It seems Bragg is shutting down investigation into Trump for good

[Bev54]

He is returning evidence back to the witnesses.

He was lying before and many of us thought that.

[Skittles]

1. they need to start investigating HIM

[Meowmee]

2. Very suspicious

I hope the 2 who resigned kept separate documentation of everything.

[Karma13612]

3. What the heck???

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

SOMEONE’S got some explaining to do!!!!!

[moondust]

4. Obstruction?

~
Obstruction can include crimes committed by judges, prosecutors, attorneys general, and elected officials in general.

[Bev54]

6. Somebody needs to get in there fast. I wonder how long this has been going on

no doubt the entire time that he was telling everyone that the investigation is proceeding.

[gab13by13]

5. I think he was threatened,

it's how mobsters operate.

If the criminal case is over then Trump has no excuse to not give his deposition in the civil case since it won't interfere with the criminal investigation.

[Bev54]

7. Then my guess would be it was before he even took office. He stopped things

within a couple of weeks of taking over.

[dchill]

9. He was the candidate SOMEONE wanted.

And someone got.

[SergeStorms]

27. You have to wonder if Cy Vance....

was in on this too. I seem to remember him letting Trump slip away once before without even a slap on the wrist, and then receiving a big, fat campaign contribution afterward.

[dchill]

8. What an incredible sellout.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

10. What an enabler,criminal and coward

Bragg is.

[OneBro]

11. My guess is extortion.

Surely it would be too difficult to hide the size of a bribe that would be worth the risk, but extortion based on skeletons in the closet . . . that’ll do it.

[Stuart G]

12. It ain't over till it is over. And it ain't over!!!

Something about lying to Congress, and other authorities. You think that NY City Atty was the only one Trump &
mop lied to?

...What about inciting a riot in Washington D.C.?..so on and so forth.
....That is what I think, and I am sticking to it. This top prosecutor might end up having some stories to tell.
....and guess what, someone might tell those stories on him..,

The guy in Psycho was named ... Norman Bates

And Bragg is Close to Bates. You never know...

[dem4decades]

15. It's so over. Bragg, Mueller, the Cohen investigation, DOJ, he's free.

The whole lot of them, free, Bannon, Flynn, Meadows, Stone, all free. The only ones not free is us. The poor saps that actually thought something was going to happen, we're trapped in our misery.

[Hekate]

13. Between NYC's new Mayor and their new AG, this outsider can only say: WTAF?

[oasis]

14. This "amateur hour" slieght of hand rates a ton of media scrutiny.

Let's see how it gets handled.

[Stuart G]

16. "Amateur Hour:...correct. and "scrutiny" is also correct. ...Many ways to "catch a crook"..

...and Trump is a "crook" An arrogant spoiled crook who thinks he is "above the law."

We will see in the long run. Indicting a former President of the U.S. is not easy and it is harder to convict..
.... But time will tell.

NY Attorney General Letitia James may be the answer. We will find out. Secure indictments take time.
If you indict, then you want to be sure that guilt is found by a jury. Getting that proof of guilt is not easy, and that
takes time. I would guess if James is going to indict, that all the pieces of the indictment must beyond dispute, and
conviction is extremely likely. That is why I think she is taking so much time.

But, I could be wrong, and we will find out in a few months.

[oasis]

21. Hopefully, prosecutors/plaintiffs will hound Trump until the end of his days.

No peace for him and his cronies.

[Bev54]

18. I am so missing Rachel Maddow right now.

There is so much for her to get into the weeds on between this and Ginni Thomas.

[Stuart G]

22. ..Didn't Rachel say she would return? After a break in time? I read that somewhere. I really

don't know.

[Bev54]

26. Yes but I can't remember, I thought she said 2 weeks but obviously that was wrong

Somebody said 6 weeks, but damn we need her.

[Poiuyt]

17. Two people running for NY governor are pledging to replace Bragg

[Bev54]

19. I hope that will push Hochul to do something now.

[roamer65]

20. Sex traffickers have a LOT of kompromat.

Sad, but true.

[Duncan Grant]

23. Want to suppress voter turnout? Don't prosecute Trump.

Seriously.

[Bev54]

24. I agree.

[spudspud]

32. I really don't think the Dems realize how major a clusterf*ck this is going to be for the midterms..

[LogicFirst]

25. One word: UNBELIEVABLE

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Trump evidence is being returned to witnesses by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg: report

Link to tweet

[L. Coyote]

29. Both the state of New York and the DoJ can step up.

They can also investigate this kind of corruption.

[ymetca]

30. Yeah, we should have

burned Wall Street down to the ground when we had the chance, instead of bailing those criminals out.

His crimes probably opened up an ugly pit of intertwined wheelers and dealers doing even worse stuff.

[cstanleytech]

31. Smells like hell. nt
