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.”

Andrew McCarthy: “HOW JUDGE MERCHAN IS ORCHESTRATING TRUMP’S CONVICTION…Bragg, a county district attorney responsible for enforcing state law, has no authority to prosecute federal crimes, much less crimes under FECA — a corpus so abstruse that Congress created a specialized bureaucracy, the Federal Election Commission, to ensure its uniform application, vesting the FEC and the Justice Department with exclusive enforcement jurisdiction…Yet, Judge Merchan has swallowed whole Bragg’s theory that he can enforce FECA.”

Andrew McCarthy: “BIDEN’S COLLUSION IN THE ANTI-TRUMP LAWFARE GAMBIT: The president is thoroughly complicit in the prosecutions of his opponent, which he hopes to ride to a second term in the Oval Office…Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign actually did violate the campaign-finance laws by misdescribing its disbursements in concocting the Russiagate smear (e.g., the production of the Steele dossier) as legal expenses rather than opposition research. Consequently, the FEC fined Clinton’s campaign. Now, let’s say a district attorney in some deep-red county in Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma theorized that Hillary had schemed to steal the 2016 election, and that the shady description of the Russiagate expenditures in her campaign’s ledgers amounted to falsification of business records under the laws of that DA’s state…”
Page 2: “Let’s say that ambitious Republican DA, in order to court the affections of MAGA populists or Clinton-loathing conservatives, had gotten a grand jury to indict Hillary on the Bragg theory — namely, falsification of records to conceal a violation of federal campaign law. Ask yourself this question: In those circumstances, do you think there’s a scintilla of a chance that the Biden Justice Department, with its exclusive jurisdiction over criminal enforcement of federal campaign law in the United States, would sit idly by while a red-state prosecutor, with no federal authority, indicted a Democratic icon? Or do you figure that they would instantly bury the state and federal courts in voluminous legal briefs to get the case shut down as a lawless abuse of power? Would the media–Democrat complex be cheering the prosecutor, or ripping him as a reckless hack who was making up his own version of federal campaign law in order to persecute a partisan rival?”…
Page 3: “Yet, when it comes to the trial in Manhattan, the Biden Justice Department is sitting on its hands and ignoring the district attorney’s usurpation of federal authority. There’s one reason and one reason alone for that: Bragg indicted Donald Trump. In the end, maybe this will all backfire on Democrats. But regardless of how it is being executed, never forget what the lawfare campaign is designed to do: Joe Biden hopes to ride these prosecutions of his opponent to a second term in the Oval Office.”

Andrew McCarthy: “HILLARY CLINTON, RECIDIVIST ELECTION-THEFT CONSPIRATOR…Regarding 1992, the Clinton campaign used a law firm as the intermediary for tens of thousands of dollars in payments to a private investigator (Jack Palladino) whose task was to obtain the silence of women who claimed to have had affairs with Bill Clinton…it turns out that this 1992 tactic — booking as legal fees what might euphemistically be called ‘research’ — was the blueprint for the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, in cahoots with the Democratic National Committee. They paid their law firm, Perkins Coie, which retained the research firm Fusion GPS and its contractor, former British spy Christopher Steele, to generate the farcical Steele dossier that was shared with the FBI, the State Department, and the media to smear Trump as a clandestine agent of the Kremlin…
Page 2: “In the Clinton campaign and DNC filings with the FEC, the payments were disguised as ‘legal services’ and ‘legal compliance and consulting,’ rather than research…How cynically amusing, then, for Bragg to rationalize that Trump had to be charged because the 2016 election race was so tight that any deceptive scheme could have affected the outcome. It goes without saying that Bragg has not lifted a finger to prosecute Hillary.”

SOMEONE has to do something about the cheating. I feel like everything that’s done is fairly cracking the surface. But good for Elon in doing what he can. $$ always helps loosen people’s tongues
Well, if nothing else, it might make the crooked dems at least a little bit nervous, knowing they’re telling people to cheat but could get turned in for a bit of cash. It may help deter.
On a happy note, I saw my first hummingbird at the feeder today!

Probably because they ran out of money, or illness, or just plain old age!
Anyone of those things probably happened.
but most probably the money ran out.
