Ahead of a January 10 sentencing in Donald Trump’s New York hush money case, the president-elect made a shocking claim: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “never wanted to bring” the case against him. He also slammed the “broken” legal system in a scathing statement.
“D.A. Alvin Bragg never wanted to bring this lawless case against me. He was furious at the way it was handled, and especially angry at MARK POMERANTZ for his behavior, and what he did. Ultimately, the Biden/Harris DOJ forced Bragg to concoct anything to embarrass TRUMP. But it was even more so what the CORRUPT and TOTALLY CONFLICTED POLITICAL HACK Judge did, and is doing, on this sham trial,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “I even have, STILL, an Unconstitutional Gag Order where I am not allowed to speak about the Judge’s highly disqualifying Conflicts of Interest. Virtually ever legal scholar and pundit says THERE IS NO (ZERO!) CASE AGAINST ME. The Judge fabricated the facts, and the law, no different than the other New York Judicial and Prosecutorial Witch Hunts. That’s why businesses are fleeing New York, taking with them millions of jobs, and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAXES. The legal system is broken, and businesses can’t take a chance in getting caught up in this quicksand. IT’S ALL RIGGED, in this case against a political opponent, ME!!!”
Donald Trump says there was never a president ‘who was so evilly and illegally treated as I’ Judge Juan Merchan reportedly rejected a request from Trump to dismiss the case following his victory in the presidential election in November 2024. Merchan wrote in his order that the president-elect could appear for the sentencing either in person or virtually, and also suggested that he would not face jail time, probation, or fine. The judge suggested Trump would instead receive an “unconditional discharge.”
Trump claimed in another recent Truth Social post that “there has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated” as him. He wrote, “Corrupt Democrat judges and prosecutors have gone against a political opponent of a President, ME, at levels of injustice never seen before. Corrupt judges, or judges so blinded by their hatred of me and my political ideology to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” are making a mockery of the United States Judicial System, and the World is watching in disgust.”
He added, “Deranged Jack Smith, the evil and sinister prosecutor appointed by Crooked Joe Biden to “take me down,” was found to be illegally appointed by a CORRUPT DOJ and FBI, and all of his many charges against me were dropped or dismissed. His illegal raid of my home, Mar-a-Lago, will go down as one of the “dirtiest tricks” ever perpetrated by one candidate, a dumb as a rock, Sleepy Joe Biden, on another. With all of this said, I still have confidence that the Appellate Courts will bring JUSTICE TO AMERICA!!!”
President Trump has every right to be fighting mad. This is the cheapest form of Stalinism ever.
I had no illusions about the depth the Democrat Party would,I’ve lived through presidential assinations and attempts.
We’re a society that understands firearms. They’re in the American DNA.
But using the court system, the law, as a weapon of the state is beyond un-American.
If you have no recourse in the court, if indeed the law is your enemy what chance do any of us have?
Great find, Red!
The embarrassment is on the cry baby rats.
This case was pure garbage from day 1. The Judge says Trump has to attend the sentencing in person. Is he? What if he just stays in Florida? What exactly is the Judge going to do about it?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. the DOJ has become America's KGB
OK, they do not run gulags (yet), but their bureaucratic form, political function and behavior in serving the narrow political interests of the ruling central government clique are EXACTLY the same.
Trump will not be around forever. If America's KGB survives him, it will come back far worse than before.
“The Judge says Trump has to attend the sentencing in person. Is he? What if he just stays in Florida? What exactly is the Judge going to do about it?”
The judge said he could do a virtual attendence.
Of course Trump knows exactly who did what where and when and why.
Pam Bondi knows too.
The very thing that brought down the House of Bourbon in France late in the 18th Century. The courts could be bought, and made rulings that were favorable to the winner of the bidding contest. The French Revolution and the Reign of Terror were part of the result, in an environment where the reputation of nobody was safe from the full lash of the authoritarian Paris Commune.
“Fight, fight, fight!”
Hmmm. Signaling to Bragg that he would be open to granting immunity in exchange for testimony in federal court?
I hope Trump finds a way to make Biden’s final days miserable.
It’s become inordinately clear, traitors and America last misfits highjacked this government long ago...
This is like some kind of never ending “Night Of The Long Knives’’.
It is telling that they only fought so hard to stop Trump, but no other Republicans. It is almost like all other Republicans were part of the uni party, so only token resistance was necessary.
they are trying to tag him with the convicted felon label to restrict him in various ways. The label might prevent him from serving on the board of his various companies for instance.
The Donald has got a pretty good start on that, already
He and his wife and family are already miserable people.
