I may be completely wrong, but I am one of the few people that has mentioned this.

Bragg may be bringing forth charges that nobody on the news is talking about. The news media, experts, are focused on falsifying business records, a misdemeanor in NY. Which they might attempt to charge as a felony. Never been attempted before.

Bragg may have found something else, evidence of another crime, to charge Trump with.

3. I posted about this before. Maybe some kind of tax fraud.

Why would Bragg put his career on the line to reopen a case, he closed, against Trump on just falsifying business records, a misdemeanor in NY. Possibly a felony that has never been tested before in NY.

Like I said, I may be completely wrong. Time will tell.

15. Agreed, it is what he does...threats, attempted pay-offs.

In addition, I feel like Cohen was happy to share lots and lots of Trump’s criminal behavior as well.

People in NY are pissed off with Bragg. If he brings half ass charges against Trump people will see right through it.

you aren't one of the few people, Pomerantz and Dunne were getting ready to indict Trump for numerous felonies. I posted this 8 times.

By William K. Rashbaum, Ben Protess and Jonah E. Bromwich
March 23, 2022
One of the senior Manhattan prosecutors who investigated Donald J. Trump believed that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it was “a grave failure of justice” not to hold him accountable, according to a copy of his resignation letter.

The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted his resignation last month after the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, abruptly stopped pursuing an indictment of Mr. Trump.

Mr. Pomerantz, 70, a prominent former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense lawyer who came out of retirement to work on the Trump investigation, resigned on the same day as Carey R. Dunne, another senior prosecutor leading the inquiry.

I am talking about the Bragg investigation, not past investigations.

7. I'm beginning to think all TFG has ever done in his life is commit crimes.

Just because it's illegal, he probably goes out of his way to jaywalk, tear the tags off mattresses, litter, and park in front of fire hydrants. He's never drawn a legal breath. I have no doubt that other crimes have been discovered; the only question is whether they are prosecutable.

10. Trump's lawyer said the prosecutor was digging up material from decades ago.

With Trump, that could be an endless bucket of crimes.

Jennifer Weisselberg on the Manhattan Trump case: "Something has changed and it's been upleveled"
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217723911

Asked about the investigation outside the DA’s office at 12:30 p.m., Weisselberg told The Daily Beast that “something has changed and it's up-leveled.”

“It’s bigger than any taxes, paper, insurance, banks, insurance… it's bigger than money,” she said.
