Could Trump Prosecutor Alvin Bragg Go to Prison? It's Possible
PJ Media ^ | 04/04/2023 | Matt Margolis

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.” ***

Deprivation of rights under color of law.

Since indictments no longer have to have a connection to any actual crime, this might be the perfect indictment from a red state that is willing to play by the same rules New York is playing by. So what if the crime occurred in another state? Those things apparently don’t seem to matter any more.

The US National Debt is retired.

Grassy Knoll assassin of John F. Kennedy comes forward and admits all.

Defense lawyers all go onto their knees, weeping and admit they have sinned by deliberately lying to let guilty criminals go to find more innocent victims after getting off on technicalities.
