As the liberal war on Donald Trump continues, a highly politicized case has surfaced in Manhattan, New York. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is the orchestrator behind this spectacle, making waves with a case that reeks of political vendetta rather than legal merit. Critics are lambasting the case for being glaringly insubstantial and for attempting to paint the former President in an unjust light.
In this flagrant charade of justice, Trump is contending with 34 charges related to the accusation of falsifying business records in the infamous Stormy Daniels’ hush-money saga. Allegedly, Trump had a part in sealing Daniels’ lips with hush-money payments prior to the 2016 election, ostensibly to keep an affair they had in 2006 out of the limelight. But one has to wonder, is this a legitimate pursuit of justice, or another politically charged attack on the former president?
Esteemed attorney Alan Dershowitz perceives Bragg’s case as a manifestation of politically motivated animosity, dubbing it as reliant on “made-up laws.” As he pointed out in his interview with The Epoch Times, “Nobody should ever be arrested based on made-up laws or combining a federal and state statute.” His concern echoes the sentiment of conservatives who see the relentless pursuit of Trump as indicative of liberal overreach.
John Bolton, a former Trump administration national security adviser and now a detractor of Trump’s 2024 campaign, voiced his own criticisms of the charges against Trump. Despite his opposition to Trump’s political aspirations, he expressed dismay at the dubious indictment, labeling it as “even weaker than I feared it would be.”
Even Senator Mitt Romney, a notable anti-Trump GOP member, questioned the rationale of the charges. Despite his reservations about Trump’s character and conduct, he recognized the risk of political bias in the prosecutor’s charges and the potential damage it could inflict on public faith in our justice system.
As Trump gears up for what promises to be a challenging 2024 presidential primary, these charges add another hurdle to his path. A Manhattan court’s scheduling of his trial for March 25, 2024, places the former president at a distinct disadvantage in the throes of the primary season. In a pretrial hearing, Trump reacted with discernable frustration to Judge Juan Manuel Merchan’s advisement to clear his schedule for the trial’s potential duration.
Trump voiced his consternation through his Truth Social platform, stating, “Just had New York County Supreme Court hearing where I believe my First Amendment Rights, ‘Freedom of Speech,’ have been violated, and they forced upon us a trial date of March 25th, right in the middle of Primary season.” He added that this was nothing less than “ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” a tactic never before seen in our nation’s history.
Despite Trump’s frustrations, the case is proceeding in state court. There is, however, an ongoing attempt by his lawyers to move it to federal court due to some alleged conduct occurring while he was in office. This move, if successful, could potentially temper the perception of political bias against the former President.
In light of these developments, lawyers for the former President have approached U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss what they view as “unfair treatment” of their client. This case, it seems, is more about political warfare than legal rectitude, and we must ask ourselves: is this the fair and balanced justice system we want for our country?
