The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else...
It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else.
We know that the information was disclosed while the indictment itself remains sealed and before any official announcement was made or charges brought. It is unlikely that the leak came from the Trump team, which seemed genuinely surprised.
The most likely, though uncertain, scenario is that a person in Mr. Bragg’s office or a grand juror unlawfully leaked the sealed information. That would be a class E felony, subject to imprisonment.
It is possible of course that an investigation is underway, but it seems more likely that Mr. Bragg is too busy making up a crime against the man he promised in his campaign to get than investigating a real crime that took place on his watch.

Here is Prof. Dershowitz’s analysis:
Under Mr. Bragg’s likely theory, Mr. Trump should have disclosed in his public corporate records that he paid the hush money to avoid his adulterous affair from becoming public. But no one in history has ever publicly disclosed the reason he paid money for a non-disclosure agreement.
Why would Mr. Trump pay the money in the first place if he had to publicly disclose the embarrassing reason? Furthermore, no one in history has ever been indicted for listing “legal expenses” for setting a potentially embarrassing payment of hush money.
Thus, even the misdemeanor allegation involving false entries is unprecedented and represents selective prosecution. It is also almost certainly barred by the two-year statute of limitations. In order to elevate this bookkeeping case into a felony, Mr. Bragg must also prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the reason Trump made the false entry — if he himself did it — was solely as a campaign contribution to help him win his election.
If Mr. Trump was motivated in part by his desire to protect his wife, children, and business interests from harmful disclosures, that would not constitute the crime of making an undisclosed campaign contribution. So this too is a stretch.
It is a fundamental tenet of American law that criminal law should not be stretched to fit targeted defendants. Criminal statutes must be clear and unambiguous. If there is any doubt, the age-old concept of “lenity” requires that these doubts be resolved in favor of the defendant.
What else is new? Last time I checked leaks from the Supreme Court were a crime too, but what kind of a crime is it when nobody ever gets named or punished?
The FBI is looking into it.
It’ll only take another decade or so.
This “leak of the decision to indict” is what lawyers call “a chickensh!t case”. Any Judge will just wave it off. Now...if the charges themselves were leaked, that would be different, and as we know there are 34 of them. Does anyone in the media know what they are?? I didnt think so. I hope someone turns out to give it up. That would be juuust groovy...and THEN a case would exist.
Is it still a felony if it’s never prosecuted?
.
You have to ask that question.
Some DAs will prosecute only the bare minimum cases.
Just be sure John Dunham has nothing to do with it. He’s a Slow Walker of certain cases.
I wish Dershowitz would file a lawsuit against Bragg.
He would nail him to the wall.
HELLO! And whom would prosecute? Andy!
The SCOTUS Roe draft leak gave the Dems time to whip up mobs and to draft proposals and gather signatures for ballots in time for the November election where MI and CA and others solidified harsh pro-abortion measures.
In MI you cannot sue to overturn it as it is now part of the actual Constitution.
Now leaks against Trump could destroy him before the trials even begin.
Dirty work.
That political cartoonist did a good job of doing Bragg. Beady little pupils and a beard and body look like a 1950s-1960s string bass player in a jazz group.
And the reporter looks like she came from a town where there was a beauty contest where nobody won.
Kidding aside, the great virtuoso bass man Charles Mingus, RIP. Put a lot of honest feeling into his art. Sadly died of ALS in 1979.
Nah leaks make him stronger and it appears the people trying to charge him have no case.
Frances, my pet Sonoran Desert Tortoise, moves faster than John Dunham.
Alvin is not going to investigate himself.
Durham.
When will the dirty dem crimes be dealt with..
Pass..pass..pass..Trump..
Pass..pass..
FED UP!!!!
