Prosecutors Resigned Because DA Wouldn't Indict Trump - David Pakman



Either Trump is a genius at hiding his crimes, or the newly elected DA—Alvin Bragg Jr. is either incompetent, or is compromised.

I've never believed Trump will pay for any of his crimes, both business and constitutional. Just like everyone in the W Bush administration were let off scott free. But I'm always still hopeful that one day, someone will prove me wrong.

I just hate the false sense of promise when things like this investigation was finally started. And how the Trump family basically bragged about their crimes in the open and folks here were already celebrating. It seems like any ambulance-chaser could find reason to indict Trump, but not this new DA.

white collar crooks more than blue collar crooks. I'm not mentioning any names nor at anyone mentioned in the article, it's just a general awareness that people might consider using to interpret specific events.

Is wrong with that rat? No one is that incompetent, but there are plenty of people that are that corrupt. We need a grand jury to investigate that SOB. Prosecute or get prosecuted.

have regretted that vote over the past two weeks. He will never get my vote again. He's dirty, in my opinion, until proven otherwise.

I know nothing about him (I'm from MA), but this action seems pretty blatant. Were there any warning signs, even looking back in retrospect?

11. No shady donors or links to organized crime? Grasping at straws here, but it'd be nice to know why.

It's not uncommon for rich people to buy off officials. They laugh at those who do things lawfully. Trump is a criminal. Bragg is his bitch.

There is no way he would have signed on to this - stepping away from a very lucrative private practice - if he didn't believe there was a case here. Given his very successful prosecution rate, he wouldn't have wasted his time on a nothingburger.

Bragg is bent. And a coward.
