The Challenge: The arraignment of former President Donald Trump for 34 counts of falsifying enterprise information.

Stab somebody, and Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg will plead it down (“Trumped up,” April 5).

Rape somebody, and Alvin will plead it down. Rob somebody, and Alvin will plead it down.

Alvin appears to have adopted the revolving-door system of justice: Arrest them and switch them free. That’s the Alvin method. The one method you may actually get into bother in Manhattan is to disagree with Alvin’s political agenda.

It appears to me that Alvin is unleashing a voracious monster by politicizing the judicial system.

If Alvin doesn’t like your politics, he’ll search his regulation books till he can discover one thing he can prosecute you for.

Bragg is a shame to justice. He permits murderers and thieves to roam the streets unabated however spares no expense to prosecute Trump for what’s, at worst, a misdemeanor.

The witch hunt continues.

For years now, Democrats and their coat-holders within the liberal media have sanctimoniously positioned themselves as champions and defenders of American democracy and its cherished norms, traditions and establishments.

However the indictment of former President Donald Trump reveals that Democrats do much more to hurt than to defend this stuff.

Make no mistake about it: Bragg’s grotesque perversion of justice designed to kneecap a political enemy has plunged America into what could also be its very darkest days.

Certainly, this politically motivated stunt orchestrated by the left is however the newest proof that the best threats to our democracy and our cherished norms and establishments have come not from the rise of Trump, however somewhat the response to it.

No matter political affiliation, any cheap individual can simply surmise that it is a contorted indictment to meet Bragg’s marketing campaign promise to get Trump.

Bragg is an unprincipled, radical district lawyer who has manipulated the state penal regulation to align along with his grossly misguided prison justice beliefs.

In doing so, he’s executing a political vendetta in opposition to Trump. All of the whereas, he permits hardened criminals to prey on law-abiding New Yorkers with impunity.

One factor that Bragg has confirmed past an inexpensive doubt is {that a} two-tiered system of justice is in full play on this nation.

This fiery hatred the Democrats have for Trump goes to start out a sequence of occasions that will likely be onerous to cease. Now any former president, together with Democrats, would be the topic of intense authorized scrutiny — and that is simply incorrect.

What individual ready of energy hasn’t paid somebody to signal a non-disclosure settlement? Sadly, there are actually in our nation people who peddle these preparations for no different cause than to extort excessive quantities of cash from those that would somewhat pay than have their names dragged by means of the mud.

President Invoice Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, however wasn’t faraway from workplace or despatched to jail.

President Barack Obama used the IRS to harass Tea Get together teams. It’s no secret in Washington that President Biden’s household used his identify to rake in questionable thousands and thousands abroad. Gov. Andrew Cuomo used new York state employees to assist write his guide, but nonetheless retains a $5 million price.

Whereas Republican Trump is indicted, and possibly with trigger, all of the above people and companies acquired away and are getting away with this conduct. The widespread thread is they’re all Democrats.

Our Structure is being shredded, and a majority of Individuals don’t care so long as their celebration wins an election. Woman Liberty’s torch grows dimmer by the hour.
