James' civil case shows how compromised DA Bragg is

[edhopper]

The Manhattan DA dropped the ball, both with the prosecution of TFG and the sweetheart deal to Wiesselberg.
I noticed James didn't refer to the Manhattan DA.

I don't know why, but he doesn't want to prosecute tRump.

1. No one knows why he doesn't want to prosecute...

...but there are some pretty good guesses, I'm sure.

[edhopper]

4. Yes there are

We might find out some day. I hope someone runs against him in the primary and makes it an issue.

[dchill]

5. He serves nothing more.

[intrepidity]

2. Maybe he's a CI for SDNY?

3. Old NYC power networks is why. You never know how they work, but you definitely see the

results of the strings that are pulled.

6. Bragg's lead prosecutors were ready to indict trump but...

he shut the investigation down. That decision smelled then and smells even worse now with all the strong evidence AG James has just revealed...and she made a nod to the SDNY US attorney instead of Bragg, probably because she has her doubts about him.

Bragg suddenly announces his case against trump is still ongoing, but he has no credibility, and is going to have trouble getting re-elected after such a high-profile, public fuck up.

Makes one indeed wonder why he shut the case down initially when he could've been the one to finally nail trump.

[edhopper]

8. Yes

And he disbanded the Grand Jury, his ongoing statement is bullshit.

11. AG James sent criminal referrals to "US prosecutors in Manhattan"

Isn't that Bragg's SDNY?

[Sneederbunk]

12. No. Bragg is NYC DA (state not fed)

SDNY is DOJ.

[Beastly Boy]

13. Got it. Thanks.

[brush]

19. See post 18.

[Sneederbunk]

15. Bragg is the point man while Vance and Morgenthau lurk in the shadows.

[edhopper]

16. Morganthau is dead

And it was Vance who opened the Trump investigation.

[brush]

18. Bragg is Manhattan DA. Each of the 5 boroughs of NYC has its own DA.

[edhopper]

14. Yes

The Southern District New York is Federal, currently that is Damian Williams, appointed by Biden. Trump also violated State laws and should have been prosecuted by the Braggs, Manhattan DA.

[brush]

17. Bragg is Manhattan DA, not US Attorney for SDNY.

Two different entities.
