Alvin Bragg has nothing to brag about over his Trump indictment: he's in trouble

Alvin Bragg was the first to indict former President Donald Trump, and it's obvious the motivation behind his state-level charges for mis-categorizing a hush money deal with Stephanie Clifford [aka Stormy Daniels] was for political gain, but it's looking more and more like he stepped on a rake.

In April of this year the rotund Manhattan District Attorney moved to elevate a little misdemeanor that had already passed the statute of limitations to a felony. Bragg tried to paint a picture that Trump had committed the misdemeanor in order to hide another crime regarding a federal campaign finance law. The word 'federal' should alert the savvy reader to realize that Bragg has no jurisdiction over federal matters. And to make matters rake-worthy, the Department of Justice, the branch of government that deals with federal matters, has already decided not to go after Trump because it's more of a joke than a crime. After all, what husband with the money Trump has, wouldn't use it to cover up an infidelity?

But Bragg is a braggart and didn't care about protocol and declared victory for his weird legal move. [Fun Fact": Alvin Bragg got his law license from a box of Cracker Jacks.] What Alvin wanted was political clout and he got great press pieces and cable news kudos because who there doesn't hate them some Trump? 

So Bragg figured that he was on his way to a brighter public future.

That was then, this is now. 

Like the swing of the pendulum lowering toward his throat, Bragg sees trouble ahead.

While flagging his 3/24 2024 trial date, he said that "if and when" another indictment or indictments come, "we'll see what happens to the schedule. We have a firm trial date …[but] in matters like this, you know, judges will … confer & take a very broad lens on justice." 2/

Hey, Jack Smith, if you're listening and if your latest target letter materializes into something more concrete, you might want to give Alvin Bragg a call over the next several weeks. . . . FIN

Here's the deal: Bragg's filings out of the myriad filed or to be filed, is a loser, as Trump would say. It will likely fail and Bragg will likely gain more weight. And worse for him, if his filing fails, Trump will look triumphant in the eyes of the public and Alvin will look like a chip monk lost and alone.

The federal cases, win or lose, are much stronger than his case, if in fact it's legal in the first place. Bragg is scheduled to take the case to court in March of next year, as scheduled, but he has an excellent chance of losing and/or being laughed out of the building. So he's now suggesting that he's willing to delay the case out of a “broad look at what justice requires.” 

But the smart money is on Bragg ending the case in the future while he still uses it to look tough, and bow out gracefully if and when the feds convict Trump. Then he can brag that he was the first to the courthouse.

Alvin Bragg is despicable, execrable and diagnosable.
