With Trump's admission that he alone oversaw Calamari's compensation, DA Bragg's action even worse- GK

[Rhiannon12866]

Two stories just broke that, when viewed together, highlight a searing injustice involving the complete lack of accountability for Donald Trump's crimes.

First, CNN reported that New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is letting the NY grand jury expire this week without asking them to vote on a criminal indictment for Donald Trump. Then, the Daily Beast reported that Trump gave deposition testimony in 2021, testifying that he alone was responsible for the compensation of Matthew Calamari Sr., his Chief Operating Officer. Given that it appears Calamari received the same "fishy perks" (as the Daily Beast puts it) as Weisselberg, it seems Trump's testimony directly implicates him in the same tax fraud scheme for which Weisselberg ins indicted. This staggering revelation makes it all the more clear that DA Bragg's decision to kill the investigation into Trump's crimes is an inexcusable injustice. 04/29/2022.

1. Bought off or threatened?

The former would disgust me, the latter would scare the shit out of me.

2. And, knowing them, it's likely either - or both.

3. Something smells like corruption.

Since all the NY gubernatorial candidates, both Dem and repub, have promised to replace Bragg, it seems he's not long for his office. And if the winning governor doesn't fulfill his/her campaign promise, I doubt Bragg, with the hint of corruption wafting about, will win re-election.

Wonder if it was worth it, as he could've road being "the one who finally got trump" to the governor's mansion or US Senate himself, or eventually even higher.

4. Is this type of fraud SOP for New York real estate across the board?

It seems like there is something going on like if we go after Trump, there is a bigger house of cards than the Trump organization. If the entire New York real estate market has been inflated by money laundering and tax fraud and you expose it in one case, regardless of who it is, could it cascade?
