Wharfie, Why would he want to do that? I'm starting to think that the Dems are playing political chess here. By making Bragg pursue an indictment over charges that, like Bill said, amount to record-keeping violations, they can bait the Republicans into backing Trump out of sympathy over a "witch hunt." Then they can push the Georgia indictment, which I believe would carry more political weight than hush money to a pron star. It won't be as shocking, but it will likely be more important in reminding the public who is against our democratic institutions. That potential Georgia indictment will make the GOP cling even closer to Trump and force them to support someone who is melting down in plain sight. Then when 2024 becomes Trump vs. Brandon again, people will choose the relative stability of a geriatric puppet over the uncertainty of a ticking orange time bomb. The trick here is to get the geriatric puppet over the finish line without him either stumbling too much, or cutting the strings. That and, of course, gaslighting the public into believing that high inflation, high crime, high deficits, and prolonged recessionary pressures are the "new normal." Tenchusatsu

Charlie Kirk recently had lawyer Alan Dershowitz on The Charlie Kirk show and asked him if there was any chance the lawyer would join former President Trump’s legal team amid the charges that the former president falsified business records. Kirk kicked off the segment by suggesting that Dershowitz could get Trump’s case dismissed “very quickly,” but this was apparently not the lawyer’s opinion. Dershowitz started off by saying that he has a policy of “only representing somebody once and so I’m not a lawyer, but I would certainly be happy to participate in the court of public opinion.” Dershowitz went on to suggest that Trump’s case will likely not be dismissed, saying that “I don’t think that if you had the best lawyers in the history of the world, Abraham Lincoln and John Marshall, a New York City judge would dismiss this case because that New York City judge’s life would be over.” The lawyer said that the judge would be mocked if he or she were to dismiss Trump. Dershowitz continued by saying that he does think Trump will be convicted by “your jury who voted for Bragg.” However, he added that the case would “be reversed on appeal,” and it “will never be affirmed all the way up to the Supreme Court.” The lawyer’s comments come after Trump has been charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, which carries with it a maximum jail sentence of 136 years. However, that did not stop Trump from speaking at Mar-a-Lago after his arraignment, saying that the “fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election.” humanevents.com
