Stop saying the NY case is too small and a political problem. Clinton was charged, impeached on a

charge of sex in the Oval Office with a consenting adult. His crime was lying under oath...not sex. Trump actually paid hush money to a woman to avoid harming his run for President. He wasn't President then, he isn't President now. Indict his ass!

according to Barbara McQuade. She used the example of a councilman taking a bribe to give someone a contract and he gets caught. It does him no good to say, well I was going to vote that way anyway. A bribe is a bribe.

The charge against Clinton wasn't big enough to get him convicted.

If Bragg doesn't charge Trump with a felony, even if he convicts him, he won't get any jail time. Bragg has to charge Trump with a felony like campaign finance violations - 4 years in jail. Pomerantz had evidence to charge Trump with several felonies.

The case is good against Trump to charge him with a felony, we are on the same page. What people like me are saying is Bragg can't just indict Trump for lying about why he paid Michael Cohen 130k dollars, a misdemeanor.

or you know, the invisible hand of the market …

The invisible hand is a metaphor for how, in a free market economy, self-interested individuals operate through a system of mutual interdependence. This interdependence incentivizes producers to make what is socially necessary, even though they may care only about their own well-being.

because of refusal to take action during covid, selling out to Putin, etc etc.

Yep nabbing Trump for lying about paying off one hooker sounds like the right punishment.

If we just have patience, just envision all of the trials Trump is going to have to go to.

1. Letitia James - coming up shortly.
2. E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit coming up shortly, next month I believe.
3. Alvin Bragg
4. Fani Willis
5. Jack Smith

Just blast MF45 with all of those, rapid fire.
