You have no idea how corrupt the NYC justice system is.

None whatsoever. Only what I see on TV programmes.

Alec Baldwin Manslaughter Charges Formally Dropped

Manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin over a fatal shooting on a movie set were formally dropped by prosecutors Friday.

www.breitbart.com

Something to contemplate. Baldwin "holds" the smoking gun in the accidentally death of a person, yet the charges are now (unjustifiably) dropped.
Trump makes what could be considered an accounting "mistake", yet Bragg goes after Trump with a vengeance, elevating the charges to a felony.
Seems to be an obvious demonstration of a two-tier justice system. The "favored" people get exonerated despite the implicating evidence while those who are "out-of-favor" get convicted despite any exonerating evidence.

Jonathan Turley: NY v Trump case is 'collapsing' under its own weight | Fox News Video

Legal panelists Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy and Katie Cherkasky provide analysis on former President Trump's New York criminal trial on 'Your World.'

www.foxnews.com

Too early to tell if this case is really collapsing under its own weight. Nevertheless, as has been pointed-out by many legal experts, this case is a political persecution, not a valid criminal indictment. Bragg is abusing his legal mandate to the point that he could be sued for malfeasance when this "show trial" has concluded.

The link below is behind a paywall. So I was not able to verify. Simply put, if the NY Times, which is anti-Trump, has an article validating that Bragg's actions are a "historic mistake", then that it is a clear indication that the Democratic party has finally gone to far in abusing the law to persecute political opponents. Virtually every case against Trump is a political hit job, probably orchestrated and coordinated by the Biden administration. Fortunately the 14th Amendment hit job finally imploded. This country is not supposed to be a Soviet style republic that persecutes opposition politicians.

Opinion | I Thought the Bragg Case Against Trump Was a Legal Embarrassment. Now I Think It’s a Historic Mistake.

It’s not the crime; it’s the cover-up. But it’s still a highly flawed case.

DA Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump is 'historic mistake': New York Times guest essay

DA Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump is a "historic mistake" and an "embarrassment of prosecutorial ethics," a law professor wrote in a New York Times guest essay.

www.foxnews.com

In a New York Times guest essay, Boston University law professor Jed Handelsman Shugerman argued Bragg was overreaching in his attempts to try a federal election crime under New York state law. He said the Manhattan's DA allegation against Trump was "vague" since the prosecution failed to specify "an election crime or a valid theory of fraud."

Mark Levin has had a couple of very informative segments concerning the misguided (unlawful) attempt by Jack Smith to claim that Trump does not have immunity. While these segments deal with the immunity question, they still apply to the Bragg case in that they are both partisan hit jobs to disable the Trump campaign.

The video below focuses on the "elimination" of rational rules by the Democrats where local prosecutors, such as Bragg to file criminal charges.

The narrative that the Biden administration has been orchestrating the unjustified criminal persecutions of Trump is emerging.

GOP lawmaker demands answers on former Biden official joining 'cesspool' team prosecuting Trump

Rep. Lance Gooden sent a letter to DA Alvin Bragg and DOJ regarding the hiring of a former Justice Department official on the hush money case against former President Donald Trump.

www.foxnews.com

"The Department of Justice under President Biden has proven to be a cesspool of partisanship, further evident by the hyper-politicized courts that have taken up President Trump’s criminal trials," Gooden's letter read. "DA Bragg’s decision to hire Mr. Colangelo, a former DOJ official with close ties to the White House and Attorney General Garland, is yet another example of the unconstitutional approach to President Trump’s trial."

The radical Democrats have no idea how sorry they are going to be if they succeed in breaking the Constitution. Their own people will rise up against them. Maybe that's why they feel the need to replace their existing voters with new ones who can't speak English so they are much easier to lie to.

My local Maricopa county ballots come in multiple languages already.

I make no apologies, nor would I ever feel the need to try to backtrack or hide from the following public statement:

We should not allow people to vote if they have not fulfilled the requirements for citizenship, including some efforts to assimilate, nor should we allow people who pay zero taxes to vote, since it's unfair to have the power to vote FOR more taxes if you pay NO taxes. NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!

Maddow does seem a bit like the prototypical bitter female-type. (and yes, there is a prototypical bitter-male type too, I'm just sayin' in her case).

If I emigrated to China, I would absolutely 100% expect people to expect me to make a serious, honest effort to learn the language. My accent would always be there and I may only reach basic conversational level, but at least that.

 

[Isaac]

If you are not fluent in the language, how can you possibly have enough information to cast a meaningful vote?

Not necessary Pat, all a voter needs to know is Biden was nice to their uncle or aunt or niece or nephew - and gave them stuff - starting with a nice ride from the Border Patrol to a waiting jet to their final destination, and a word-of-honor court date for a year later, all of which translated into their ticket for free into the United States of America! And it doesn't matter that illegals can't immediately vote. Eventually when they get amnesty they may be able to, and jurisdictions have already started the push to allow non citizens to vote in regional elections, plus it's not just about them - if my cousin Freddy was let in the country by Democrats and given a lot of free stuff, now I like to vote Democract, it all merges together.

Strange, too - if I was a black person I would be livid about this issue. Instead of all the attention being focused on me since the muerte of Floyd (qepd), it all has to be given to where to house and how to feed these zillions of migrants. It's only hurting them - like sooooo many other issues, starting with letting criminals back out on to the street, where they kill more people (usually blacks suffering).

One day when African Americans wake up to the way Democrats have them fooled, we may never see a Democrat win an election again.

