The last sentence summarizes things perfectly.

These lawyers are crawling out of their fetid pools to criticize the NYC case because they’re seeing the credibility of the entire legal profession destroyed before their very eyes.

"First, I could find no previous case of any state prosecutor relying on the Federal Election Campaign Act either as a direct crime or a predicate crime. "

Where is it written in US law that "catch and kill" is a "crime"?

Medical profession - Destroyed due to Clot Shot & Trans BS

Legal system- Trans again, trans as girls, men pregnant

Education system- Trans once again, also Hate Whitey

Bottom line, any judge worth their salt would throw this case out and not let it proceed.

Everybody, even ran-and-file democrats, know this is purely political.

They see the antics of the buffoon Alvin Bragg as nothing more than a sideshow........................

Does anybody really believe that the citizens of New York give a whit about the law in this case? Heck, I’ll even go so far as to state that they probably know President Trump committed no crimes. Who cares? They have a chance to snatch a win for their team.

Dems don’t care. It’s all about the optics and feeding stories to their media...

and explains that Alvin Bragg is navigating uncharted, stormy legal waters

Pun intended?

The saddest part of this political farce is that the judiciary is complicit. The state judiciary, if not the presiding judge, should have put an end to this long ago.

And even more frightening for liberals, they're seeing Trump with the ability to campaign on being vindicated and triumphant after Trump being a "convicted felon" was the cornerstone of the Democrats' campaign messaging against him.

Still, there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of elite lawyers champing at the bit to opine that this is a very serious case and President Trump should be convicted and locked up.

“... by framing this case as some grand “election fraud” conspiracy, which the prosecution will likely struggle to support, they’re setting the jury up for big expectations that will never be met.”

Does it matter? NY juries show no sign of discretion or thought in NY cases. NY judges appear to be monsters obeying the administrative state’s dictates.

Someone in the trial would actually have to care about looking at law and facts for this to make a difference.

Very surprised the NYT would allow this to be published.

This is happening right in the middle of the liberal media market.

This is going on day after day.

it reflects poorly on the liberals and they have to report it daily.

imho this is better for trump than trump rallies because those never make it into the liberal media market.

trump could take new york and new jersey with headlines like he’s getting day after day for the next six months.

*************************************************************

There needs to be a sort of “catch all” Federal Law AGAINST “Corruption of the Judiciary”. If a judge or attorney, or juror or court staff person were indicted under such a law they would be put on trial just as if it were a murder trial. If they were/are found guilty, they go to prison for a long time.

Back in the day, judges in particular could be counted on for a reasonable amount of loyalty and adherence to their oath. Not any more. MOST are corrupt.
