Former President Donald Trump is continuing to hit back at what he believes is a malicious prosecution from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The former president posted an all-caps message to his TruthSocial account tearing into the DA and saying that there is no case.
“WHY WON’T BRAGG DROP THIS CASE? EVERYBODY SAYS THERE IS NO CRIME HERE,” Trump said on TRUTH. “I DID NOTHING WRONG! IT WAS ALL MADE UP BY A CONVICTED NUT JOB WITH ZERO CREDIBILITY, WHO HAS BEEN DISPUTED BY HIGHLY RESPECTED PROFESSIONALS AT EVERY TURN. BRAGG REFUSES TO STOP DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. HE IS A SOROS-BACKED ANIMAL WHO JUST DOESN’T CARE ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HURT. THIS IS NO LEGAL SYSTEM, THIS IS THE GESTAPO, THIS IS RUSSIA AND CHINA, BUT WORSE. DISGRACEFUL!” he said.
It comes after a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s attorney surfaced where Cohen took full responsibility for the payoff to porn star Stormy Danials.
“In a private transaction in 2016, before the U.S. presidential election, Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford. Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly,” it said.
That came as reports that Bragg’s office is having issues convincing the grand jury to indict Trump.
‘They are having trouble convincing the jury to swallow the case. It’s a weak case and has caused divisions in the DA’s office,” a source said to The Daily Mail.
And the former president is not the only person who thinks that the case is weak.
“This reminds me of the nor’easters that never come. You know, you board up the windows, you buy a case of Poland Spring, and then it doesn’t show up. I mean, here’s a possibility: Did Trump just prank these morons? Because this really looks like Christmas for morons. You know, he’s the guy who kicked this off, right? The press fell in line. They lapped it up. They had one collective orgasm. They…you could even tell Joe Scarborough, the morning Beavis, he even could tell how stupid he sounded. And I like this case because it did separate the idiots from the intellects. It’s not down party lines at all. It’s like on the right and the left, the people with working brains unclouded by ego or ratings saw it for what it is,” Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said.
“And they’re going, come on, this is like A) the case is flimsier than a $5 umbrella. You do this, you’re going to break new ground. You got crime out of control in New York. There’s something else going on here. So all the smart people knew what was going on. But the other people like Scarborough and Sunny Hostin and Adam Schiff, you can’t really blame them because they are, by science’s definition, idiots. But I think you have to question Bragg’s underlying… What’s his mission?” he said.
“You know, when you cut prosecutions by 25%, while murders rise 51% and shootings rise 100%, but he chooses to upgrade a misdemeanor to a felony for the president while downgrading felonies to misdemeanors for violent criminals. I mean, this dude gets fan mail from Rikers. He’s got more blood on his hands than the Wuhan market. So I think that he’s deliberately trying to turn the system inside out. You know, he’s reinventing it as a prosecution arm for the hard left, which it should be pretty chilling to everybody because no one is safe if he could do this,” he said.
And Larry Kudlow of Fox News said that Bragg is “in danger of being overruled by his own grand jury. Why?
“Well, in yesterday’s grand jury testimony, lawyer Bob Costello, who used to represent Trump lawyer turned arch-nemesis Michael Cohen, destroyed Cohen’s credibility. Cohen, of course, is already a convicted perjurer and Costello told the grand jury that Bragg withheld important email evidence that would’ve destroyed the idea that Cohen was representing Trump with respect to payments to Stormy Daniels or anything else to Stormy Daniels,” he said.
