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.

My position still stands.

If not this indictment, there will be another. Not to mention the DOJ pledge to throw 1k+ more into the J6 dungeon.

There is now a window of opportunity for mobilization.

Will we see a cornfield and a “Louisville Slugger” in the DA’s future? Dems get pissed, when they don’t get what they paid for!

No, numb-nuts. He told you to put up or shut up.

Played you like a fiddle.

Wonder how much Trump can sue the state of New York for.

Trump snookered me, said Bragg. I was supposed to snooker him, it ain’t fair I tell ya

[xzins]

Leaks from his own office.

[PghBaldy]

I agree.

[Karoo]

Trump is so good at this type of stuff. Remember when he invited the media to attend meeting with Pelosi and Schummer? The two were shocked when they saw media in Oval office.

I love it

[EODGUY]

President Trump...the consummate 4 D chess master.

[OrioleFan]

Regardless, Alvin! Bragg has shown everyone he is a partisan hack and buffoon.

I would love to see Jim Jordan take Bragg apart, like Josh Hawley took apart Merrick Garland in the DOJ war on Catholics.

[Prolixus]

So, Bragg is saying there is no grand jury targeting Trump?

[hardspunned]

I can’t help but think Trump was actually playing, for once, 4D chess. There was one possible response from conservatives to the possible indictment. Was RdS trolled into blowing both feet off? Trump’s incommunicado is no more. Smacks of 2016 classic Trump. Go for it, Mr. President. He will soon be back on Twitter.

[mware]

I guess it’s not a ham sandwich.

[Preachin']

Trump played it well. It was a win/win situation. If he gets arrested it plays for him in popularity. If he doesn’t, it makes the prosecution look weak.

[chopperk]

Sounds like Bragg is trying to reverse his accusations to save face and put the emphisis on Trump. Trump should let Bragg dig his own hole to bury himself

[silent_jonny]

LOL. What embarrassing BS.

[Candor7]

Once again Trump wiggles just his left foot small toe in a troll and sends them all skidding to an ass skid halt.

Bragg is 100% pure clown,in a kangaroo court Tammany Hall justice system.

BUahgahahahgahahahaha! Soros weeps.

Clinton became more popular here in the rural South after Republicans impeached him...

Even “good old boy” locals were displeased

Sometimes, when folks see the government trying to use smears to go after their enemies it backfires.
