The closer you look at Bragg's case, the stupider it becomes.
None of the liberals calling for Trump's head know what he's accused of, they just know he did it. They don't remember how the previous accusations ended or even what they were, despite having taken the strongest of positions; and here they are, again, taking the strongest position on the one issue they want you to know they care about: Donald Trump is Guilty.
So that's the Manhattan jury pool. Almost all of them read the New York Times so it's no wonder. But to be fair, no one else knows what Trump's accused of, either. Not the lawyers, not the pundits nor the people they interview. Three weeks in, no one on either side or on the outside knows what the crime is. I heard a Politico reporter tell Brian Lehrer that a prosecutor doesn't have to say what the charges are, but can figure them out as he goes. Lehrer affected that this made perfect sense to him, and I think they're right: Alvin Bragg himself doesn't know what the charges are.
I asked my mom, a reliable barometer for MSM messaging, to explain the crime in Trump's “hush money” payments, and she said it's the cover-up. “That's what an NDA is, Mom. An contract to pay someone not to talk.”
“But Trump covered that up,” she said. “During an election.”
She thinks of the hush money as the crime and the cover-up, but simultaneously, thinks the crime is the cover-up of the hush money. In other words, she tracks Bragg's case perfectly. Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels and billing Trump for reimbursement could only have been directed by Trump as an illegal scheme to conceal the NDA.

It is nothing but election interference. Just like the other cases.
Andrew McCarthy agrees. But he pointed out the jury is only being fed information and instruction from the judge. They will believe what Mercan tells them, I’m sure.
Weinstein is a reference concerning evidence allowed. He was convicted in 2020, the prosecution used (and the judge allowed) tainted testimony not pertaining to his case and is now getting a new trial.
Exactly right
One can only wonder what the payoff is for the judge & DA as they trample upon the justice system.
““But Trump covered that up,”
He’s under no obligation to disclose it in the first place.
Perhaps the author’s mother thinks she’s supposed to advertise everytime she banged a guy on a date when she’s applying for a job?
Blackmail and Bribes are the bread and butter of the Democrat party. plenty more to come.
Yes, but it seems there is an industry that does this. They make better money thru extortion than by printing it in tabloids.
"OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" ( or he will be president!)
Great point. Maybe a deep dive needs to made into ALL of the Lawfare judges. The system NEEDS to be changed or we will not survive as a Republic.
I’ve used such language prior - though perhaps not here - and it’s about time someone wrote an analysis of this tack.
I would label it ‘accurate’.
Hope’s testimony showed he lied when he denied knowing anything about it publically in 18 when in fact she was involved in the silencing efforts in 16.
Yes, she mentioned keeping newspapers from Melania on the access Hollywood video (doesn’t she watch tv or listen to the radio?) but she also said Stormy caused Trump just as much concern campaign wise. There are so many that try to absolve this as an either/or situation when it appears to have been both personal and political. One doesn’t negate the other.
Since the judge clearly said Trump can testify, do you expect he will take the stand like he promised early on? Will he give us a Col. Jessup moment? B
That place is becoming as ‘awash’ with money as DC
This writer needs to fire his mother. She has proven to be an idiot.
Lookit joesbucks, the FR Democrat Party operative, defending the Colombian cartel stooge-judge’s show trial, and Fat Alvin’s non-case.
If Trump got mugged, he’d be charged with aiding and abetting criminals.
Are you upset she exposed Trump lied to us when asked about Stormy in 18 saying he knew nothing about it when he was involved in 16? Is Hope a liar? Will Trump testify like he promised earlier now that the Colombian Cartel judge made it clear after schooling him there’s nothing stopping him from testifying should he want to?
When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. Bragg is prosecuting the case because he promised the voters he would prosecute Trump and he fears he won’t get reeelcted. Judge is acting as he is because he’s just a leftist hack. He may surprise us in the end… the appellate court has seemed to be willing to play it more straight. No judge likes to be reversed, particularly not in a high profile case
Thanks for your opinion on this, Nicolle Wallace.
Opinions are like YOU - everyone has one.

I think the meds wore off.
