The Democrat party’s determination to burn down the whole edifice of the rule of American law, so they can rule out of the ashes, is growing more dangerously desperate by the day. The threat of the unelected global elite grows more and more obvious.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is George Soros’ catspaw. Bragg is just one of hundreds of American DAs whose elections were paid for by Soros organisations. Bragg’s sole platform was indicting former president Donald Trump. It didn’t matter on what, the only point was to arrest the former president for something.
It cannot be overstated what a dangerous turn this is, in American politics. The law has been weaponised for explicitly political purposes. There is nothing, now that this Rubicon has been crossed, to stop whatever party is in power from arresting its political opponents.
The United States of America has become a banana-republic dictatorship.
It’s so obvious that even mainstream left-leaning media are admitting it. Vox published a long piece explaining “the glaring legal problem” Bragg’s indictment. It later altered the headline to acknowledge the “dubious legal theory” behind Bragg’s persecution of the ex-president — and the likelihood that it will fail.
Meaning that Democrats have trashed American legal and political institutions for nothing.
Even CNN is forced to admit that the indictment itself is hopelessly biased.
Elie Honig, a CNN legal analyst, former federal prosecutor [says…] The old adage, meant to expose the one-sided grand jury portion of the judicial process, is that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.” It’s just that easy…
Close to every time a prosecutor seeks an indictment from a grand jury, he or she will get an indictment from the grand jury.

So, Bragg got an indictment simply because he wanted one. No evidence has been tested. The defendant has had no chance to present a defence. This is little more than an Auto-da-fe.
And even Vox admits that it’s nonsense.
It is unclear that the felony statute that Trump is accused of violating actually applies to him.
Essentially, Trump is accused of paying a porn star to go away. That’s not illegal.
The actual felony counts arise out of allegedly false entries that Trump made in various business records in order to make the payment to Daniels appear to be ordinary legal expenses paid to Michael Cohen.
But Bragg built his case on an exceedingly uncertain legal theory. Even if Trump did the things he’s accused of, it’s not clear Bragg can legally charge Trump for them, at least under the felony version of New York’s false records law […]
The felony statute requires Bragg to prove that Trump falsified records to cover up a crime. Bragg has evidence that Trump acted to cover up a federal crime, but it is not clear that Bragg is allowed to point to a federal crime in order to charge Trump under the New York state law.
Even then, if it goes to the Supreme Court, any conviction will be treated with the contempt it deserves and summarily dismissed.
Bragg, in other words, has built one of the most controversial and high-profile criminal cases in American history upon the most uncertain of foundations. And that foundation could crumble into dust if the courts reject his legal arguments on a genuinely ambiguous question of law.
As Vox reiterates, Trump is not being charged for paying the porn star to go away. Because that’s not illegal. Indeed, making accusations and collecting go-away money has been the major source of income for race activists for decades (described as “How to legally rob a bank”). Neither is Trump charged with campaign finance violations because there’s no evidence of that.
In a vague statement made after Trump’s arraignment, Bragg claims the concealed records scheme “violated New York election law, which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means.” But this legal theory is not mentioned at all in the indictment or the accompanying statement of facts […]
There’s also one more twist here. The statute of limitations for the felony version of the false records crime is five years, while the statute of limitations for the misdemeanor version is only two years. Trump’s final payment to Cohen occurred in December 2017, which was more than five years ago.

Bragg’s case against Trump is a farce. It would be laughable, if not for the fact that, despite it legal vacuousness, Bragg’s witch-hunt is having precisely the only effect it was ever clearly intended to: tearing the country apart and reducing the law to a campaign tool for the party in power.
