#1 PJ Media: Soros-Funded DA Alvin Bragg May Have Hidden Exculpatory Evidence in Trump Case

Alvin Bragg now needs a lawyer ?

#2 So - the walls aren't closing in anymore?

#4 ...This gets funnier every single time I see a story.

I am wondering - and bear with me, fellow Burgers, while I explain - if there was never going to BE an indictment in the first place.

Mr. District Attorney over there may be evil, but he's not stupid - he knew perfectly well that his chances of getting an indictment that would stick were just about zero. OTOH, he could keep a grand jury going indefinitely with a steady stream of hints, allegations, and calumny that would keep the MSM in fits of ecstasy well into the election season. Trump and his people would demolish the best case Bragg could bring, Trump would once more have beaten the odds, and Bragg would look like a fool, and Bragg didn't want that.

Instead, somebody either leaked a garbled version of what was actually going on or Trump's people took a chance with their 'Tuesday' statements. Either way now, Bragg's stuck - he'll lose in court or he'll be crucified by his Fellow Travelers. The possibility that there's exculpatory issues (which never would have come to light with no indictment) is icing on the cake.

#5 It's quite obvious Trump set this up. In fact, I believe I heard it confirmed on The View.

Beso,

Well, somebody needs to make up my mind - is Trump a drooling moron incapable of coherent thought or a fiendishly brilliant political genius who would make Machiavelli look like Mortimer Snerd? ;)

#7 The city is filled with crime, crime victims… and this DA is stepping over murder victims to give Trump a jaywalking ticket.

#8 The desperation level with these communists has now become palpable. I would recommend Trump update his personal security measures. These people will likely stop at nothing.

#9 From the wishful thinking department, but it'd be nice to learn if fatso Bragg was pushed into doing this to make him look like a fool to ultimately oust him some how. If not even Merrick "the Wimp" Garland didn't consider pursuing charges (federal vs local, yeah), then why now? This is even way more Mickey Mouse than January 6th crapola.

#12 Alvin Bragg is 'struggling' to convince grand jury to charge Trump: Questions grow over whether Manhattan DA canceled session because he is having problems with 'weak' case and there is chaos in his office

#13 If you remember , Rashida Talib ran for office and was elected on a simple promise to impeach Trump. Bragg did the same thing. He is still likely to indict Trump.

An NYC judge and jury are likely to be as anti-Trump as Bragg so there may be a conviction in the same type of railroad circumstances that you saw with Alex Jones. The judge may declare Trump in default spontaneously and take it directly to sentencing in a proceeding that approximates the animatronics styling of the Chuck E Cheese band, MMBB.
I believe Bragg will make an indictment because that was his promise. A guilty verdict will be the flip side of the coin to the Sussmann result where a guilty man was totally exonerated.

If Bragg does not indict because his case is just too bogus, the torch will be passed to the Georgia grand jury or the special counsel for a continuation of the sham. Remember the jury Forman in Georgia? Does anyone think that looked like a fair process?

#14 And once they indict him they can hold him without bail indefinitely, like the January 6 protesters

#15 OTOH, he could keep a grand jury going indefinitely with a steady stream of hints, allegations, and calumny that would keep the MSM in fits of ecstasy well into the election season.

Bogus charges to keep the MSM in fits of ecstasy are what the Dems have been doing for the past seven years. But with a New York grand jury, they may now have calculated that they can get an indictment and conviction no matter how weak the case is, no matter if their star witness Michael Cohen has been thoroughly impeached. With a judge who is in on the deal and on the take, a motion for change of venue will be denied. Dems may be planning for more Jan 6 style agents procateurs to spark violence at the mass protests that will certainly result. Then they can declare martial law and suspend the constitution. Hope I'm wrong but these people are evil.

Long term political ad character hit crossed my mind too.

Putting out official ingredients so the news actors could bake up whatever slanders they could think up.

Would be consistent. Maybe that's all it was supposed to be but Bragg started believing his own bullshit.

#18 "House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan just sent letters to former special prosecutors Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz demanding documents and testimony relating to Manhattan D.A.Bragg’s unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority amid the reported impending indictment of former President Donald Trump," Jordan's office released Thursday. "Dunne and Pomerantz both resigned from their positions in the DA’s Office in January 2022 after Bragg’s initial reluctance to move forward with charges against President Trump. Since leaving the DA’s office, Dunne and Pomerantz have publicly criticized Bragg for refusing to aggressively prosecute President Trump and now have even opened a law firm to bring lawsuits to prevent President Trump from holding future office."

#19 #17 I would caution on drawing the attention of KeK. I recall, back in 2016, KeK would demand absolute rule and there he thrust forth His Legion, drunk with the corruption of low impulse control. Let us be very cautious.
