The Brief: Bragg's Obsession To Pin A Crime On Trump Deserves Disbarment And More | Gregg Jarrett (thegreggjarrett.com) "The consensus —even among Democrats who despise Donald Trump— is that Alvin Bragg has made a colossal mess of things.
"Recently, the Manhattan District Attorney compounded one legal blunder with another. This should surprise no one. Bragg is the kind of guy who could screw up a free lunch. Incompetence is his métier.
"In his brief tenure as DA, he has managed to increase the number of criminals terrorizing the streets of New York City by refusing to prosecute many of them or dropping serious felonies to petty misdemeanors. Innocent victims of the rampant crime fume and rage against Bragg, while prosecutors in his charge have abandoned ship.
"Like the crazed captain in Moby Dick, Bragg is obsessed with harpooning Trump, his white whale. In the DA’s twisted mind, all evil in the world is personified by the former president. You can almost hear Bragg channeling Ahab’s words, “They think me mad, but I’m demoniac, I am madness maddened!”
"Instead of getting a mental health check-up, Bragg chose to indict the former president based on a transparently invented crime that is wholly unsupported by the law and contradicted by the facts.
"His warped theory goes something like this: Trump supposedly violated campaign finance laws by paying money to a lying accuser in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement, which is legal. Forget that the transaction itself does not count as a campaign contribution. The federal prosecutors determined it doesn’t. So did the Federal Election Commission. Both reviewed the matter and concluded that no laws were broken.". . .
