It looks like DA Brag may not be honest when saying the case against trump is still ongoing

[JohnSJ]

“

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg issued a statement on Thursday clarifying that his office was still investigating former President Donald Trump.

……..

The Daily Beast on Thursday had more on the investigation.

"Over the last several weeks, the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into former President Donald Trump has appeared to be unraveling, with the two top prosecutors on the case resigning over the lack of charges and the DA feeling so attacked over the lack of movement that he issued a statement Thursday saying an indictment against Trump could still come," The Beast reported. "But inside the DA’s office, the inertia and frustration over Trump potentially avoiding culpability looks worse than ever before."

4. I agree about Raw Story...

But this seems to be them repurposing Daily Beast reporting. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gutted-inside-the-manhattan-das-unraveling-donald-trump-probe

7. This Country's Idea Of Justice Is A Complete Fucking Joke

I want to get out of here so badly.

8. There is no investigation. That is WHY prosecutors resigned.

[bamagal62]

10. Yep

[OnDoutside]

11. Didn't they start returning evidence ?

13. Bragg is a drag (n/t)

[Takket]

14. Yeah this sounds much more like reality

That statement yesterday felt like total lip service. The reality is he probably has a 20 year old intern “investigating” a jaywalking incident for the next four years so he can just keep saying he’s doing something. And with these investigations stretching on for years no one will ever really know what they are doing.

15. All this story has is an opinion of a former prosecutor that the investigation won't continue...

...who was unhappy with the approach taken by the DAs office, NOT with an affirmative decision not to pursue the case.
