Trump Critics Slam Looming Indictment as ‘Nonsense’, ‘Partisan,' Say It Will Help Him in 2024
[BREITBART] As former President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......is preparing to be indicted by the Democrat District Attorney of Manhattan Alvin Bragg, some of his critics are slamming the indictment as partisan politics. Andrew McCarthy, former chief assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who has never been a fan of Trump’s, over the weekend blasted Bragg’s case against the former president as "nonsense" and a "blatantly partisan exercise of raw power." "This is a classic, invidious selective prosecution. It is being launched strictly for political purposes," he wrote in a column for the National Review Online. "It is hard to think of anything that will more rile up Trump’s base and anger other Republicans who, regardless of their distaste for Trump, will find this maneuver despicable," he argued. Trump said on social media over the weekend that he believes he will be indicted this week by Bragg. Alan Dershowitz, who is also not a fan of Trump’s but has slammed politicized investigations and impeachments of the former president, wrote recently in the New York Sun: All decent people, whether politically opposed to Mr. Trump (as I am) or supportive of his candidacy, should be concerned about this weaponizing of the prosecutor’s office for the political purpose of preventing a potential candidate from running for office. Nolte: Ben Carson Says Charges Against Trump ‘Absurd, Embarrassing’ [BREITBART] Dr. Ben Carson ...  a neurosurgeon who was under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president....said the idea of arresting and filing charges against former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... is "absolutely absurd" and "embarrassing." Carson, who served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Trump, was interviewed by Newsmax Sunday and did not hold back on the issue. He specifically pointed to Venezuela  ...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...and how quickly that once idyllic country collapsed under this kind of political corruption. "Look how quickly Venezuela changed," he said. "That is high in my thinking because I’ve been there several times when it was a wonderful place to visit, with beautiful resorts and hotels." Carson pointed out that the "biggest thing that people argued about is whether they were the most beautiful people in the world." But once Venezuela’s government became corrupt, Carson said, "they went from ... number one economy in South America to the bottom almost overnight. This is what can happen when you allow these kinds of things." The "these kinds of things" Carson is referring to is the likelihood of George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... -funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg arresting and charging Trump with a campaign finance violation—a misdemeanor charge that in the past has almost always resulted in a fine.
