The top two prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s probe into Donald Trump recently resigned over a lack of evidence. As more information comes to light, the case appears to be completely stalled. This is from the far-left The Daily Beast:
But inside the DA’s office, the inertia and frustration over Trump potentially avoiding culpability look worse than ever before.
Yet another prosecutor appears to have been pulled back from the case, according to knowledgeable sources who say it could be further proof of the probe’s failure. And sources now seem to think Trump dodging an indictment is inevitable.
He’s dodging it because there is no case.
The New York Times, which first reported the action, said it came after Alvin Bragg suggested to the attorneys that he had doubts about moving forward.
Prosecutors had been questioning witnesses before the grand jury until about February, essentially stopping the investigation, according to the Times.
The Times reported:
Without Mr. Bragg’s commitment to move forward, the prosecutors late last month postponed a plan to question at least one witness before the grand jury, one of the people said. They have not questioned any witnesses in front of the grand jury for more than a month, essentially pausing their investigation into whether Mr. Trump inflated the value of his assets to obtain favorable loan terms from banks.
The precise reasons for Mr. Bragg’s pullback are unknown, and he has made few public statements about the status of the inquiry since taking office, but the prosecutors had encountered a number of challenges in pursuing Mr. Trump.
Notably, they had thus far been unable to persuade any Trump Organization executives to cooperate and turn on Mr. Trump.
Personal hatred towards Trump welled up after the resignations were announced and some on the staff and elsewhere demanded the probe continue. It’s gone nowhere BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE despite their best efforts to manufacture some.

They will just appoint some different prosecutors.
“Persecutors”
They should go prosecute some criminals for a change.
This country is so corrupt it is pathetic!!! 5 years of constant looking at every transaction Trump or his family ever made with NOTHING! Biden crime family, Clinton crime family, Pelosi insider trading, Feinstein spy and money from the government sell Post Office buildings, Eric Swalwell with Fang Fang, lying Adam Schiiff, and nothing done! It is time ” We the People ” take this country back in November and put these people in jail where they belong! The swamp is deep and needs to be drained! The Rino’s need to go also!
U are right on the button with your statement.
The NY DA has had access to Trump’s property tax records since time began. The country of NY is the department of record. The County Assessor determines the assessed value of real estate for purposes of determining the real estate taxes paid. It is virtually impossible for Trump to have committed real estate tax fraud regardless of any statements he may have made regarding the value of his real estate.
The Obama IRS studied the Trump tax returns for eight years. Obama would have been delighted to prosecute a white Republican for tax evasion, particularly one who endorsed Hillary in 2016 and questioned Obama’s citizenship.
After studying Trump’s federal tax returns for 18 months, the NY DA reached the same conclusion as Obama’s IRS.
