“It’s not a campaign finance violation. It’s not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor. … “I don’t know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them found there to be any violations whatsoever...

Bragg continues to get pelted by republicans, government agencies, the press, and even some in his own party, but forges ahead anyway. The accusations he has leveled against Trump are lame to put it lightly as has been shown repeatedly.

He says Trump committed fraud against the American people to get elected in 2016, yet he also alleges Trump's first crime was committed in 2017. The only mention of "crime" Bragg mentions before 2016 are NDA agreements and "hush money", neither of which are illegal.

So what's the crime?

If paperwork for those transactions are somehow falsified in a manner that forms the basis for fraudulent tax or stock valuations, that might be a criminal matter (although in most cases it would likely be handled civilly if restitution is offered). But that’s not the case here. Trump owns his own business, so he’d be essentially defrauding himself.

The only fraud here is Bragg. So what's this case all about? Well, fortunately, Bragg himself let the cat out of the bag...

Fox News reporter Jake Gibson, who was in the courtroom, said that prosecutors had asked for the January 2024 trial date. The Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the Republican primary — will be on February 5, 2024. That means prosecutors want a trial that would undoubtedly affect the race for the Republican nomination, both by distracting the current frontrunner, and by tarnishing him relative to other candidates in the race.

And the bolded part, ladies and gentlemen, is the crux of this case. They want to keep Trump out of office any way they can.

Alvin Bragg has Violated former President Donald Trump’s Sixth Amendment Rights by Failing to Denote the Specific Crime Trump has Allegedly Committed in the Unprecedented indictment . A Law Suit Against him Personally by Mr. Trump should Follow...

Bragg is untouchable. Sorry to have to break the rules to you.

I read an article that Bragg is actually stalling on the 'other crime' so he can find one by December - or concoct some reasoning.
It appears one of his options is to say Trump broke a tax law by paying Cohen enough to cover his taxes on the $130k - which resulting in the IRS getting more money LOL.

Maybe Bragg should be focusing on not releasing criminals onto the New York City streets who are committing crimes during broad day time.

Maybe Bragg is a closet conservative and he really wants to help DJT get reelected.

Either that, or he is unbeliveably stupid. But, can anybody really be that stupid?

There is a sickness in this country by quite a lot of people in government. We used to say Trump Derangement Syndrome but that is too kind. Bragg is just one person but there are so many more like him that don't belong in the position they hold. How can adult professionals be so consumed with going after a single person at the risk of looking inept and petty? I've really had enough of this and if Americans (left right and center) don't see what's going on, the future is bleak.

By law, no more than three Commissioners can represent the same political party, and at least four votes are required for any official Commission action. This structure was created to encourage nonpartisan decisions.


That's right off the FEC website. And, as xuenchen already pointed out, 4 out of the 7 are dems.

I don't think they're consumed, I think they are criminals. With Trump in the public eye or God forbid the White House their asses are hanging in the wind. Everything they do to Trump is a desperate "cover your ass" move. Hillary said they were all gonna swing and they know it.

Well one thing is for sure, Trump will be convicted by a Manhattan jury whether he is guilty or not.

Definitely, many of them are criminals and they best be careful. What goes around, comes around. Keep this crap up and Hillary, Nancy and Joe might finally see a courtroom for silly little transgressions. We know they've got their asses covered for the major crimes.

I would normally agree with you, but maybe not this time. Bragg and his judge accomplice are getting more resistance everyday, and subpoenas are starting to come out of the house. Bragg (and possibly others) may find himself in hot water before this is over.

Liberal Leaders share the same evil bullheadedness that invites trouble.

For example, even after the FBI and the Capitol police investigated and found no link to President Trump planning or starting the Jan 6, 2021 violence at the U.S. Capitol, MORON LIBERALS in Congress, headed by Nancy Pelosi, ignored the FBI/Capitol Police findings. They went full steam ahead with their own Trump frame-up, disguised as an "investigation".

The Liberal Congress scumbags failed.

Liberal scumbag D.A. BRAGG and his minions will fail also.
