As a Possible Indictment Looms, Trump’s Team Plans to Attack
The New York Times via Yahoo ^ | March 17, 2023 | By Maggie Haberman

As former President Donald Trump faces likely criminal charges, his campaign is preparing to wage a political war.

With an indictment looming from the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, Trump’s campaign is laying the groundwork for a broad attack on Bragg, a Democrat. According to two of Trump’s political allies, the campaign will aim to portray any charges as part of a coordinated offensive by the Democratic Party against Trump, who is trying to become only the second former president to win a new term after leaving office.

It is unclear what data points, if any, the Trump team plans to point to beyond Bragg’s party registration in order to make a case that the district attorney is part of a broader political conspiracy against the former president. It is also uncertain whether Trump will add lawyers to his legal defense team or bring on a communications adviser to play a more traditional role of responding to what will be a crush of media questions related to a potential indictment.

The Justice Department has spent months investigating Trump in separate inquiries into his possession of hundreds of classified documents at his private club, Mar-a-Lago, and his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

Those efforts led to the most visible moment when Trump focused the anger of his supporters on the institutions of government, the lead-up to the violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The House MUST Impeach Biden, get the evidence out in trial. If the Marxists want to play, than let's play.

If they get away with jailing Trump, it’s over. Shortly thereafter, we’ll have government health care paid for by repealing tax cuts going back to GW. They’ll unleash unions, raise the job-killing minimum wage, fund fake “green energy,” pass UBI, make college indoctrination free, etc. Freedom will be dead.

This is obviously just another phony political hit job, just like the 2 impeachments.

Unfortunately, Trump won’t have Congress to decide his guilt or not, as a NYC jury is probably a lot more biased than even Congress was against him.

He needs some top shelf lawyers to make his case this time, both in court and on TV. Guess we’ll see who he comes up with.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” The slogan of communists and democrats.
