Jonathan Turley: “ALVIN BRAGG HAS HIS TRUMP TRIAL, ALL HE NEEDS NOW IS A CRIME: For many of us in the legal community, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump borders on the legally obscene: an openly political prosecution based on a theory even legal pundits dismiss…Of course, neither Bragg nor his office has ever seen this type of criminal case in any other defendant. Ever. We’ve never seen a case like this one where a dead misdemeanor from 2016 could be revived as a felony just before the 2024 election.”

Jonathan Turley: “ON ALVIN BRAGG AND THE ART OF NOT TAKING THE LAW TOO SERIOUSLY…Bragg is vague as to what should have been noted on the ledgers for the payments. It is not even clear if Trump knew of this expense’s designation as a legal cost. However, it really did not matter, because the misdemeanor has been as dead as Dillinger for years…For months, Bragg has suggested that the ‘other crime’ was the violation of federal election laws, suggesting that the payment was really a campaign contribution Trump made to himself that was not properly recorded. The problem is that the Justice Department investigated that crime already and decided that it was not a viable criminal claim. It did not even seek a civil fine.”

Rich Lowry: “REMEMBER WHEN BILL CLINTON STOLE THE 1992 ELECTION? The Arkansas governor’s political operation was, in part, an elaborate conspiracy to keep women who alleged to have had affairs with Clinton quiet. Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple — dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today — comprises election thieves…State troopers were involved in procuring women for Clinton and had been pressured prior to the 1992 campaign not to talk. A Clinton loyalist named Buddy Young told one of the troopers during the campaign, ‘If you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep your mouth shut’… Now, if we take Alvin Bragg seriously, stealing the 1992 election has to be added to the list.”
