Looking for more proof that one-party Democrat states like California and New York are becoming virtual dictatorships? Look no further than Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who has overseen a massive crime wave due to his pro-crime policies. But that's not all he's been up to - he's also been targeting political opponents, including an unprecedented attempt to revive a misdemeanor for falsifying business documents that expired years ago against none other than former President Donald Trump.
It's obvious to all except the most delusional that this coming indictment is just a way to torpedo his campaign for President. And as we've seen with the recent prosecutions of hundreds of J6 protestors, it all hinges on where Trump is tried. Going before a Manhattan judge as well as a jury of New York liberals, there's a chance he could be convicted. But appeals will be forthcoming, and there's no way this gets past them. In fact this may very well ensure that he is once again in the White House come 2024.
The Justice Department has attempted this kind of tyranny once before when they tried to prosecute John Edwards on even stronger allegations. They were unsuccessful
Trump's personal attorney, Timothy Parlatore, believes that a prior Supreme Court case involving former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could be used as a legal precedent favorable to Trump in the indictment.
"A lot of people think intent to defraud that just means intent to deceive," he said. "So if you have a hush money payment, the write in as if it's an attorney fee, that's an intent to deceive. But an intent to defraud is required to have the additional element of to try to deprive somebody of money or property. And that's certainly not present here, whatsoever."Trump's refusal to bend to the left's will has been met with constant bogus investigations and accusations."If you falsify the records to try and get somebody to pay you extra money that you're not otherwise entitled to, that's intent to defraud," he continued. "If you're just trying to hide what the source of the money is, or what the purpose of the money is, and even if you're trying to conceal a campaign donation, that wouldn't fit into... the definition of an intent to defraud."
"And so that's the kind of thing that I would expect that the judge would look at very early on and dismiss on those points," Parlatore said.
..."But, you know, it's certainly the Bridgegate case, where Chris Christie ordered the lane shut down and they charged them with an intent to defraud," Parlatore continued. "But the thing is, by just you know, when you have an intent to cause a traffic jam, and your political rival's town, that's not an intent to deprive anybody of money or property. And so that's why the Supreme Court reversed that case. And it's the same throughout."
Trump paid Cohen with his own money after his then-lawyer had paid Daniels. Bragg therefore would need to assert that someone was deprived of money or property in the effort in order to make the case.

No matter what happens, remain peaceful!
That will show the Communist left we mean business.
Its not intimidation and marginalization.
Its persecution.
The Left are bullies.
The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them.
Kari Lake will be next and Mike Lindell after that.
They’ve arrested many prior to Trump.
It’s full on Banaba Republic.
I am only voting for trump for now on. Of course this has been true since 2020 election. I will not vote for the republican nominee if they did not back Trump from 2020 onward.
Actually, imagine the reaction if another candidate is targeted for persecution now.
That might sway a few——a few——of the independents and even Dems.
Then CNN, MSNBC, the View and others would start saying “Not just Trump, all the racist, homophobic GOP has to go.”
They’re going to have to go that way soon once DeSantis or Cruz is close to nomination if, God forbid, they eliminate Trump (by law or physically).
The day JFK was murdered Time Magazine had a story that JFK would struggle against Goldwater in a number of states. LBJ and the sympathy vote got LBJ to be re-elected.
By any means necessary.
Who will be next???
Everybody!
The left and Soros are winning the battles. And republicans fear taking them on.
So, it doesn’t look good for our side.
Some of us are planning a virtual protest. ( Mostly because everyone is too afraid to stand up and be seen!)
On Tuesday morning post photos of yourself and the flag, TRUMP signs, etc and your general location on Truth Social, etc.
“It’s full on Banana Republic.”
***********
Biden see’s himself as El Presidente.
Spot On!!!
Useless
Meatball Ron is next!
Whoever gets the Republican nomination.
Wasn’t some guy jailed because he made a derogatory meme of Hillary? Any idea of what it was about?
To be a “peaceful protest®” there should be fire involved.
At some point in the near future someone will need to enforce the law and arrest the anarchists.
The only other option is to surrender to the 1% fringe OR to adopt their tactics and play their game.
There is no real middle ground.
