It will take these little pea brains being massacred by criminals to finally realize that "defunding the police" was a really stupid idea.

On May 8, 2021, a political action committee backed by billionaire George Soros, Color of Change, endorsed Bragg in the DA race and pledged $1 million to support his election. According to public filings, George Soros made a $1 million donation to Color of Change PAC on May 14
In a 2022 WSJ op-ed, Soros admitted he has “supported the election (and more recently the re-election) of prosecutors” and soft-on-crime district attorneys. During his primary election, a woman made a “disturbing allegation” against Bragg. She came forward to Color of Change. The PAC immediately halved its funding to Bragg and the allegation was never disclosed publicly. Bragg hired a PR crisis-management team after taking office.
Public records reveal that Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC on May 14, 2021, which never contributed directly to the Bragg campaign but endorsed the candidate on May 8, 2021, and pledged to spend at least $1 million on direct mail, voter turnout initiatives, and other efforts on behalf of Bragg.

If Bragg never outlined a real crime, won't the case be dismissed by a Supreme Court Justice?

I’m sure any lower court conviction would immediately
go to appeal. It is possible it might go to SCOTIS.
I don’t think Bragg has a “real crime”...though he
is looking for one as we speak.
Like Russia Russia Russia, they will pay someone
to fabricate something to spin a story. 🙈
As a former president and the de facto leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump is one of the most powerful people in America.

Everything I'm reading says this case will not get to trial. The charges and conviction will be rendered moot, like they never happened. The most significant after-effects will be a bigger war chest for candidate Trump, and a disbarment and possible trial for D.A. (Dumb Ass) Alvin Bragg.

I'm pretty sure the Left is becoming aware of that, as I read this just today on their NYT paper.

Judge received death threats... something of that nature they were on about.

Bragg won't appear before Congress but the National Ethics Committee is bound by law to appear and testify.
The American Bar Association having to sit before Congress is actually much worse for Bragg, he should have honored their request.

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan subpoenaed former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz for his role investigating Donald Trump and his business empire – as House Republicans attempt to frame the recent indictment against the former President as politically motivated.
The move comes as Jordan has left the door open on whether to take the unprecedented step to subpoena Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as part of the larger House Republican effort to discredit the case he has brought against Trump.

Since 2017, Donald Trump has received more death threats than all the Judges, Obama, & Biden combined.

Given all of the above, one has to ask, why is this happening? Why is this REALLY happening? WHY ON EARTH IS THIS HAPPENING NOW, AT THIS TIME when it does NOT seem to benefit anyone but DJT???
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.

I doubt even The American Bar Association means squat to Bragg. It's the NY Bar Association he has to worry about, but they even refused to investigate James Comey when official complaints were sent in about his law license. No one in New York seems to really care about the law or ethics.
