On Monday night, it was leaked that Donald Trump will be charged with 34 felony counts for allegedly falsifying business records. ***Trump quickly called out District Attorney Alvin Bragg for illegally leaking the details of the indictment.
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me,” Trump wrote in a post shared on Truth Social. “I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF.”
Bragg certainly won’t indict himself, but, as Tucker Carlson noted, leaking details from Trump’s sealed indictment is bigger than the crimes for which Trump has been indicted.
After pointing out that Bragg “stitched together a Frankenstein legal theory to justify” his prosecution of Trump after the statute of limitations had passed, the leak of Donald Trump’s grand jury indictment to the media “in itself is a crime under the law in New York, in fact, a much bigger crime than those under which Donald Trump is being charged.”
The act of leaking grand jury testimony is considered a Class E felony under New York state law. *** [I]f Bragg is responsible for the leak, he could face as long as five years in prison.
In an op-ed for the New York Sun on Friday, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz wrote, “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.” ***

However, this is all a thought exercise as Bragg is a member of the protected equity class.
*As usual, Tucker Carlson made yet another specious claim, this timethat unlawful grand jury disclosure is “a much bigger crime than those under which Donald Trump is being charged.
The 34 acts that Trump allegedly committed are Class E felonies and carry the same penalties as unlawful grand jury disclosure.
If he is placed under citizens arrest and resists then he may never go to prison.
How about denial of civil rights by malicious prosecution?
He should be charged in Florida, as he has deprived a Florida citizen of his freedom for no reason.
There’s no way that Bragg or any of his staff will go to jail. However, they need to be made an example of what’s wrong with the people America’s justice system. So pound away.
He should be in a small cage and poked with sticks and forced to eat the rats of NYC
If Bragg went to prison, I would die suddenly from ruptured spleen caused by uncontrollable hysterical laughter, but I would probably have better odds if I were to bet that I will win the lottery and get struck by lightening while taking a perfectly clear picture of bigfoot standing in front of a flying saucer all on the same day
Who would prosecute Bragg? Not Garland or anyone in New York.
The best understanding of this situation involves a distinction between the legal and the political.
The law tells us he will go to prison.
Politics tells us he won’t.
Which one do you think is more solid?
Remember, the person who would bring such an indictment is none other than “Tish” James. Forget about it.
Is Disbarment of the DA a possibility?
Bragg. Democrat. No problem here.
Sad, but true. Bragg *should* go to prison, but our justice system is too corrupted by Democrats. Let’s hope we can fix that.
Trump is being indicted in Manhattan as we speak over Trumped-up charges. (Pun intended.)
You tell me which one is more solid?
There it is.
Possible but not likely as Bragg's law license is from New York. Remember that Rudy Giulianni was suspended from the practice of law in New York for making “demonstrably false and misleading statements” about the 2020 election. There is no justice to be had for conservative Republicans in NY.
Bragg is sure to get a $20 million book deal and very possibly could be in the Senate before long.
“There’s no way that Bragg or any of his staff will go to jail.”

Nor will he ever appear before congress.
The GOP doesn’t have the political will to subpoena him.
They are all a bunch of transgenders with front surgeries.
