Alvin Bragg's Office Accused of Leaking Trump's Potential Sentence — Likely to Recommend a Year Behind Bars for Trump at Rikers Island (VIDEO)
https://gnews.org/m/2633876 ^ | June 5, 2024

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is backed by Soros, is now under fire for allegedly leaking sensitive sentencing information about former President Donald Trump to the far-left media.

In the wake of a trial widely criticized as a sham, where Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges in a ‘hush money’ scandal, sources suggest that DA Bragg’s office may recommend Trump serve a year at the notorious Rikers Island.

Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime—a practice unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that something bad happened.

..... Snip.....

According to Hostin, this recommendation serves not just as punishment but as a stern message to society that such conduct will not be tolerated again.

“The other thing I’d like to say is the other reason that they will do this is because he has shown an utter disregard for our institutions. And prosecutors, when you are recommending a sentence, you are not just recommending a sentence so that they can be rehabilitated or so that they can be punished. You’re sending a message to the community that this is not going to happen again. This is not okay. ”

“The other thing I want to say is that there’s another thing that they will likely recommend is a six-month split, six months at Rikers, and then the rest, five years—four and a half years of probation that is under New York law,” Hostin said.

When the point of illegal overreach gets to it’s tipping point (which probably already happened) the pendulum swing will be like a catapult.

I’m guessing that Trump will be incarcerated for least 6 months followed by a long period of supervised release.

Exactly. Lara Logan was on InfoWars last night and talked about this. She has her head on straight.

>> they may take it up based just on the fact that merchan and ilk have violated his 1’st amendment right

“Righteously and justly”, yes! Heck, “righteously and justly” they should order Trump ruled not guilty and have Merchan and Bragg drawn and quartered along with the jury, and their heads displayed on pikes.

But technically, you want your USSC justices to enter this matter (or any matter) with no preconceived notions. So (technically) their decision to stay the jail time and hear the case would be based only on President Trump’s writ vs. Alvin Bragg’s response, and their view regarding whether President Trump would likely prevail on the merits.

DISCLAIMERS: IMHO, IANAL

BTW if Merchan goes along with this, the amount of backlash will be Biblical in its enormity. They will GUARENTEE a Trump win NO MATTER WHO THEY SWAP IN FOR TRUMP, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY CHEAT.

If he ends up at Riker’s there’s no way he makes it a week. Secret Service or not. Epstein showed the way. All cameras and radios will mysteriously be off, all agents mysteriously leaving the posts, confusion, and then ‘well lookee here, Trump’s no longer with us. How could this happen? Oh well, never mind that people, he did it himself.’

Yes, they didn’t go this far not to jail him.

Its no secret to anyone on FR that I think most of this stuff especially the court cases are pantomime. But I didn’t think Trump would agree to go to jail. I guess he has. It will certainly set a lot of things in motion and open a couple of pathways to postponing the election which I fully expect to happen. One thing for sure its going to get kray kray.

Do you have ANY idea of the backlash that such a Soviet move would engender?

He raised 100m in 4 days after his conviction. I'd suspect 500m in four days after such an action.

I'd also suspect that his reelection would be guarenteed, no matter HOW much the Democrats try to cheat.
