Bill Barr, the former United States attorney general, slammed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for leading the indictment of former President Donald Trump. On Thursday, the Manhattan grand jury voted to indict the former president.

Trump is reported to be facing 34 different counts related to business fraud.

On Friday, speaking with the former assistant US attorney of the Southern District of New York, Andrew McCarthy, Barr described the charges as a “political hit job.”

“It’s the archetypal abuse of the prosecutorial function to engage in a political hit job, and it’s a disgrace.”

“And legally, I think … from what I understand, it’s a pathetically weak case,” the former US attorney general added.

The case is “the epitome of the abuse of prosecutorial power to bring a case that would not be brought against anyone else. They are going after the man, not a crime. And the legal theory, frankly, is pathetically weak,” Barr contested.

It is reported the former president will appear in court on Tuesday, April 4th, at 2:15 PM EST. Trump refused a virtual appearance, the Guardian reported.

“Trump’s increasing insistence that he wants to be handcuffed behind his back for a perp walk appears to come from various motivations, including that he wants to project defiance in the face of what he sees as an unfair prosecution and that it would galvanize his base for his 2024 presidential campaign.”

Politicians should be held to a higher, not lower standard. They are Leaders in our country in name only.

Interesting that the MAGA crowd as condemned these charges - even though they are unknown charges.

All we have is a rumor of 34 counts of fraud (hfs - 34 counts??), but the tacked is that any accusations is an “abuse of power”. So for MAGA, there seems to be no standard of justice where Trump is concerned.

Give him his day in court just like the rest of us. What’s the bfd?

Don't know if Nixon or Agnew every had any relationship with a porn star or ever bragged about grabbing women by the puzsszy .

Then again, grabbing women by the puzsszy does play well to his base. Getting arrested for paying puzsszy to shut up is more (pardon the upcoming pun) the kind of red meat his base craves.

All he needs is a rape charge and he ill ensure he becomes Emperor of America with 45% of the popular vote.

The Bidens may be as guilty and nefarious as can be.
Trump may be as innocent as an alter boy.

They both deserve due process, and while we have seen that impeachment at the federal level is more political than anything else, our subject here is about state charges. I hope this is and will be about the laws of the State of New York. And justice should be blind - whomever stands accused.

Yes, the “truth” matters to me. But we are talking about the law - which in an entirely different book.

It's such a strange world we live in...

The people who support Trump are largely anti mrna vax, yet he was the one that ok'd and pushed the vax, along with the govt tyranny, when he was CEO of the United States Corporation. They love him though.

On the flip side of the coin is the Branch Covidians. They can't get boosted enough, but they hate Trump. Trump hooked yall up with the tyranny that you need, why put him in prison now?

I dont want to church this up anymore than I have to, so I'll just say 98.2 percent of you guys are fooking idiots.


Hope you all have a handmade premium spring--get out and enjoy the nice weather.

Controversial Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is lavishly spending tax dollars to prosecute former President Donald Trump on what critics call politically motivated charges — while giving a career criminal a measly $1 bail.

Rodney Johnson, 53, who has nearly 90 busts on his rap sheet and two state prison stints under his belt, had his felony robbery charges knocked down to slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanors by Bragg’s office last week, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Johnson skipped out on a court-ordered intervention program three times on a 2021 felony robbery case.

But the criminal was handed just $1 bail on the latest charges, records show. It wasn’t clear on Tuesday whether the suspect had made bail.
