Here's Why Alvin Bragg's Case Against Donald Trump Is Collapsing
2024-04-27
[PJ] District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump was always weak if not meritless. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing a felony case for a low-level misdemeanor that normally would have resulted in a fine that was also past the statute of limitations.

Be that as it may, Bragg’s weak case has taken some real hits on Friday, as the testimony of David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, has been devastating for the prosecution. In fact, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, Bragg’s case is now "collapsing on its own weight."

"They have a witness who was disassembling in front of them," Turley told Fox News on Friday. "You know, the prosecution never revealed to the jury in the direct that Pecker actually had killed stories for other celebrities that he had been working on stories two decades before the election with Trump that he was suppressing."

This is particularly helpful to Trump’s case because it means that the prosecution can't directly link Trump’s efforts to quash the Stormy Daniels story to the election.

"And now it's only getting worse," Turley continued. "Yesterday was really bad in terms of the cross-examination for the prosecution. Today is much worse."

#4  "RNC Chair Michael Whatley: Every Day Trump Is in the Courtroom, His Campaign Contributions Spike"

"What we've seen, though, is that every day that President Trump has been in court, he's been getting a million dollars or more in small-dollar donations that are coming in online…Joe Biden's team has a lead because they've been in the White House for four years. We have been making up ground very fast, and we will absolutely have the resources that we need to be able to get our message out to the American voters."

#3  Even MSM are beginning to question this case's merit. But no matter as long as it keeps Trump off the campaign trail and costs him a bundle.

#1  Free media publicity for the Orange Man. Bragg's case is having the opposite of the desired effect, but the Deep State is too stupid and eaten up with Trump Derangement Syndrome to realize their error.
