The indictment of Donald Trump does not cite a law he has broken. Soros DA Bragg said he doesn’t have to tell us what law was broken. Bragg might create a new precedent of charging people who didn’t actually break a law.
If it were illegal to influence an election, countless Democrats would be in prison. The campaign finance violation would only come into play if he used campaign funds instead of his personal funds.
Some of us wonder how a Manhattan DA can prosecute a federal law.
The indictment is legally insufficient on its face. New York state law does not make it a crime to influence an election. Federal law does not make it a crime either. Maybe that’s why no law is actually cited in the indictment. Nor are the facts sufficient. #TrumpArraignment https://t.co/CbOj27v41v

JD Rucker writes:
Prima facie, this indictment is a joke. It demonstrates the degradation of the United States of America under the Biden-Harris regime and Uniparty Swamp rule. Most importantly, both Alvin Bragg and this indictment are national embarrassments, as I noted on Twitter.
Bragg admitted “the indictment does not specify” which particular crimes these might be, leaving the door open for Trump’s team to challenge the legitimacy of the charges.
“What struck me was the statement of facts which laid out what I would consider to be facts related to a conspiracy,” said Jim Roberts, a white-collar defense lawyer at Schlam Stone & Dolan and a former Manhattan assistant district attorney. “That charge [conspiracy] is notably absent from the formal charges that are contained in the indictment,” he added, unlike the one brought against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon by the same office last year.
“The multiple theories of the predicate crime required to elevate the misdemeanor charge … to a felony might be akin to an everything but the kitchen sink approach,” Roberts added.
George Washington U Law School Professor Jonathan Turley called it a “patently political prosecution.” Professor Turley thinks the “case could collapse.”
Bragg has to tell Donald Trump what crime he committed eventually. We can’t wait to see what he comes up with in that BS cauldron of his.

As Bret Baier reports, Bragg said he doesn’t have to tell us the laws Donald Trump broke. Imagine that in New York, we can now commit crimes that don’t exist, or if they do, they don’t have to tell us what they are. That’s a little too police-state-ish – don’t you think?
We can’t find a criminal statute, but we’ll keep looking.
REPORTER: “The indictment does not specifically say what those crimes were… What laws were broken?”
DA BRAGG: “The indictment doesn’t specify because the law does not so require…”
BRAGG makes NO SENSE!

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says Bragg is “prosecuting a federal crime under the guise of state law.”

If the bar is you don’t need to break a state law to be charged, Bragg should be able to arrest real criminals better than he does. More than half of the felons have their felonies bumped down to misdemeanors in Bragg’s office.

Even CNN finds it UNDERWHELMING. It’s the same case as it existed for seven years, [and no one would charge based on that except Alvin.]
Even CNN’s legal analyst is saying this case is underwhelming. When even CNN won’t shill for you against Trump, it’s bad, really bad. pic.twitter.com/KCczjOW4Il

Aside from the fact that Bragg was an affirmative action alumni of Harvard Law it’s safe to assume that somewhere his office exists a legal assistant who has completed Criminal Law 101. Yes, the indictment is legally insufficient and that is exactly what is intended. It is to make ALL people understand that the organized crime family that masquerades as… Read more »
This is the new form of terrorism which makes the fat ass Bragg a terrorist. Sa,e as ChinaMoney Joe Biden who’s also a terrorist and covert KKK associate.
Lavrenti Beria is probably applauding from his perch in Hell. He said if you were to “show him the man” he’d “find the crime.” Bragg has done even “better.”
Like Hillary, Bragg Manufactured the Crime.
Law? What law? I don’t need no stinkin’ law. This whole show is not about law and crime, it is about tying up Trump and resources and creating a distraction from the J6 tapes, the failures of Congress to do anything that they promised and to drain capital from the reelection campaign. This will drag on until at least November… Read more »
Business needs to think twice about doing any business in New York. If you’re not a Card Carrying Democrat, then you are a Target of the Government in New York.
Trump was charged with falsifying business records, a listed crime. 34 times he paid Cohen for stated legal expenses while Bragg aims to prove the payments were kickbacks for money Cohen paid Daniels. The problem is Cohen’s lawyer said that isn’t what happened. Plus statute of limitations has passed. Trump was out of state but was not unavailable. Rule of… Read more »
Also, Trump never made the payments. To top it off the indictment failed to state the felony with which Trump is charged. It is wholly insufficient. Affirmative Action DA Bragg says that’s not required under the law. Guess he slept through Consistitutional Law class.
Bragg has violated EO on election interference, he received campaign donations from George Soros via shell front Corp, in return Bragg promised publicly and privately to Soros he’d “charge Trump”. Interestingly, Bragg couldn’t possibly have been aware of any details related to any sealed investigation at that point. He boldly promised to take out the front running candidate in upcoming… Read more »
