ABCs of Bragg’s BS

Andrew McCarthy, former NY US attorney known for prosecuting the blind sheik, has a great article analyzing the Bragg case against Tump. Regardless of your feelings about Trump, it appears that Bragg is far from practicing fair and impartial justice. There are numerous flaws in the legal case Bragg is bringing against Trump.

(a) the payment was not technically a campaign expenditure

(b) federal spending restrictions did not apply to Trump

(c) assuming arguendo that Trump had a disclosure obligation, the lack of regulatory disclosure cannot possibly have influenced the outcome of the 2016 election since no disclosure would have been required prior to the election

(d) no authority to enforce federal election law

(e) a single instance of dubious bookkeeping carved it into 34 felonies

(f) The penal statute requires the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the record entry was false AND with intent to defraud - no one defrauded. State actually received more in taxes
