I suppose this could be your Friday rhetorical question, as we all know a fish rots from the head, and the head of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is none other than the rotten-to-the-core Alvin Bragg. The same Alvin Bragg who prosecuted Donald Trump for falsifying business records. The same Alvin Bragg whose office unsuccessfully prosecuted subway hero Daniel Penny for manslaughter when he subdued a drug-crazed, psychotic vagrant threatening fellow passengers. The same Alvin Bragg and his crew of progressive malcontents who have been declining to prosecute any of the rampaging terrorist supporters shrieking, chanting, vandalizing, and threatening Jewish...

In an 82-page court filing made public Tuesday, Manhattan prosecutors say Donald Trump's "history of malicious conduct" is too serious for his hush-money case to be dismissed. The filing, signed by DA Alvin Bragg, also fights Trump's claim that he enjoys something called presidential-elect immunity — above and beyond the presidential immunity bestowed on him by the US Supreme Court in June. "There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to inauguration," Bragg wrote in opposing Trump's 11th-hour motion to dismiss, "because President-elect immunity does not exist." With just six weeks left before his January 20 inauguration — and...

The far-right is rejoicing at Daniel Penny being found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the May 2023 New York City subway strangling death of Jordan Neely. Penny, who is white, put Neely, a Black man, in a chokehold for six minutes while other train passengers captured the incident on film. Penny’s lawyers argued that he believed Neely was a volatile, mentally ill man who posed a threat to the public. Neely was unarmed and had a muffin in his pocket, but Penny quickly became a hero to the right wing. Right-wing figures, including one Donald Trump staffer, immediately...

It was a dramatic day in New York City on Friday as the jury in the Daniel Penny case came back deadlocked multiple times. While that would normally lead to a mistrial and Penny going free, the judge in the case decided to set what appears to be a new precedent, and it's rightfully leading to outrage. As RedState reported, at the prosecution's request, count one (second-degree manslaughter) was dismissed, with the judge ordering the jury to be sent back to deliberate on count two (negligent homicide). ... Yes, that is a judge saying he will "take a chance" with...

Whatever Trump did after the 2016 presidential election, it seems safe to say that it did not retroactively promote his victory.Last January, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summed up his case against Donald Trump this way: "We allege falsification of business records to the end of keeping information away from the electorate. It's an election interference case." That gloss made no sense, because the records at the center of the case—11 invoices, 11 checks, and 12 ledger entries that allegedly were aimed at disguising a hush-money reimbursement as payment for legal services—were produced after the 2016 presidential election. At that...

VIDEOWe all know that Michael Cohen is a liar. However, his TDS has gotten so extreme that he has gone JUST PLAIN NUTS as you can see here. The Biden White House are so desperate to GET TRUMP that they went to the laughable extreme of directing their chubby puppet Alvin Bragg to make Cohen their STAR WITNESS in their laughable case against Trump. It reminds me of the J6 Committee with all the evidence they supposedly had and their STAR WITNESS turned out to be Cassidy Hutchinson that not only provided only third hand hearsay "evidence" but later had...

The conduct of Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Dana Nessel and their ilk needs to be compared to the conduct of disgraced and disbarred Durham County, NC prosecuting attorney Mike Nifong. Nobody in conservative talk radio is making this comparison. They ought to start banging on this drum immediately. The decision of the NC Bar disciplinary commission can be found here. It makes for very interesting reading. https://www.ncbar.gov/orders/06dhc35.pdf

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's request for a restraining order against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was declined by a judge on Tuesday. The judge ordered Bragg to send the material to Jordan by 9 p.m. Wednesday so the court could have a hearing on the situation on April 19. Bragg requested the order in an attempt to block Jordan from interfering in the Stormy Daniels hush money case that former President Donald Trump was charged in last week. Jordan has subpoenaed an investigator previously involved in the case. The lawsuit was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tore into House Republicans' 'unprecedented campaign of harassment and intimidation' after Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan subpoenaed prosecutor Mark Pomerantz on Thursday. Pomerantz worked in Bragg's office and tried to persuade the DA he should prosecute Trump - but quit when Bragg rejected his legal theories. It's unclear if Pomerantz, who wrote a book about the need to prosecute Trump after quitting Bragg's office, will challenge the subpoena or comply.

Were the opposition to match tit-for-tat these Democratic means, then the republic would not survive. As we await the publication of all the impending indictments of former President Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Americans are trying to figure out what constitutes an indictable offense for current and retired public officials. Most legal experts, Left and Right, have noted: 1) Bragg promised in advance that he would try to find a way to indict Trump. His prior boasts are reminiscent of Stalin’s secret police enforcer Lavrentiy Beria’s quip, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is really making a name for himself on a national level, likely much to his eventual regret. After convincing a grand jury to bring preposterous charges against Donald Trump, Bragg had to find something to keep himself busy until Tuesday, and a New York garage attendant named Moussa Diarra offered him that opportunity. Diarra was working the overnight shift yesterday when he spotted Charles Rhodie rooting around the garage with a bag, apparently attempting to steal some of the tools and equipment in the garage. Diarra confronted Rhodie and demanded to inspect the bag. Instead...
