DA Bragg, explain why you dropped the case against Trump (The NY Daily News)
https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-bragg-trump-explain-20220329-6fa77vsvhfbytikdbpjwt2fi7e-story.htmlIt is time for recently elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to publicly explain why he suspended the grand jury presentation that focused on whether criminal charges should be brought against Donald Trump for financial irregularities. The abrupt resignation of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, who headed the DA’s investigation of Trump under former DA Cy Vance, has raised serious questions that serve to undermine the public’s confidence in the integrity of the district attorney’s investigation. Pomerantz’s extraordinary resignation letter, which detailed his reasons for leaving, and the recent reports that prosecutors are now returning documents to people who turned over information about Trump’s business hardly support the new DA’s claim that “the investigation continues.”
Together, we have practiced criminal law as a prosecutor and as criminal defense attorneys for more than 85 years. We embrace the ethical principle that prosecutors should not normally publicly comment on ongoing investigations. But the facts and circumstances of the Trump investigation compelled two highly experienced and respected lawyers to suddenly resign after years of work cry. This cries out for answers to restore public confidence in one of the country’s most highly respected prosecutor’s offices.
Pomerantz, a former federal prosecutor, in fact came out of retirement to lead the investigation at the behest of then-DA Vance. Dunne had served as the DA’s general counsel and had distinguished himself by his successful argument that resulted in the Supreme Court’s decision that Trump’s personal taxes had to be turned over to prosecutors. Pomerantz’s resignation letter did not mince words when he stated that the prosecution team that had been investigating Trump “harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did.” He went on to say, “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…” Based on the evidence that the DA had obtained and analyzed, he left no doubt that the decision to not prosecute Trump is “misguided and completely contrary to the public interest.”
Bragg must explain why the public interest of the people of the state of New York does not warrant Trump’s prosecution based on the evidence that was already in hand at the time of his assuming office in January 2021. At the very least, why not present all the evidence that his office already obtained and leave it to the grand jury to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that Trump committed felonies? What is the evidentiary basis for his decision to halt the grand jury’s consideration of evidence when the prosecutors who had been working on the investigation for years so strongly believed that the facts warranted charging Trump, were compelled to resign rather than remain silent in the face of an “injustice”?

the rest of his career investigating it and still come up with nothing.
That seems to be the popular course of action at the present time.
He destroys everything he touches. Sometimes referred to as Sadim touch (Reverse of Midas Touch).
So if DA Bragg is in bed with Pendejo45 (again 
), his career will be destroyed.
Vance was the DA for New York County for 11 years, and no indictments were issued to the Chump family or to the Chump organization for a very long time. "Was he scared, or was he corrupt?" were the implications. If he was neither then surely the Chump family members would be in jail very soon. And this was even BEFORE Chump ran for president, so there was a lot of frustration in the Big Apple.
Just before he left office DA Vance threw down the hammer and declared that the case against Chump should finally proceed. Whoops, ran out of time, so I'll just leave this for the next guy to finish up. Now Bragg has come in and shut it all down. The whole thing stinks like 3-day old fish.
