NYT Op-Ed: ‘I Thought the Bragg Case Against Trump Was a Legal Embarrassment. Now I Think It’s a Historic Mistake’…

I’m thinking that Bragg was dragged into this prosecution knowing it was BS, but relying on a New York jury to convict regardless of the merits.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

The problem with the professor's opinion is that he expects a jury to see through these legal shenanigans. But the game Bragg is playing only requires the jury to accept his version of the law, and is unconcerned if it is overturned on appeal when actual legal minds are able to see the weakness of the case.

Bragg is not looking for a Home Run here. He only needs a conviction to put Trump behind bars until November. That's their whole plan. They don't care if Trump is free by December or January. They're just playing for six months, or even less if you throw in the fact that after this case, they're going to turn it over to Jack Smith and the DC judge.

A random act of journalism from the NYT! Pigs do fly.

[FamiliarFace]

I still don’t understand how any accounting done in 2017 can be said to have interfered with the election that occurred in 2016.

It doesn’t.

This is Her Heinous getting back at Trump using her NYC connections.

She’ll never get over him kicking her fat _ss, so she’s trying to muddy him up with this to affect the 2024 election.

When he gets re-elected, it’ll destroy her “stolen” narrative.

[cnsmom]

Democrats make their ABA money off fake overpriced investigations that take years. The ABA wants their payback.

[FamiliarFace]

It’s funny how she can say the election was stolen in 2016, and so can Stacey Abrams, but Trump isn’t allowed to say that 2020 was fraudulent.

[Red Badger]

It doesn’t, but Dems neve let facts get in their way.................

The whole NYT editorial with no paywall

Most of the versions posted here are abridged.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ Calling it election interference actually cheapens the term and undermines the deadly serious charges in the real election interference cases.”

That is the entire point of this charade campaign.

The Democrats know they engaged in gigantic election fraud. And they were successful in it. They plan to do it in every subsequent election from here forward.

The only way to be able to do it is to squelch and destroy any voices of opposition to what they are doing. To cower them into submission. They’ve successfully done that with the Republican Party. They need to make sure any outsider or independent voices are also destroyed so that their electoral process can continue without serious controversy.

“ Calling it election interference actually cheapens the term and undermines the deadly serious charges in the real election interference cases.”

That is the entire point of this charade campaign.

AlINSKY'S RULES FOR RADICALS:

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

“Communist Rules for Revolution.”

3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule, etc.

Sure hope the jurors have the brains to follow all of this. They’ve already decided Orange Man Bad, and it’s going to take an arsenal to change their minds.

[GOPJ]

... the Old Gray Hag actually let a well-respected legal professor from Boston University publish an opinion piece. This piece didn’t just poke holes in Alvin Bragg’s sham “hush money” case—it blasted it into a pile of dust.

Can we assume the editor who approved this piece will be fired?
