PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES STATEMENT ABOUT BRAGG’S INDICTMENT:
“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats — the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country — have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.
The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ’Get Trump, but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.
Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stop the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!
I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party - united and strong - will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
BRAGG SHOULD BE DISBARRED FOR PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, with the help of either $500,000 or $1 Million from PACs funded by multi-billionaire George Soros (depending upon the news source), campaigned claiming he would, by hook or by crook, indict & convict former President Donald J. Trump, for SOMETHING, anything!!! Easier said than done. Trump is the cleanest president in this American’s lifetime. NO OTHER president has been investigated left, right, up, down, and sideways like Trump has. The multiple investigations of him have been likened to a proctology examination. If, if, if the hate-filled Deep State & Democrats had found ANYTHING wrong, the whole world would know about it in a nano-second, and this “ham sandwich” would already be in prison.
Let us start with something many high-profile people deal with that the rest of us do not: paying “hush money” to make an allegation go away. The allegation may be true, may be half-true or may be a complete lie; but, wealthy, high-profile people find it easier, less stressful and less time consuming to throw money at the problem to obtain complainant’s signature on an agreement that requires him/her to keep his/her mouth shut. You & I would fight false allegations because we do not have the funds to pay off the accuser. BUT wealthy people view the world differently: several hundred thousand dollars are not as dear to them as they are to you & me.
The grand jury asked a lot of questions that imply they are wondering: “where is the crime?” There are 23 jurors, but only 12 are needed to indict “a ham sandwich.”
WITH “SUSPECT” ALREADY TARGETED, BRAGG SEEKS A CRIME
While campaigning, Bragg bragged that he had a lot of experience litigating “financial crimes.” Bragg has many hurdles to jump over to get an indictment against Trump, much less a conviction:
1) Bragg must prove that Trump personally falsified business records. [Say what? MY business records are MY business records. Aren’t I free to keep them or not keep them as I see fit?] This is a misdemeanor under New York statutes. Since this alleged offense apparently took place in 2016, and there is a TWO-YEAR statute of limitations, this “case” died in 2018.
2) Bragg claims such a payment, if it occurred, is a violation of FEDERAL campaign finance laws, a felony. Never mind that his jurisdiction is STATE, not federal, even the federal statute of limitations (five years) ran out in 2021.
3) Even Bragg admits that this alleged payment was NOT made from campaign funds. Bragg claims that Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, made the payment out of Cohen’s own personal funds. Cohen was convicted of perjury a few years ago, unrelated to the current case. [Cohen is Bragg’s key witness.] His attorney for that case, Robert Costello, has a massive number of documents which prove that such a payment never happened and/or Michael Cohen is lying about it. Bragg presented ONLY six of these documents to the grand jury. Another potential witness, Stormy Daniels (AKA Stephanie Clifford), stated the affair never happened.*
4) Bragg is trying to extend the five-year statute of limitation to EXCLUDE the time President Trump was living in the White House and Mar-A-Lago, that is: not living in the State of New York.
NUMEROUS DEMOCRATS & NUMEROUS GOVERNMENT ATTORNEYS INVESTIGATED & DISMISSED THIS “CASE”
Democrat Cyrus Vance, Jr., the experienced three-term district attorney who preceded Bragg in the Manhattan DA’s office, took a lengthy look at this case and concluded there was no case to pursue. The Federal Election Commission looked at this case and also concluded there was no violation of campaign finance laws.
Two years ago, the US Department of Justice under Trump-hater Merrick Garland closed their investigation into whether Trump violated federal campaign finance laws in making this alleged payment. They did not find enough evidence to justify moving forward. This is the same Merrick Garland who ordered an FBI raid, “guns pointed at the gardener & maid,”** on Trump’s home in Florida last August.
Nevertheless, DA Bragg pushes ahead with this obvious political prosecution, assuming a conviction will keep our 45th president from becoming our 47th president. It will not. The US Constitution has ONLY three requirements for America’s president: 1) natural born citizen, 2) age 35 or older, and 3) has resided in America for at least 14 years. Even if indicted & convicted, former President Trump can and will run for election in 2024. How many times have the Hate-America Cult tried to get rid of him? I stopped counting at 1001.
The stupidity of liberals is mind boggling. Think this crap can’t happen to them. Just wait!!!
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it!!
