Democrats’ Banana-Republic Persecution Of Donald Trump Must Meet A Republican Response
American media has bombarded us daily from all directions to make sure we know that Donald Trump indirectly paid a woman to shut her mouth as she and her now-convict lawyer, Michael Avenatti, shook him down for money.
In New York, false financial accounting can be a low-level misdemeanor, but it’s rarely prosecuted. Now Alvin Bragg, a municipal prosecutor, is trying to make a name for himself by charging former President Trump with that crime.
This is the equivalent of a nationally televised jaywalking arrest to humiliate a person due solely to personal hate. George Soros, Bragg’s benefactor, must be grinning from ear to ear.
Hillary Clinton Got Off For a Worse Deed
Trump’s former lawyer accounted for the payment as consulting or attorney’s fees. Allegedly, so did President Trump, and $130,000 changed hands.
For perspective, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid $1 million for the infamous fictional “Steele dossier.” They paid for this using one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, Marc Elias, as a cutout to hide who was paying for this opposition research that falsely claimed Trump was colluding with Russia.
They then laundered the dossier through various contacts to try to destroy Trump and get Clinton elected president. Those people officially accounted for the $1 million dossier expense as “legal fees.” So, one side paid people to lie. The other paid someone not to lie, or at least not to speak.
Clinton lives in New York, the state in which Trump is likely to be charged over a $130,000 payment. She has not been charged for the $1 million payment. Do these events really sound vastly different to you?
Bragg hopes to spin that unserious charge into a federal campaign finance violation. Meanwhile, the dossier fraud, which affected two presidential elections and two presidential impeachments, was settled with a $113,000 fine.
Bragg’s Case Is a Mess
City prosecutors cannot charge people with federal crimes. Only feds can charge federal crimes, not some city prosecutor. Bragg has allegedly met with the Secret Service about how they will react to a New York City police officer approaching President Trump with handcuffs (if they can find one who will do it). Bragg is way over his head and wading into deep political waters.
New York Attorney General Tish James ran for office almost exclusively on a “get Trump” platform. She hated the man and promised to find a crime he committed, rather than responding to a crime and looking for a perpetrator. After years of not finding anything, she did not charge Trump with any crimes. Same state. Same New York laws. More investigative tools. Yet she passed on the opportunity to...

House Republicans Launch Probe Into Manhattan DA’s ‘Unprecedented Abuse’ Of Office To Target Trump
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) sent a letter to Bragg on Monday requesting an interview with the New York prosecutor as well as documents and communications related to the district attorney’s investigation into Trump.
“You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office,” the letter says. “If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election.”
“In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision,” it says.
It’s unclear if Republicans will move to subpoena Bragg to obtain the materials if the district attorney refuses their request. Any subpoena would have to be enforced by the Justice Department, which could refuse to take action against Bragg if the House did hold him in contempt.
Trump set off a firestorm over the weekend when he announced over his social media platform, Truth Social, that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday.
“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” he posted, calling for his supporters to protest.
The former president’s lead defense attorney, Susan Necheles, said the rumored Tuesday arrest date was based on press reports of Bragg’s investigation. She said Trump’s defense team had received no communications from Bragg’s office on any indictment.
“President Trump is basing this on press reports,” Necheles said. “This is a political prosecution and the DA leaks things to the press instead of communicating to the lawyers as they should.”
Bragg’s office is investigating Trump over an alleged hush money payment Trump made to the former porn star popularly known as Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election. The payment was allegedly to keep Daniels silent over an earlier affair she had with Trump.
If Bragg does indict Trump, it would be the first indictment of a former U.S. president. The basis for an indictment, especially considering the political ramifications, is dubious. Other prosecutors have looked at the facts of the case and declined to pursue legal action against Trump, according to The Washington Post.
Bragg has been looking at Trump since taking office in early 2022, continuing an investigation launched by his predecessor, former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., though Vance had reportedly tabled the case before...
