Fury at Manhattan’s Bragg over Looming Trump Charges Dominates House GOP Retreat: ‘Stop Going After People Because You Have Political Differences’
Breitbart ^ | 19 Mar 2023 Orlando, FL | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 03/19/2023 8:04:49 PM PDT by conservative98

ORLANDO, Florida — U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy lit into leftist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg at a press conference as House Republicans gathered to discuss and formulate their 2023 agenda plans, with looming likely charges from Bragg against former President Donald Trump coming this week.

Asked by Breitbart News during the press conference, as the House GOP wrapped the first day of its three-day retreat, what he would say to the 75 million Americans who voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election, McCarthy said his message is even broader than that.

“I wouldn’t just talk to 75 million Americans — I would talk to 330 million Americans,” McCarthy said. “I would say it doesn’t matter what side of the issue you’re on. It doesn’t matter if this was President Trump or if this was a Democrat. It should be equal justice in America. And stop going after people because you have political differences. I see people all the time who I have political differences with. I see people all the time who I have political differences with. I respect their opinion. I may disagree with it. But why would you ever try to use the law for it? It goes directly against everything this Manhattan DA has professed. He brags about lowering felonies to misdemeanors as a prosecutor. We’ve watched crime in New York where people are afraid to walk the streets. We’ve watched campaigns. I will tell you one of the reasons we won races in New York is based upon this DA, of not protecting the citizens of New York — and now he’s spending his time on this? The statute of limitations are gone. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on. This is the type of thing America hates and divides us and is wrong.”

there is fury around the world too.

if RINOS hadn’t gone along with Mueller, Jan 6, and more, these frivolous, but vicious attacks on a popular and successful President might have ended years ago.

pure evil from everyone in the swamp.

Christina Pushaw is Ron’s de facto handler- a Soros acolyte embedded knee deep in foreign ethno-religious conflicts in the Ukraine and Georgia. His whole coterie of alt-right influencers, from Cernovich to the despicable John Cardillo and even less despicable figures such as Matt Walsh and Rufio- they fight fake, half hearted publcity-driven culture wars to gain easy wins while claiming to fight for the people. The low character of Ron DeSantis has been revealed with his stealth campaign for President, a campaign which depends on sabotaging and undermining President Trump. Many, myself included, would never vote for this hollow man. Fortunately, he will never be President- he has revealed his low character and lack of integrity- akin to a Democrat but without the honesty to declare his politics.

But then how could the Dems run their banana republic? Conservatives have no rights.

After they get done with Trump is will be the famous “but then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up for me.”

Bragg’s got a NY state charge, not federal (feds dropped it), so if DjT doesn’t surrender or enter NY , DeSantis would need to OK extradition, correct ?

I’ve not heard a satisfactory answer to this situation.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" (also expressed as "troublesome priest" or "meddlesome priest") is a quote attributed to Henry II, King of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170.

What would King Henry have said if he had a rotten DA coming after him?

Does Congress still have the “slush fund” available for payoffs when a member of Congress has a trouble like Trump had? It was nothing more than a sleazy lawyer trying to get money by making charges right before an election that would never go through the courts in time to show charges were bogus. Its done all the time and thats why Congress has their own funds to cover the cost.

“Stormy Daniels Denies Affair With Donald Trump: ‘It Never Happened’ –“Porn star Stormy Daniels, who has recently made headlines with reports that she had an affair with Donald Trump before he became president, has issued a statement denying that the affair took place.

“In the statement, the authenticity of which has been verified with a representative of Daniels, states, “Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago.”

The statement continues, “The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence on 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. I am not denying this affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.” Daniels statement below is authentic.

I think it’s a weak milquetoastie response. Pubs always pull their punches.

“ Bragg’s got a NY state charge…”
************************************

He doesn’t even have that.

This is all much ado about nothing, IMHO. People are being HYSTERICAL about a NONEXISTENT indictment, NONEXISTENT charges and NONEXISTENT extradition attempts. Soros’ operative (Manhattan DA) Alvin Bragg is clearly shooting blanks with his possibly non-cooperating grand jury.

I made YET ANOTHER attempt using Duck-Duck-Go to find an actually existing indictment, charge or extradition activity and still find NOTHING. So folks are working themselves into a frenzy over NOTHING.

Yes, Trump in the past would have brushed this off as a nothinburger and dealt with it with ease. He’s changed.

Lots of DeSantis hate out there because of the lack of comments. I figure he is simply waiting until something actually happens.

But the “reverse” according to this may be true: don’t prosecute the #BidenCrimeClan or the real culprits, the #JihadJunta… Just saying…

Why are you taking a shot at DeSantis? This has nothing to do with him.
