You would think that just because the "law" charges you with a crime, it must be true. As a matter of fact, it's quite different in reality. You can be charged in a variety of ways, some legitimate and lawful, others questionable, and for many reasons. Trying something non-legal can be done by pitching your idea to someone in power and hoping someone takes it on.
In this case, Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg was chosen for many reasons. Bragg is inflating a relatively minor offense into a felony so he can launch his own re-election campaign. He might even be able to get support from groups of people who think this is fine (people who do not understand how politicians manipulate people). In addition, Bragg's campaign was heavily financed by George Soros, one of the Democratic party's biggest financial supporters. Although they claim that Soros did not directly donate to Alvin Bragg's campaign, billionaire financier George Soros did donate to a PAC that supported the Manhattan DA, so the connection is more than obvious.
Also handpicked by this biased DA is New York County Supreme Court judge Juan Manuel Merchan, who is overseeing a criminal case against a close ally of the former president, Steve Bannon, charged with fraud and money laundering. Bannon is accused of fraud and money laundering in connection with a charity that was supposed to contribute to building a wall on the border. Not to mention that Merchan and Trump have crossed paths in the past. He was the same judge in charge of the tax fraud case against Trump’s company and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg.
Most New York political aspirants enjoy the spotlight, and he has taken over several headline-making stories purposefully to gain fame and popularity. Merchan for example, oversaw the real-life case underlying the 2021 Lifetime movie “Soccer Mom Madam,” among other examples.
To top it of, let me introduce you to Loren Merchan, the 34-year-old-daughter who has a history of working for Democratic politicians including Vice President Kamala Harris and California Representative Adam Schiff.
She is currently president of Authentic Campaigns, a consulting firm that counts Biden-Harris and California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom among its clients.
In other words, it's like the Yankees inviting the Red Sox to play a baseball game in New York, with an umpire team hand picked by Steinbrenner and they were all part of the Yankees organization. I doubt the MLB would ever allow something like that.
This is a political prosecution and a clear attempt to block Trump's upcoming and imminent presidential campaign in 2024. In my opinion, this will benefit the accused party, and only amplify his already populist movement, giving him more votes in the 2024 election that will be far too overwhelming for them to manipulate. We will have to wait and see whether I'm right or wrong.
