Bragg says Trump created ‘false expectation’ on potential arrest
The Hill ^ | 03/23/2023 | REBECCA BEITSCH

Posted on 03/23/2023 8:56:43 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) for the first time on Thursday addressed a claim by former President Trump that he would be arrested in connection to an investigation into a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, calling it the creation of a “false expectation.”

Bragg, in response to demands by House Republicans to force his testimony and turn over all documents and communication on the case, wrote in a letter to Congress that such a move was an “unprecendent[ed] inquiry into a pending local prosecution.”

“The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” Bragg wrote.

It is Manhattan, but still Democrat.

That is how you fight vs crawling in your Turtle shell and saying “Yes, Mr(s) Marxist Democrat. The Rino’s and I will help you fight the MAGA Republicans”.

I stand corrected. But hardly a jury of his “peers.”

What’s next? Are they going to call him Teflon Don II?

I can see CBS/CNN/NBC/ABC/BLA/BLA/BLA all repeat the name-calling with glee...they’re all about as mature as 7th grade girls.

Watch him try to twist that into a charge.
= = =

That would be obstruction of justice.

Trump made him put up all those barricades, which obstructed the way into the court, thus obstructing justice.

I think the unprecedented part is using federal funds to support a local witch hunt against the strongest candidate for the presidency on the field.

Trump may have forced Bragg to bring his case to an end before he intended, but that is a good thing for everyone. Politicizing the rule of law is a deadly serious game to play and anyone who didn’t understand that is going to pay a price in the 2024 election, including Republican uniparty members.

I just read that even Lindsay Graham was saying that on Jesse Water’s show, last night.

I reckon this is a wind-sniffing precursor to hoisting the white flag . . .

This is why you fight back and play offense

Wrong. Just leave me alone. I am a loyal and faithful RINO who never causes offence, goes along to get along and does what he is told. The next guy might not be so compliant.

That's the strategy that works.

Yup, that’s why all those barricades went up, all cops were ordered to wear uniforms, and Pelosi showed up in NYC

“ false expectations”

“Trump skillfully disrupted our plans. We are now scrambling to come up with a Plan B.”

A very crisp and concise description of what is going on, thank you my FRiend!

And that was what forced Bragg to call witnesses for the defense ? Something is not right.
