Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA who initially ignored his assistants' recommendation to indict Trump for election fraud, has apparently had a change of heart. As everyone knows by now, Trump ordered his fixer Michael Cohen pay porn star Stormy Daniels (aka Stephanie Clifford) to keep her mouth closed about their sexual liaison. Campaign funds were involved in the payment, so that is a violation of campaign finance laws. Later, Bragg rejuvenated the investigation after the lead prosecutor resigned in disagreement with him. Now, he appears near an indictment because he asked the Orange Menace to appear before the grand jury to testify. Undoubtably, Trump will not comply his request. Why Bragg did not simply subpoena the witness is very curious.
Perhaps Bragg's renewed interest is an attempt by the so-called "deep state"--political insiders in power--to let Trump off lightly for his numerous crimes. Conviction in the Daniels case amounts to a low-level felony for which he could serve a maximum of four years compared to twenty for sedition. Actual jail time for Trump is highly unlikely, and another example of the justice system's bias in favor of the rich and influential. On another front in the so-called "witch hunt", the Georgia legislature, which is run by Repugnants, passed a new bill (Senate 92) subjecting district attorneys like Fanni Willis, who is investigating Trump for his interference in the presidential election, to removal from office by an appointed commission. The Georgia Lieutenant Governor is also a target of that investigation. These proto-facists are not subtle, are they? So much for law and order!
'Hair' Trumpillini is already running for President and is ahead in opinion polls for the Repugnant party's nomination. He declared that he will not drop out of the race even if indicted for a crime; you have to admit the man has titanium cohones. This nation cannot suffer a second term from a man who has no respect for laws, or democracy. In a recent appearance he labeled Bragg a "racist prosecutor' being pushed by "radical Democrats" and the media. He called Daniels a "horse face". At least "radical democrats" still support the Constitution! This dangerous child sociopath must be disqualified from office by a conviction for his unprecedented offenses against the constitutional order. The Daniels payoff is very small potatoes. Try again, Garland.
