The truth of the matter in the outrageous Trump case on city lawyer Bragg's case.
The persecution of Donald Trump
The prosecution has wrapped up its case against Donald Trump in his New York trial on 34 felony counts of nobody is sure exactly what.
The 34 counts pertain to allegedly falsifying business records, but that’s not a felony in New York, and the statute of limitations on those misdemeanors expired years ago. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the misdemeanors to felonies by alleging that they were committed as part of another crime.
But he never said what crime that might be. Prosecutors didn’t say it in the indictment. They didn’t say it in the opening argument. And even now, having presented their case in full, Bragg and his prosecutors still haven’t said what “other” crime Trump is accused of committing.
A casual observer might think Trump had been arrested for rape in Central Park. Lurid but irrelevant details gushed into the record, a firehose of daily chit-chat for the TV news cycle. The prosecutors’ purpose seemed to be the general defamation of the leading candidate for the presidency of the United States.

It wasn’t too different from the “Russia collusion hoax,” which was investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller for as long as possible before he had to admit he had found no evidence of collusion. Until that moment, newsrooms had feasted on innuendo and smug suspicion, all originating from a compilation of phony intelligence that was cooked up to serve as political opposition research. The so-called “Steele dossier” was a garbage heap of salacious and unverified nonsense that was used to justify surveillance and investigation of Trump, his campaign and his associates.
And here we are again, this time in a criminal court. After weeks of tawdry but irrelevant allegations, the prosecution has concluded its case without showing any evidence that Trump committed some other crime that these 34 allegedly falsified ledger entries supposedly furthered.
~ To sum up the proceedings so far, the prosecution has no crime, the witnesses have no credibility, and the judge and prosecutors have enough major conflicts to win a screenplay contest. Imagine the judge’s instructions to the jury. “Ladies and gentlemen, please figure out what crime was committed. Don’t rush, the cable TV ratings are great. And did you meet my daughter the Democratic fundraising consultant? What a year she’s having with all the anti-Trump donations. Ka-ching, you know what I’m saying?”
~ Meanwhile, James Carville, a longtime political advisor to the Clintons, released a video on social media in which he boiled with frustration that Trump is getting stronger in the polls. “It’s not working,” he ranted. “Everything that we’re throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking.”
