Alvin Bragg's End Run Around the Constitution

21 Mar 2023 ~~ By Don Brown

Another Soros-funded Democrat prosecutor takes aim at President Donald Trump.
Fearing they cannot legitimately beat him at the ballot box, they resort to open, politically motivated lawfare to keep him out of office.
We’ve endured four years of Mueller's failed "Russia Gate" hoax, two failed, politically driven impeachment trials from radical House Democrats in Congress driven by Nancy Pelosi, not to mention the highly-partisan “January 6” Committee that failed to call a single witness adverse to their pre-cooked “it-was-an-insurrection” narrative, and a host of other Trump-related political prosecutions.
But now, this weekend's announcement from President Trump that he expects to be indicted on Tuesday in Manhattan forecasts the most radical tactic yet that the Democrats will use to block Trump's return to power: lawfare with unfounded charges in the criminal courts.
Let’s be clear. The feds have already declined to prosecute anything surrounding Trump's civil settlement with Stormy Daniels. Perhaps that is because confidentiality clauses are part of millions of civil settlements in lawsuits around the country every day. I’ve seen hundreds in my own career as a civil litigator.
In other words, nothing to see here.

Said Dershowitz, “When I was coming of age in the 1950s Southern prosecutors would target civil rights workers and search for any possible violation of the law, no matter how technical. If they discovered or invented a violation, they would indict, prosecute, convict and sentence the target… That, precisely, is what we are now seeing with the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, targeting the former president and current candidate, Donald Trump.”
Georgetown constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, also a Democrat and also a political opponent of the president, says that Bragg is “outside of his lane,” for trying to concoct a federal crime against Pres. Trump that the feds already declined to prosecute.
Professors Dershowitz and Turley are both dead on.
~Snip~
Constitutionally, not even a Bragg-manufactured “felony conviction” can stop Trump from serving again. But that won’t stop the Left from fighting to keep Trump off the ballots in these states. Why should the Constitution stand in their way?
Thus, if Bragg’s felony conviction scheme succeeds, a likelihood considering no Republican, and especially not Trump, can get a fair trial in New Woke City, the Trump campaign should sue in federal court in each of these states, for declaratory judgment. Trump should argue that no state law, and no federal law, if one existed, can block him from seeking the presidency, or appearing on the ballot, regardless of Democrat Bragg’s lawfare strategy currently underway in the criminal courts in Manhattan.
State legislatures must rein in out-of-control political prostitute prosecutors like Alvin Bragg, who abuse their offices to advance a political end-game. In the meantime, rest assured that the Constitution will not allow him to succeed in the scheme.

Commentary:
According to Johnathan Turley, in NYC what Trump did is a misdemeanor and has a two year statue of limitation with it. Bragg is trying to use a federal law which has a seven year limitation on it but he cannot prosecute a federal law in NYC. He is trying to make his NYC crime somehow part of a federal crime. The feds looked at this crime and threw it out because they knew it wasn't a good suit. There is no precedent for this and it most likely will be thrown out by an honest judge.
The goal of Maoist Democrats is to never allow this man to be in a position of power again, not even a crossing guard. Their lies and attempts to convict Trump of something, anything has failed miserably.
So, no arrest warrant issued yet, Frustrating Maoist DSA Democrats:

State/County District Attorney's don't prosecute federal crimes. Any Federal crime violation is turned over for prosecution by United States District Attorney's.

If the Manhattan DA files charged based on the Manhattan Grand Jury results, those charges will be based off of New York State Campaign Finance Laws and New York State Business Law.

Just say'n.

The Feds have already passed on prosecution of FEC violations by Trump.
NY State law has a two-year statute of limitation. Bra is far out over is skies on this.

Fed's passing on Fed Law has nothing to do with a State/County DA charging under State Law.

The SOL for two years applies to misdemeanors, if the FPOTUS is charged with felony New York campaign law and business law violations, the SOL (IIRC) is 5 years. However there is a provision in New York law that periods of time that the person is outside the state (and therefore can't be arrested) can extend the SOL time.


30.10.4(a)

(a) Any period following the commission of the offense during which
(i) the defendant was continuously outside this state or (ii) the
whereabouts of the defendant were continuously unknown and continuously
unascertainable by the exercise of reasonable diligence. However, in no
event shall the period of limitation be extended by more than five years
beyond the period otherwise applicable under subdivision two.

For any periods where the FPOTUS was living in D.C. or in FL and not physically present in NY state, then the SOL gets extended. One of the important words between "(i)" and "(ii)" is "or" meaning either condition can result in an extension.

Maybe waiting for the indictment before claiming it false or overblown would be wise.
 
I guess we can now add "states rights" to the long, long, long list of principles the New Right has defenestrated on behalf of their Dear Leader.
