From PJ Media, a piece that was written before Trump’s court appearance Tuesday:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has apparently decided that as long as he is going to drive us into banana republic territory, he might as well put the pedal to the metal: he is reportedly planning to charge Donald Trump with not one, but 34, felonies. He has the flimsiest of cases, but it’s clear that the Leftist elites are not buying the widespread claims that this bogus arrest will hand the White House to Trump on a platter in 2024, and have opted to go all-out.
Whoever is behind Bragg’s reckless and destructive persecution of Trump is apparently calculating that the prospect of a presidential candidate battling such a long list of felony charges will give distracted and indifferent voters the impression that Trump must have committed some terrible crime and frighten them away. There has never before been a presidential candidate under indictment, and Democrats appear to be banking on the proposition that most Americans are still unaware that the old republic has passed away and that the criminal might not be the one who is indicted, but the one doing the indicting. That would explain why Alvin Bragg appears to be cheerfully indifferent to the appearance of conducting a corrupt, politicized prosecution designed to take out the chief opponent of the ruling regime.
Michael Isikoff reported at Yahoo News that Bragg will “charge Trump with falsification of business records.” Trump will be arrested Tuesday and “informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president.” According to this source, the rabid Leftists who have been slavering for Trump’s head on a platter will not get their wish: Trump “will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell, or subjected to a mug shot.”
This will not be because Bragg and his henchmen have any respect for the dignity of the former president or the office he once held. It is simply because they have concluded that there is no reason to handcuff the 76-year-old Trump or take a mug shot: defendants are handcuffed to prevent them from fleeing, and since Trump is always surrounded by Secret Service agents, so he couldn’t even if he wished to do so. The mug shot, meanwhile, is likewise unnecessary because one would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the world who wouldn’t recognize Donald J. Trump.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Kepha says
Bragg all but shut down NYC law enforcement to ensure security around Trump Tower, airport, and courthouse. He gives a word salad instead of specific points of the indictment. In the meantime, violent crime is up in Manhattan. The whole thing reeks of a case the prosecution will lose, but political points will be made to Bragg’s base, and Trump’s campaign will officially be derailed. We now have a way entrenched oligarchies or tyrannies May crush opposition while pretending to be democratic and upholding rule of law. Uncle Kepha is now humbly grateful to be a citizen of the United Bansna Republic of America.

Mr. Andrew McCarthy, former federal prosecutor (he successfully prosecuted ksm) says bragg has charged so many because his case is so weak. bragg hopes the jury will believe that because there are so many different allegations of criminal activity, there has to be something Trump has done with which to convict.
Unless some are dropped before the trial begins, one can only imagine a group of ordinary people…can’t get twelve past presidents for a jury…having to listen to and then sift through any *evidence* presented for each charge, in order to determine if Trump is guilty or not of charge number 1, then 2, 3….and on through the entire 34. Most ordinary people don’t understand a lot about the Law…just as this bragg creep knows nothing about Justice, ethics, honesty; and some judges, such as the one making gag orders to prevent defendants from speaking; so it may take them some time to pretend they have understood all of the *evidence* and to determine innocence or guilt.
The “grand jury” evidently didn’t understand its job.
This could last much longer than oj, or phil specter, and way longer than the monkey trial, but not as long as it has taken the donkeys to put their rival for power on trial.
How many dirty deals will go down behind closed doors while the nation watches the show trial?
Keith O says
I had wondered about the back room deals that have been done with Bragg and if a seat on SCOTUS was a sweetener?
Look at it this way, IF he manages to get a guilty verdict on even one charge he will have been given a blank cheque by the Dumbocraps.

I think Bragg just made it to the top of Trump’s Xmas card list.
By every indication this is a very flimsy case — if it’s any case at all. I expected some surprises in the indictment but the only surprise is that there weren’t any surprises. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got thrown out long before trial.
Candidates for office that requires some special qualifications, such as AGs, should have to pass more than just a foggy mirror test.
Walter Sieruk says
Those insidious and sinister power elite operating “behind the curtains” with all their vicious malice have in it for Donald Trump.
Therefore,, they use one of stooges. Alvin Brag, to take “out of the political picture Mr. Trump, because he is a strong bulwark against those schemes for the future of United States.
Furthermore, two modern and closely connected un-American subversive movements of the twenty –first century in the United States are the Leftist/Islamic alliance and the Red /Green alliance.
The people who make up both of those entities do, especially those Muslims members of it, strongly detest Donald Trump because of the many grand and great accomplishments of President Trump his official US government recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital City of the Jewish State of Israel. Later President Trump recognized the Golan Heights as, rightly belonging to Israel.
Likewise, President Trump had sanction imposed on that aggressive hostile vicious anti- America and anti- Israel tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran, which had the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Furthermore, President Trump in Office and greatly supported strong thick tall US /Mexican borders that are patrolled by armed US troops , National Guard and police who may be allows to use their firearms if they deem it necessary .
For porous US borders are seen as in open invitation by dangerous jihadists of murderous Islamic terror organizations as Al Qaeda , ISIS and also Hamas and Hezbollah and even the Taliban.
The above “reasons” are why those of the leftist/Islamic and the Red/Green alliance are after Donald Trump with their malice and hate- filled passion and want , by any means to take him down and keep him down.

Be fair — Bragg may not be a “stooge” but acting idiotically in his own right.
E T says
Fair LOL LOL LOL. All is FAIR in love and war.
Westman says
I wonder how many prospective DeSantis voters will decide to back Trump no matter what the outcome because of Democrats dancing in the streets as Palestinians did on 9/11? The freudenschade is so thick that Biden must be tasting it with his 6th-sense taster.
It certainly is a signal for GOP committees to start shifting through the lives of prominent Democrats in the ever-escalating fruitful tit-for-tat since we all know liberalism loves vice. Maybe start with Congress’ NDA payoffs. They once had a fund just for that.
tgusa says
The democrat party is very much like the mafia and President Trump is not a made man.

“We know incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems,” Reiss said during a Peace Institute event in May 2021. Fox News Digital has previously reported that Reiss said criminals are not “bad dudes” while simultaneously blasting juries for believing police officers facing misconduct allegations deserve the “benefit of the doubt.”
Reiss went on to describe how the Manhattan district attorney helped a murderer get out of jail time for a homicide victim who had very few relatives.

Going forward the phrase “trumped-up charges ” shall forever be synonymous with the unjust, persecutory and illegitimate, but routine treatment, of President Donald Trump at the hands of the un-American Democrat Communist Party which has adopted the old Soviet’s Lavrentiy Beria’s “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime” as a tool to eliminate political opponents.
