| 'This Case Could Collapse Before it Gets to Trial' – Jonathan Turley Slams Alvin Bragg's Case Against Trump (VIDEO) |
| 2023-04-05 |
| [Gateway] Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley on Tuesday appeared on Fox News to discuss Alvin Bragg’s indictment charging Trump with 34 felony counts. The Trump indictment was unsealed on Tuesday during Trump’s arraignment. Read the indictment here. Trump was hit with a criminal charge for every payment he made to his former lawyer Michael Cohen in connection with the ’hush payments’ to the two women. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg went through the Trump Organization’s ledger and charged him down the line per payment to Cohen. Every single payment to Michael Cohen was made in 2017 while Trump was president. Bragg’s office copy and pasted the same charge 34 times and just switched out the check or voucher number. Alvin Bragg didn’t explain what exactly he wants to convict Trump of in the charging documents. Bragg told reporters he doesn’t have to tell anyone what the underlying felony is. He’s just allowed to charged Trump with 34 felonies without explaining what the underlying offense was. WATCH: |

| #7 #3 Where is Bragg going to find 12 kangaroos for the jury?--Rambler in Virginia That assumes that the trial starts before, checking calendar, November 5th... They might have to do something of substance instead of leaking rumors, horrible suppositions about the OrangeMan, if they go to trial. |

| #6 I'm laughing my ass off at all the MSM and pundits that conspiracy was in the indictment. It wasn't so they are now backtracking and deleting tweets but the damage is done. |

| #5 What am I going to do about this? I will vote for Trump. Just like Pinky in Pinky and the Brain, my response is entirely predictable. Nothing that Bragg does will have any impact on what I do. Paying ransom or buckling to Lawfare just rewards the extortion and results in more extortion. The more important question is, “What will independents do?” |

| #4 interestingly, per the DA's theory, the State of NY and the Federal Govt got more $ by having Trump reimburse Cohen for legal fees than by having Trump just reimburse Cohen for the NDA money given to Stormy. The former was taxable income, the latter was a non taxable reimbursement. So Trump broke the law by rigging the game so Cohen would pay MORE taxes???? |

| #1 It won't. The fix is in. Trump will be found guilty,which is the point of this exercise. Get over people, there is no more US Constitution. It's gone. The law now is whatever the Deep State Sez it is. |
