Alvin Bragg’s witch hunt is on life support after the election.
He’s trying to use every trick in the book to keep it alive.
And Alvin Bragg is seeing double after his anti-Trump witch hunt got hit with the ultimate truth haymaker.
ESPN talking head slams Bragg for refusing to throw in the towel
Democrat Judge Juan Merchan paused the sentencing for President-elect Donald Trump’s criminal case after the outcome of the election.
Trump’s legal team argued that the case should be dismissed.
Soros-backed Manhattan Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued that sentencing should be postponed until 2029 when Trump leaves the White House.
Bragg filed a motion with the court urging Merchan to use an abatement in the case.
Under New York law, an abatement is typically used when a defendant dies after being convicted by a jury before they’re sentenced.
Trump would have a record of being convicted but not sentenced in the sham Bragg case under an abatement.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith slammed Bragg for wasting taxpayer money on the Trump case on his podcast.
“When I see Attorney Bragg in New York trying to convince the judge and the courts to treat Donald Trump as if he’s deceased, as if he has died, just to make sure that your convictions on those 34 felony accounts remains a part of the record, it just shows another level of patheticness, if that is such a word, that creeps in,” Smith declared.
Bragg tries to salvage his case after it failed to have a political impact
Smith told Bragg to give it up and accept that he lost.
“Once again, you can’t let it go,” Smith said. “He is the President-elect of the United States of America.”
“And January 20th, he is going to be the President of the United States, and you want to sit up here and waste taxpayer dollars and literally go before the courts to do everything you can to make his conviction a matter of record, knowing he ain’t going to get any jail time,” Smith continued. “You’re not going to be able to incarcerate him. You’re not going to be able to fine him. Sir, it’s over. It’s over. Democrats, it’s over. It’s over.”
Bragg has been trying to use every legal maneuver possible to keep the guilty verdict against Trump upheld and the possibility of jail time alive.
He wants Judge Merchan to sentence Trump to jail in 2029 when the President-elect is a private citizen again.
There’s a very good reason that Bragg is fighting tooth and nail to keep the Trump case alive.
He was first elected in 2021 after he ran on a platform of getting Trump.
Bragg watched his politically motivated case that was designed to help Democrats win the Presidential election backfire on him.
Now, he has to run for re-election as Manhattan District Attorney next year and the political winds have shifted.
Voters nationally have turned on soft-on-crime prosecutors like Bragg.
Bragg failed in his promise of getting Trump and inadvertently helped re-elect him with his overreach.
Manhattan has seen crime surge under his watch after he refused to prosecute violent criminals.
Alvin Bragg could face a tough re-election in 2025 after his disastrous stint as Manhattan District Attorney.
