The Trump indictment is Braggās version of āstop the stealā regarding the 2016 election.
You just didnāt know it was going to be about 2016, not 2020, and that the election denier is Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, not Trump.That is the untold story about the trial that starts in earnest in New York on Monday, with opening statements expected, followed by witness testimony.
We have spent much time on the manifold flaws in Braggās prosecution, including:
- A business-records-falsification indictment against Trump that Bragg, the paragon progressive prosecutor, would bring against no one but a political enemy.
- The impropriety that Bragg, a state prosecutor, is purporting to enforce federal campaign law ā without a peep of protest from the collusive Biden Justice Department, naturally ā in a matter that both DOJ and the Federal Election Commission (the federal agencies with actual jurisdiction over the matter) decided not to pursue against Trump.
- The fact that Bragg is accomplishing this by making up his own version of what federal law requires, again, without any pushback from the feds ā although you can only imagine the howling weād be hearing if this were being done to a Democrat.
- And the fact that this criminal case, mirroring New York attorney general Letitia Jamesās outrageous civil fraud case against Trump, involves an alleged fraud scheme in which the state can prove no fraud victims ā i.e., Trump is charged with falsifying his records with fraudulent intent, but the state is not claiming that anything or anyone, including the state itself, lost a penny.
Thatās what this case is about. It is an elected progressive Democratic district attorneyās version of āstop the stealā ā the fraud that Democrats claim leaves āour democracyā hanging by a thread. Donāt take my word for it. Just read the Statement of Facts, so-called, that Bragg published in conjunction with the indictment.
