A Gross Miscarriage of Justice in a Manhattan Courtroom
Front Page Magazine ^ | by Joseph Klein | June 3, 2024

When the main casualty is the rule of law itself.

On May 30th, a Manhattan jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of thirty-four jerry-rigged felony charges brought against Mr. Trump by the progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The fix was in, and the main casualty was the rule of law itself.

District Attorney Bragg abused his prosecutorial powers by targeting Mr. Trump personally, as he had promised to do when he ran for office, and then coming up with concocted felony offenses to charge him with. The Trump-hating district attorney magically alchemized a statute of limitations-barred misdemeanor of falsifying business records into a felony violation of a state law that prohibits conspiring to win an election by “unlawful means.”

DA Bragg accused the former president and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee of allegedly conspiring to falsify business records to hide a hush money payment aimed at keeping news of a potentially embarrassing sex scandal from the voters. The jury bought this flimflam of a case against Mr. Trump with the help of a biased judge whose daughter’s firm was reportedly leveraging this same case to assist Democrats in their fundraising.

DA Bragg fabricated a byzantine legal theory especially for the purpose of ensnaring Mr. Trump. The progressive prosecutor chose to revive a time-barred misdemeanor by upgrading it to a felony involving alleged interference with a federal election, even though the public was in no way endangered by the alleged falsification of business records.

Contrast Mr. Bragg’s targeting of Mr. Trump with how he has dealt with the wave of violent crimes surging in Manhattan. Mr. Bragg has often taken the side of the accused criminals. His office has chosen to downgrade many of the most serious offenses occurring on its watch from felonies to misdemeanors.

Alan Bragg needs to become a victim of a crime he fails to prosecute in his own city. He needs to feel first hand how others have been brutality mistreated by his failed miscarriage of justice.

“DA Bragg fabricated”

Bragg couldn’t fabricate a ham sandwich.

This was the Obama crime gang - Weissman, Monaco, Steinglass and who knows who else - who strung this fantasy “crime” together.

Manhattan itself is a gross miscarriage of justice to all of its productive workers. It is, however, a heaven to 90% of its leftist voting population, which also appears to contain no productive workers. (Productive workers: Police, fire, utilities, garbage and sewer, plumbers...you know, the folks who actually produce value each day for the rest of us).

Time for Texas to rub out some “statutes of limitation” and extend the time to bring Hillary up on charges and put her on trial in Midland County, Texas or perhaps Amarillo.

Next up should be Obama, then Eric Holder, Pelosi, Schiff, Maxine Waters, Schumer, Mayorkas, Chris Wray and many more.

Each Red State AG could take on one case. Spread the fun.

The best part is that the payments (and alleged crime) occurred in 2017, AFTER the election he was allegedly trying to interfere with. What?!

This was the Obama crime gang....

Not to put too fine a point on it, but destruction of rule of law in American is a prime objective of the GRU. Via the southern end of the Russia-Islam axis, Iran and from there to Valerie J., et.al.

They should start by indicting every person who signed the Hunter Laptop Russian Disinformation letter. There has to be some state election law that they could have conceivably violated.

I suspect some of the jurors were bullied by a majority.

They made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
