Where are your links? Can you prove this? Tribe was a supporter of Alvin Bragg's case. And of course, ever-present-on-MSNBC ex-law professor at Harvard. Tribe called the charges a "normative stretch" and "improper" revival of "zombie" claims, criticizing DA Alvin Bragg for pursuing a case that "should never have been brought" due to weak evidence of intent and overreach in linking to election law. From AI: Constitutional law expert Laurence Tribe did not criticize Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's prosecution of Donald Trump; rather, he was a staunch supporter of the case and its legal theory. News sources show Tribe has defended Bragg and argued that the case was necessary for accountability. Tribe's Stance on the Trump Prosecution Support for the Case: Tribe co-authored an op-ed in December 2023 titled, "Why Alvin Bragg's hush money case is an excellent Plan B for holding Trump accountable," indicating strong approval of the prosecution. Defense of the Legal Theory: After the guilty verdict, Tribe was cited as believing the case successfully proved that Trump committed "34 felonies to win that election," a characterization that reflects his support for the prosecution's "election interference" angle. Criticism of Trump's Attacks: Tribe publicly criticized Donald Trump's behavior toward the District Attorney and the justice system, including a tweet in March 2023 dismissing the defense's threats that indicting Trump would ensure his election as "lame" and "bombastic" bluster. Therefore, the premise that Laurence Tribe criticized Alvin Bragg for bringing the case against Trump is inaccurate based on available information. Tribe was a prominent legal voice supporting the prosecution.

Ok. So what makes these people, assuming you are quoting them correctly, the most competent in the country? I don't think the fact someone is on TV establishes credentials, much less making them the top of their field. It usually just means they are controversial and/or good at self-promoting. Like Alan "I Kept My Underwear On" Dershowitz. As we are seeing with the various grand jury and trial results as the DOJ tries to persecute normal Americans for disloyalty, grand juries wont necessarily indict a ham sandwich and juries don't just go along with bad prosecutions. There has to be real evidence, which Trump got convicted on.
