'Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe called it “an indictment of Alvin Bragg” and said that “legitimate law schools will forever use this indictment to teach the concept of prosecutorial abuse of discretion.”
Across the judicial spectrum, in both sides of the aisle, the overall consensus is this case will never go to trial, may not make it to the next hearing...
RedState’s Nick Arama has had Alvin Bragg’s number for quite some time, predicting that

I am sorry, but your source does not support the claim, "across the political spectrum". Every single lawyer quoted has a well known conservative background. And Jennifer Van Laar is the managing editor of Redstate, does not have a law degree, and only legal experience is 20 years as a court reporter, LOL. But a couple of points from your article,
There are 34 charges of “Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree” that say “defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof, made and caused a false entry.” Then, the difference is entries in invoices, a ledger, or checks between February and December 2017. So it doesn’t even outline if there are different transactions, it could all be one incident alleged to be covered up if you read this.
No, it can't be just one incident, and yes, it specifically outlines each transaction with a ledger number, an invoice, or a check number. Is the Trump organization in the habit of creating mulitple ledger transactions for one transaction? You can see both the indictment and the Statement of Facts here,
Donald Trump appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday afternoon to be arraigned on criminal charges

That is pretty funny. Red State actually posts the Scribd posting of both knowing full well you yahoos ain't going to bother to read it. But here is the part that even a damn former court reporter should know better.
. It doesn’t specifically note in the indictment what the underlying crime is that’s supposed to justify this. But if it’s an alleged federal election issue discussed in the statement of facts, that’s a big problem since that would have to be pursued in a federal court.
I mean that is helluva stupid. No, federal charges do not have to have been filed, nor do they have to be filed. Hell, that is why they falsified business records, to COVER UP THE DAMN CRIME. So no damn wonder no federal charges have been filed. Now, if Trump is convicted on any of these charges the federal courts made take another look at it, but rather they do is not germane to this case and Trump's lawyers should have enough sense not to make that stupid ass argument. Although I don't know, they have shown themselves to pretty damn inept over the last couple of years.
