Mexico's president calls out Alvin Bragg, saying his indictment is a scheme to keep Trump off the ballot: "Been There, Done That"

Whatever you think of Mexico's leftist president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, there's no disputing he knows every dirty trick in the third world playbook, having been on the receiving end of at least some of it.

He's watching what's going on in the U.S. now, with Manhattan's "let-'em-all-out" district attorney, Alvin Bragg, seeking to indict President Trump on felony campaign finance charges, and smells the stench of 'banana republic' all over it.

According to Newsweek:

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Tuesday defended Donald Trump, saying a potential indictment of the former president could be a move to prevent him from seeking reelection.

"Right now, former President Trump is declaring that they are going to arrest him," López Obrador, who is also known by his initials AMLO, said during a press conference. "If that were the case...it would be so that his name doesn't appear on the ballot."

And it does have the stench of 'banana republic' all over it. A sudden epiphany of concern for rule of law, from a district attorney who let every crook out he could, is obviously about politics, not rule of law. Keeping Trump off the ballot is the obvious aim here and AMLO from abroad could see it from experience.

It's bad when Mexico notifies what a pathetic corrupt Banana Republic America has become.

Thank you RINOs and my fellow citizens for the 2020 election outcome.

If elite deep-state-affiliated white federal prosecutors working for blank-minded Robert Mueller can torture Bad Orange Man for years with impunity and preserving their places in the NY and DC dinner and cocktail party invitation circuit, corporate board and college professorship short lists, vacation home donation rosters, book publisher advance bonus eligibility, etc., Bragg will be well positioned to demand all of that and more after commissioning that rarest of images: A Donald J. Trump mugshot.

Maybe Trump has extra sentimental value added to his property.

I have a micky mouse hat from 50 years ago, I think it is priceless but I only value it at $5,000,000 is that a crime?

Or is it the Silicon valley bank who is at fault for loaning me $4,000,000 using the hat as collateral.

Or is it the Silicon valley bank who is at fault for loaning me $4,000,000 using the hat as collateral.

I always thought that the lender was obligated to appraise the value of anything they accept as collateral. If Trump said blah blah blah, so what? Did Trump actually sit down with a banker or did Trump's real estate lawyers sit down with a banker?

I'm not sure why the OP went down this path but so far no link.
