Prosecutors resigned after New York DA said he wasn’t prepared to move forward with indictment of Trump



CNN —
Two top prosecutors leading the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump and his business resigned after the Manhattan district attorney said he was not prepared to authorize an indictment against the former President, a person familiar with the investigation said.

Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz, two senior prosecutors on the team, resigned last month – one day after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg informed them that he wasn’t prepared to move forward with criminal charges. The resignations followed weeks of internal debate and discussion over the strength of the evidence against Trump and whether it could pass the hurdle of proving a crime.


Prosecutors have been investigating Trump and the Trump Organization and whether they misled lenders, insurers, and others by providing them false or misleading financial statements about the value of properties.

The abrupt resignations last month of the top prosecutors has cast the future of the investigation into doubt as a special grand jury convened last year is set to expire at the end of April.

1. Georgia has a stronger case against him

4. I don't know about that, but Georgia does have a case against...

him. The two prosecutors who worked on the case for many months and had a file containing 5M docs felt they were ready to indict but the new DA, who took office on Jan. 1 of this year, hardly time to make a dent in the millions of doc pages, informed them on Jan. 24 of this year that he wasn't ready to move on the case. They soon resigned in protest.

There was a Glenn Kirchner video post here earlier today on it questioning why the new DA won't even release the resignation letters of the two who quit.

Sure makes one wonder what's going on. Follow the money I say.

Let’s hope

3. I Assume Many Others Do Exactly The Same Thing

May have played a part.

5. Do we still have to "be patient"?

9. What's the alternative?

6. Highly suspicious: DA refuses to release resignation letter

What the Hell is he hiding?

7. Not at all impressed with Alvin Bragg. Something seems very off.

On a late January afternoon, two senior prosecutors stood before the new Manhattan district attorney, hoping to persuade him to criminally charge the former president of the United States. The prosecutors, Mark F. Pomerantz and Carey R. Dunne, detailed their strategy for proving that Donald J. Trump knew his annual financial statements were works of fiction. Time was running out: The grand jury hearing evidence against Mr. Trump was set to expire in the spring. They needed the district attorney, Alvin Bragg, to decide whether to seek charges.

But Mr. Bragg and his senior aides, masked and gathered around a conference table on the eighth floor of the district attorney’s office in Lower Manhattan, had serious doubts. They hammered Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne about whether they could show that Mr. Trump had intended to break the law by inflating the value of his assets in the annual statements, a necessary element to prove the case.

The questioning was so intense that as the meeting ended, Mr. Dunne, exasperated, used a lawyerly expression that normally refers to a judge’s fiery questioning: “Wow, this was a really hot bench,” Mr. Dunne said, according to people with knowledge of the meeting. “What I’m hearing is you have great concerns.”

The meeting, on Jan. 24, started a series of events that brought the investigation of Mr. Trump to a sudden halt, and late last month prompted Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne to resign. It also represented a drastic shift: Mr. Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., had deliberated for months before deciding to move toward an indictment of Mr. Trump. Mr. Bragg, not two months into his tenure, reversed that decision. Mr. Bragg has maintained that the three-year inquiry is continuing. But the reversal, for now, has eliminated one of the gravest legal threats facing the former president.

8. The fix is in alright. Someone should check on Bragg's bank account.

[Mr. Ected]

10. As much as we pride ourselves with having the greatest system of justice ever created

A system is only as good as the morality of the people executing its directives.

Alvin Bragg failed us. Justice weeps.


Again.

11. Forget the promises, at the last second, Lucy will always snatch the football away.

Trump is in the class of Americans that are not subject to the same laws as the rest of us.

[Emile]

12. It sure looks that way!

[msfiddlestix]

13. I mean, didn't we intuit this long before now?

It has been literally quite obvious for all of us on the outside, with no contacts to this office and their day to day process, siuch as it was.


Clear as Rain.

MF was being ALLOWED to get away of any wrong doing.

My question as regards a State Attorney General's remit overseeing criminal investigations in district Prosecutors offices. Can Leticia James take over?

And if so, will she?
