Prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office offered new transparency not only to the public, but seemingly also Trump’s defense attorneys on Tuesday when, one year after indicting the former president, they finally pulled back the curtain to reveal the motivating crime in their case: a violation of state election law. Former federal prosecutors told the Daily Caller News Foundation Bragg’s lack of clarity is unfair to the defense, who can’t prepare to argue against a charge they don’t know, and unlike what they’ve seen before.
...
“First, that Alvin Bragg’s office did not provide advanced notice of the precise allegations in order to enable former President Trump’s legal team to prepare an adequate defense,” he said. “Second, that the statutory code section cited by the lead prosecutor (New York Penal Code Section 17-152) prohibits a conspiracy ‘to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means …,’ but Bragg has still not divulged what those ‘unlawful means’ were.”
“And third, and most shockingly, that penal code section is a misdemeanor, which means that Alvin Bragg is claiming that committing a misdemeanor (making a false business entry) in order to conceal the commission of another misdemeanor (conspiring to promote someone’s candidacy in an unlawful manner) can – like magic – be converted into 34 felony offenses,” he continued.
Fahey told the DCNF that everything about the case “stinks to high heaven.”
“If this was anyone other than Donald Trump, this would be laughed out of court,”

You can be sure Trump’s lawyers will make that motion if they’re at all competent.
It will of course be denied.
They call Trump a fascist and a dictator. Clearly they are projecting their won need for power and control onto him and his supporters. This needs to be pointed out at all costs.
I’m still amazed this fraud has gotten as far as it has. the Judge and the Bragg should have both been locked up for FRAUD already, why isn’t a Grand Jury in Florida INDICTING the both of them for Deprivation Of Rights under the color of Law?
He’s just a rampaging water buffalo trying to get his way and run the joint.

Arrest the judge for Fraud with Criminal Intent and Presence of Malice.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a campaign and an important Constitutional issue.
I wouldn’t want him working any government job. This whole thing should be thrown out of court.

Violating a NY State election law does not make a federal felony. Why don’t Trump’s attorneys move for a mistrial?

Alvin and the chipmunks
Jonathan Turley had interesting comments on this case and the Supreme Court immunity case (being heard today) this morning on "Fox and Friends." His analysis seems self-evident, but Brian Kilmeade pointed out that on other networks you have lawyers arguing the opposite. (Good of Brian to watch the other networks so none of us need to.)
We will probably learn sooner or later that this is all being directed from the White House and/or the DOJ.
Hah......cute.
Ghetto-nurtured Bragg, which AA contrived to turn into a non-performing DA, is claiming that:
<><>anyone committing a misdemeanor
<><>(supposedly making a “false business entry”)
<><>in order to conceal the commission of another misdemeanor
<><>(braindead Bragg dreamed this up as promoting one’s candidacy in an unlawful manner).......
<><>but just like magic – Bragg waves his magic wand,
<><>and converts the misdemeanors into 34 felony offenses.
“why isn’t a Grand Jury in Florida INDICTING the both of them for Deprivation Of Rights under the color of Law?”
Good question. States should be using their anti-klan laws to indict them as terrorists.
Bragg’s lack of clarity
If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bullshit.
