WHO PAID OFF ALVIN BRAGG?

"Prosecutors have been sending back documents to people who turned over information about former President Donald Trumps business, in perhaps the starkest sign yet that the Manhattan District Attorneys investigation into Trump may be winding down. According to two people familiar with the situation, witnesses who had turned over key documents to investigators have suddenly been getting their evidence back in recent weeks," The Daily Beast reported.
The report came after The New York Times published a scathing resignation letter by former Manhattan District Attorney prosecutor Mark Pomerantz.
"As you know from our recent conversations and presentations, I believe that Donald Trump is guilty of numerous felony violations of the Penal Law in connection with the preparation and use of his annual Statements of Financial Condition. His financial statements were false, and he has a long history of fabricating information relating to his personal finances and lying about his assets to banks, the national media, counterparties, and many others, including the American people. The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes he did," Pomerantz argued.
Constitutional law expert Laurence Tribe saw the report and argued the case needs to be handed over to Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.
"All the evidence should indeed be turned over not to the witnesses but to the US Attorney for SDNY: If former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz is right, it constitutes strong proof of federal wire fraud by Donald Trump, and DOJ should have it now," Tribe wrote.

This jettisoning of an investigation that was ready for indictments - and whose expert participants say was a good case - is pretty overtly corrupt.
And tfg is so stupid that he is broadcasting that he knows the fix is in by suing Hillary and demanding the courts prevent the House from getting his tax returns.
He obviously knows he is protected by someone. Follow the money, indeed, and you will catch a tiger by the tail because all signs point to this being a bigger network of influence than any of us suspects.

My gut aches with pain with the knowledge of the horrible effect this brings not only to the rule of law, but what's left of our democracy itself.