The ultimate gift is a good society with strong families, present Dads, hard working people who make and realize their own opportunities.
It's NOT government handouts or more free federal or state "services" being paid for by an increasingly bitter taxpayer segment.

Judge Merchan Explodes at Trump Witness: 'Clear the Courtroom!'

Juan Merchan, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's business records trial, exploded at a witness on Monday.

www.breitbart.com

The article above neglects that the judge (Juan Merchan) was preventing Costello from explaining that the prosecution's case was flawed. The defense is entitled to assert that the law is being abused (lawfare) to falsely charge the defendant.

On "The Brian Kilmeade Show," Tuesday, Dershowitz called Merchan a "tyrant" after he threatened to strike the testimony of Bob Costello, the defense's main witness, an act that Dershowitz argued would have violated the Sixth Amendment.

You can skip the first six (6) minutes of Dershowitz's podcast below. The portion relevant to the judge denying Trump the ability to put on a defense begins at the fourteen (14) minute mark. Dershowitz remarks at the eighteen (18) minute mark that the Merchan can't simply strike the testimony of a defense witness because he doesn't like the way the defense attorney acted.

I spent yesterday in the Trump courtroom and the case looks even weaker now.

Go Trump! 58% of the country supports you, and growing every day. More and more people who voted for Biden now say they regret doing so

Based on media reporting, it appears that the basis for Bragg's indictment is mischaracterization of the payment made to Stormy Daniels as a "legal expense". Identifying the payment as a "legal expense" seems legitimate as part of the overall legal process in preparing and executing the Non-Disclosure agreement.

Additionally, many have also raised the very legitimate points that there is no victim. The implication here is: What is the point of prosecuting?

Read the law.

 

[Steve R.]

Read the law.

Please provide what you consider the relevant text. Note that H. Clinton claimed that the Russia collusion hoax was a "legal expense". Her campaign only received a nominal fine. She was not charged with XXX felonies. Dual justice once again.

In terms of reading the law, numerous legal experts have documented that the law is being abused and misconstrued by Bragg to implement a political hit job to torpedo Trump's campaign. Also look at all the other failed attempts, like the 14th Amendment case, to sabotage Trump's reelection efforts. Dual justice once again.

Biden broke the law regarding classified documents, but in a country where no one is above the law, he is above the law. He wasn't prosecuted.

I'm waiting sadly for 50 people to do something stupid around the Trump Indictment courthouse so we can endlessly hear a Big Lie about April 6th (or whatever) as opposed to January 6th.

Meanwhile, 50 other people - people who have actually hurt, maimed, stabbed, shot, robbed someone - will be walking OUT of the same jail after no-bail or downgraded charges or declined charges, because "It's equity, dude!" or "They were wrong, but I understand why they are angry and hurting", etc.

To quote libbish media, "Watch this space"

How can it be a lie. Evidence was sent to a Grand Jury and they, regular people, voted to indict.

 

[jpl458]

You are ASSUMING that Trump is guilty. That isn't how things work in the US and probably not in the UK either. By your logic, if I accuse you of raping me in a department store dressing room 20 years ago on some non specific date, you are automatically guilty? Using that method, the first candidate who makes an accusation becomes the de facto winner because he takes out his opponent immediately simply by making an accusation that can't immediately be proven to be false????? Great tactic

Republicans who refuse to defend Trump who is being accused of some non-crime simply to interfere with his ability to run for President should all be called out by name because if they won't defend Trump, they won't defend "you" who are nothing in the greater scheme of things. Isn't that election interference on top of other crimes? I'm looking forward to the day when the prosecutor is disbarred for prosecutorial misconduct.

I will not quit shaving till that happens. The Grand Jury voted to indict. You mean that the left was able to get all the folks on the grand jury. That is how thibg have always worked.

 

[jpl458]

His son is above the law as are Clinton, Obama, and every other non Trump supporter. Biden is actively committing treason and he is never going to be prosecuted.

How is Biden comitting treason? Real proof, not supposotion. And BTW, the Deadly Force document is included in all searches. The document actually restricts the use of deadly force. And the FBI agents always carry guns.

 

[jpl458]

As everyone points out - you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Doesn't make the sandwich guilty of anything.

The grand jury process is designed to get an indictment. The accused has no representation and the prosecution can hide exculpatory evidence. All of that is being revealed by the judge in the Florida case (documents).

A person charged has the right to appear before a grand jury. So how is the jury set up to indict every time? What about baloney sandwiches, I hear they are very sneaky.

 

[Steve R.]

A person charged has the right to appear before a grand jury.

Wrong.

What Is a Grand Jury and How Does It Work?

A grand jury is a panel of randomly-selected laypeople that determines whether there is enough evidence in a case to charge someone with a crime.

www.thoughtco.com

The accused does not have the right to appear before the grand jury and contest evidence brought by the prosecutor.

Moreover:

Unlike most other court proceedings, grand jury proceedings take place in secret, ...

-----------------------------------------------------------
Even worse, in terms of the maniacal Trump derangement syndrome that tortures the law to get Trump: Trump was essentially a victim of a "Bill of Attainder" which is unconstitutional. This is also similar to Bragg (illegally) reactivating a misdemeanor for the sole purpose of getting Trump.

How a new law allowed E. Jean Carroll to seek justice against Trump years later

Survivors of sexual assault and advocates helped pass the Adult Survivors Act in New York that was instrumental to Carroll’s civil case.

19thnews.org

The law opened a one-time window for adult sexual assault survivors in New York to file a civil case against an abuser or institution that protected the abuser — no matter when the assault took place, even if it’s outside the statute of limitations. But that window expires in six months.
