As the Left rejoices over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against President Donald Trump, many are overlooking the dangerous precedent that is being set and how it will likely impact some of the Democrats’ most untouchable figures.
Amid the corporate media frenzy over Bragg’s politically motivated case, celebrities have been flocking to social media to celebrate their misguided belief that Trump will be convicted and jailed.
Meanwhile, Democrats seem to believe that the case will stop Trump from being reelected next year, despite the fact that it will more likely guarantee his victory.
And while the Left celebrates the political persecution of a former U.S. president and leading presidential candidate, Democrats are failing to realize that their own party idols, namely the Bidens and the Clintons, could also be gored by a hyperpartisan prosecutor in search of a crime, no matter how trivial.
George Soros-funded Bragg’s get-Trump case is so convoluted that even the Washington Post thinks it’s a stretch.
The left-wing newspaper warns that the case will backfire on the Democrats as it sets an ominous precedent.
It threatens to open a Pandora’s box of political indictments against former presidents and other elected officials, as well as their family members, by local prosecutors seeking to settle political scores.
What could DAs go after top Democrats for?
There’s no shortage of scandals, as investigative journalist Paul Sperry notes.
Let’s take the Clinton Foundation, described by whistleblowers as the largest unprosecuted fraud in history.
Bill and Hillary Clinton registered it as a tax-exempt charity, but have used it as their own personal “piggy bank.”
The foundation keeps offices in Little Rock, Ark., where new Pulaski County DA Will Jones is a Republican who last year beat a George Soros-backed Democrat for the job.
He might be able to get creative with a tax fraud case against the Clintons, who have potentially stiffed local coffers of millions in corporate income and other taxes.
Over the objections of local anti-tax advocates, the Clintons allegedly pressured Little Rock officials to float close to $20 million in bonds to buy land and construct the building housing the supposedly nonprofit foundation along with the Clinton Presidential Library.
What’s more, whistleblowers have accused Clinton Foundation officials — including the former president — of using tax-exempt donations for personal use, including private travel, which they have denied.
Comingling such funds is illegal.
Other red states that could manufacture indictments against Democrats include Florida and Tennessee, where President Biden’s brother James Biden has gotten into hot water for allegedly defrauding healthcare companies.
James allegedly conned the founder of Fort Lauderdale-based Americore Health into thinking he could be a rainmaker based on his big name and snagged a corner office at the headquarters, where he displayed framed photos of himself with then-Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama.
But instead of bringing in business, Biden allegedly shook down Americore for personal loans he used for repairs on a family vacation home in South Florida, among other things, according to court papers.
James Biden allegedly promised his partners at Americore he could get them a big influx of capital from his and Hunter Biden’s Chinese connections, but he used that cash instead to go on a spending spree.
His shenanigans left Americore facilities in such financial disarray that at least one of its hospitals, located in Ellwood City, Pa., had to stop paying workers in 2018.
The issue prompted local authorities to open a criminal investigation of its finances the next year.
If he were so inclined, the local Lawrence County, Pa., DA could follow in Bragg’s footsteps and open a grand jury probe of Biden.
A pair of medical clinics in Tennessee and Alabama have also accused James Biden of fraud, which he has denied.
To be sure, nobody is insisting on ginning up charges against prominent Democrats as Bragg has done against President Trump, the GOP front-runner for election to the White House.
The point is that what Democrat Bragg is doing could now happen anywhere.
“You can be sure there are prosecutors across Florida and Texas right now who are looking for a state-law hook into the Biden family,” warned Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog group Judicial Watch.
And the moment such an indictment is unsealed, Democrats and their media propagandists will lose their minds.
In the past, local authorities thought twice about bringing novel indictments against national politicians.
However, Bragg and his Democrat co-conspirators have removed that taboo and it’s now open season.
Bragg has been gunning for Trump from the get-go.
In 2021, he even campaigned on targeting Trump with a “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” pledge to voters.
Before recently locking her account, wife Jamila Ponton Bragg even bragged on Twitter that her husband was going to nail Trump on some unspecified felonies.
Why? Because she felt Trump was “racist.”
Yet, besides the fact that “racism” isn’t a felony crime, Bragg nor any of Trump’s critics have ever provided any evidence of him doing or saying anything considered “racist.”
Once he got into office, Bragg ignored statutes of limitations and resurrected a seven-year-old misdemeanor case against Trump that other prosecutors had shunned.
Then he trod on shaky grounds of jurisdictional authority to turn it into a felony based on federal campaign finance laws.
In short, he cooked up a crime.
But his legal alchemy is sure to backfire on Democrats in the future, with prosecutorial retaliation after retaliation.
yes it demonstrates no president or ex-president is immune to prosecution. Is that why Obama is now relocating to Kenya?
Ya think? If Trump gets convicted off this indictment, the rest of the body politic had better get their affairs in order because they will get 50 to life!
Nope! These actions will NEVER be applied to democommies. Ever. Welcome to ‘just another TWSH’.
The bureaucrats are turning the tables on the elected oligarchy and they don’t even realize it.
Don’t forget obunghole!
I pray this all gets exposed and Obama, Clintons, and the Rinos all go to jail.
John Wayne voice: “That’ll be the day.”
Let’s be fair: Fat Al needs to indict all past and current presidents. Unless Fat Al is removed for going too far with Trump. This is making a mockery of our “justice system”.
Now that precedent has been set, It will be open season on Democrats, politically......
LOL yeah like there is going to be any charges against any of them..please, everyone knows the Dems are and have always been above the law..Id love to know how many NDA’s the commie media have given throughout the many years, come on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC lets see
“namely the Bidens and the Clintons”
Don’t forget the Obamas. Remember, Tony Rezko basically “gifted” him a quite expensive house in Hyde Park. Some might say you could make a decent bribery case based on that.
I don’t think he can move to Uganda; their government is making his “activities” illegal. Whatever African country has the most lax laws about queering is a good move for him.
democrats still control the elections.
doesn’t matter who the republicans put up.
they lose.
“Is that why Obama is now relocating to Kenya?”
I had to check that one! Yes he is moving there and this may will be why!
I don't know which is more terrifying - Bragg running on this "get Trump" platform, or his winning the election based on this platform.
My thoughts as well.
Rules for thee but not for me.
—democrat politician
It’s way past due for the Clintons, Joe and Hunter, Sharpton, Comey, and a knot of others to face criminal charges. We need a bunch of DA’s to write up a 34 charge indictment against each one, and process it just like Bragg did.
Trump called a Mexican-American judge a Mexican back in 2016. I guess that was racist. He moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. That must be racist. There must be plenty more examples.
