Manhattan DA Announces Plan To Get Trump Elected In 2024

If this doesn't sound about right :laugh: The Dems being surpassed as their own worst enemy only by the Republican't's constantly shooting themselves in the foot. The Dems do everything wrong and get away with it.

Imagine of the right was pulling the same in-your-face, illegal/unconstitutional crap the Dems are. We'd already be in a full-blown civil war.

MANHATTAN, NY — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has announced a brilliant new plan to get Trump elected President in 2024.
"I will stop at absolutely nothing to put Trump back in the White House where he belongs," said Mr. Bragg. "I'm about to charge up his base like you've never seen!"


Mr. Bragg had carefully waited until the moment he could give Trump the biggest political boost to push forward with an indictment. "Check and mate, libs," laughed Mr. Bragg as he pulled on a MAGA hat. "I've already put in my request to be Trump's Transportation Secretary, I hear it's super easy. 2024, here we come!"
After lawyers of every political allegiance agreed there was no criminal case against Trump over hush money paid during his 2016 campaign, Mr. Bragg knew taking the hopeless case was his big chance. "The optics of Democrats indicting, even handcuffing Trump on charges that have no chance of sticking - what more could the Trump campaign ask for?" said MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "Mr. Bragg might be the most brilliant Republican strategist this century. He's playing chess while the rest of us are out here playing checkers."
At publishing time, Governor Ron DeSantis was wondering what sort of crime he needed to be indicted for to keep pace with Trump.

There's gotta be a side of you that will laugh if the dems get him elected either with this or by crossing over in the primaries.

I do think that this is the most that is accomplished. They are pissing folks off on this regardless of whether Trump or not.

Trump's already got a large lead and they are all now having wet dreams of seeing him arrested, too stupid to realize this only helps his candidacy.

And Bragg is still an idiot as he was long prior to all of this. :rolleyes:

[jimnyc]

This guy wants to avoid laws and arrests until he finds something that he likes. And now he's going to thumb his nose at congress as well.

Suppose for a moment that Trump gets indicted, but then found guilty of the hush money payment.... how would that affect him and his run for office in 2024?

Hostile Subject: Alvin Bragg Formally Refuses to Cooperate with Congressional Investigation

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg formally refused to cooperate with the House Republicans’ congressional investigation into “unprecedented abuse” of authority against former President Donald Trump upon the expectation the former president would be arrested this week in connection with Bragg’s investigation, Breitbart News learned Thursday.

Bragg denied providing testimony and documenters to top House Republican leadership due to “an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution,” he replied to Republicans.

On Monday, Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY), and Administration Committee chairman Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) demanded Bragg comply with the committee’s request for documents and testimony in anticipation of the possible indictment.

The anticipation was generated after Trump announced Saturday that he expected to be arrested in the coming days based on “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which is investigating Trump’s alleged role in hush money paid to Stormy Daniels.

“The Letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” Bragg’s replied to Republicans. “Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry.”

“[T]he District Attorney is obliged by the federal and state constitutions to protect the independence of state law enforcement functions from federal interference,” he added.

I'd probably go tell them to pound sand too.

[Gunny]

I'd probably go tell them to pound sand too.Why? That doesn't work for the right, in case you forgot. If the dems can drag any and everybody they feel like in over their overblown BS, why not make this Soros-funded POS answer for his political grandstanding. Or I should say attempted grandstanding.

The whole thing's a farce to me. That blind fools will follow Trump over a cliff after all the crap he's pulled, just puts the right on par with the left, IMO.

Rightwingers determined to nominate the least-electable Republican. How'd that work for midterms?:rolleyes:

That makes Bragg no less a POS, and in contempt of Congress. I won't hold my breath waiting on DOJ to pursue prosecution if such is referred.

I agree with all of that. But why? Congress should recognize it for the farce that it is. Jim Jordan is a shill.

[SassyLady]

Cohen made payments to Stormy and blamed Trump. Cohen was covering his own affair with Stormy. The case has no merit and that was proven the last time it went to court. This is just a witch hunt and everyone knows it. Bragg is a Soros sycophant and will jeopardize his own career to do Soros bidding.

[fj1200]

^I'm pretty sure that's not true.

No secret I want Trump out of the picture. He doesn't deserve to bein in it anymore, IMO. On the other hand, the left's witch hunting grinds on my nerves as it repeatedly is an in-your-face as to how politically-partisan/lopsided judicial bureaucrats are in this country.

I stated this when it was the GOP going after Clinton and it applies as well here: Trump's faithful don't care if he in fact did pay hush money to a porn star anymore than leftwingnuts cared about Clinton's immoral/unethical conduct, to say the least. The latter set the bar, but want to hold Trump to a higher standard. That's BS.

Both sides playing political ball with the law have people shrugging off legal accusations accusations as political BS.

Gunny. Sorry. My argument is I don't think they will be able to destroy him either.

[Gunny]

@Gunny (http://www.debatepolicy.com/member.php?u=30). Sorry. My argument is I don't think they will be able to destroy him either.Depends on your viewpoint. IMO, he is right where the left wants him. His accusations are branded and accepted officially World-wide as a lie, as is anyone who supports him. His label has been branded right wing extremist conspiracy theorist.

He's tarnished the Republican Party itself, as if it needed any help. Any leftwingnut proposal/idea that's rejected is done so by "MAGA Republicans". An effective ploy driving a bigger wedge between Trump and his supporters, and mainstream Republicans and those independents/centrists/moderates that usually support the GOP. His name ruined the midterms for the GOP.

If by "destroy" you mean burn him to ground, throw him in prison or what have you, Why do that? He's currently the best thing the Dems have going for them. They sure as Hell don't have anything else.

I have my doubts that this moron Bragg has the blessings of the Dem masters. They just aren't going to say anything against him in their usual, closed-ranks style. For real: even if tried and convicted, who gives a flip? Money says it won't matter one whit to his supporters.

So there's no real point to this exercise except that its giving Trump more media face time and Bragg's getting his 15 seconds of fame up in lights.

Notice how the arrest never came and despite Bragg's "defiantly standing up to the right:rolleyes:", it appears to be fizzling? I don't that it is, just looks that way. Point being, I have considered Bragg got his ear whispered in. He's trying to convict anyone of a felony for allegedly committing a misdemeanor. Doing more harm than good of leaving that Trump bait out there on the line.

I didn't see this first time around.

Why is Jordan a shill?

I think he'll blindly follow trump down any rabbit hole.

[Gunny]

I think he'll blindly follow trump down any rabbit hole.Honest question: How is he following Trump?

Maybe I'm the one looking down rabbit holes, but all I have paid much attention to regarding Jordan is his chairing the investigation into the weaponization of of the DOJ, which has been turned into a farce by that moron, woke Dem who for some reason is the ranking member on the committee while representing a US territory rather than an actual state.

I also see Jordan as I do most Republican't's - stuck between a rock and hard place in regard to Trump, what is, what is right, AND trying to win elections. Not that they haven't put themselves there, but it's gotta suck just the same.

I have to agree with fj, everything I've heard from Jordan has been Trump positions.

He's certainly smarter and more articulate than Trump, but seems to have the role of acolyte

Yeah, it's not just this issue, or one article, that I would point to. It's just knowing that anytime trump needs someone to jump on capitol hill, he is asking how high. Especially on this issue; he has zero justification for pestering a city DA.

[SassyLady]

I see Jordan as on a mission to bring down the deep state. Right now that involves weaponization of the bureaucracy and its relentless Trump investigations. I believe he wants to make sure it's not used against future conservatives.
