This is a really good article quoting a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission as to the legal authority of Alvin Bragg to prosecute Trump on federal campaign finance issues.

From the article:

“It’s perfectly legitimate to pay a settlement,” he noted. “It’s perfectly legitimate to have a nondisclosure agreement. And Bragg’s multiplying that into 34 accounts, that in itself shows a lack of credibility. When prosecutors take a single incident, or two incidents and turn it into three dozen supposed violations of the law, that’s a sure sign that the prosecutor doesn’t have a case and is trying to overwhelm the jury.”

that are not within his jurisdiction.

So why is this not before a judge to have it outright dismissed?

Why is this clown show continuing?

Bragg’s a Democrat. He wouldn’t let the law stand in his way. Be wary of the judge.

All this is pure speculation because Bragg never charged any crime.

What was the underlying crime here?

Bragg did not say the crime was an attempt to evade federal election law.

That is what all these pundits and morons say.

Bragg says he does not need to reveal the alleged crime.

But for our side to be so hyper-focused on the alleged crime being federal election law blinds us to other avenues these fascists may take instead.

The real crime is being Donald Trump, and if not this pretext they will find something else.

A person is innocent until proven guilty of the federal crime. So by definition no crime is being covered up. My guess is Bragg is still looking for a crime.

So we have Dershowitz...Turley...and now this guy. But Bragg will still get his $20 million book deal.
