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.

‘Trump’s fault’ once again smh.
What is the intention/purpose of him organizing a grand jury? Should someone ask Braggs that? It’s certainly not something a Trump hating prosecutor would do for the heck of it.

..... Trump proactively Short Circuited the Swamp's plan and pre-emptively spilled the beans to the media by using a Proactive strategy ... Instead of using the usual loser GOP strategy of being Reactive ..... This is something the Republican't Party absolutely needs to learn if they want to actually survive this new world in upheaval ....

Bragg is actually correct on this one point, which isn’t trivial.

Just because Bragg is a dirtbag, in all other respects, doesn’t give Trump the right to mislead us, or call for potential riots unnecessarily on random days.

If you can’t see this basic point, your love for Trump exceeds your love for the truth. That is your prerogative, but be truthful about that as well. And don’t attack me just because I want anyone I support to be truthful.

The noon news across the various alphabet networks was rather interesting today. Looks like the Trump Arrest Watch is over, they pivoted straight to the TikTok ban talk as the lead story. Saw "protestors" with professionally printer signs 'save TikTok' and such on them - couldn't read the fine text at bottom saying what organization was involved, but no doubt some demcommie astroturf group. Mention of the NY DA/Grand Jury was several segments down, a short mention lasting a few seconds noting that they have moved on to "other cases".

You invite attacks by coming on this board with your constant crap about Trump then have the peanut sized stones to say you can’t ridiculed. Well, I just did. Your move.

Bragg is obviously wrong in what he is doing, but that doesn’t give Trump a blank check to do wrong as well. He shouldn’t be making up dates he will be arrested, or claiming they’ve even decided to indict him when they haven’t even voted yet. If you think that making up things is OK so long as it helps Trump, then you put Trump’s sake above the truth. I don’t. That’s all.

He didn’t say which Tuesday. There is still a good chance he was right, unless Bragg moves it to another day just to prove him wrong.

You just can't bring yourself to comment on any thread where Trump is mentioned with making crap up out of whole cloth. You just got ridiculed again. Your move.

Ridicule obviously doesn’t bother me, because I’m a man of principles, and morals, which are often ridiculed. It didn’t use to happen here, as this site originally rose to prominence combatting Bill Clinton and his horrible morals, but that has changed now with Trump. Seems anything goes, so long as it somehow supports the man.

When the Deep State confronts a “Reality TV personality” who knows how to manipulate the media for his purposes during crisis moments, they find themselves out matched.

Trump’s false expectations regarding arrest are in essence looking Fat Alvin in the face and saying, “make my day.” Now Fat Alvin has blinked and seen in his mind how this could have been a platform for Trump to run against the Deep State, he is trying to figure out a way to defuse the situation into something that the Democrats can still use for campaign commercials and yet not become something that Trump can use for campaign commercials.

Yes, let the back peddling begin.

such a move was an “unprecendent[ed] inquiry into a pending local prosecution.”...

one unprecedented move deserves another unprecedented move with more oomph.
