Bragg Vs. Trump: What If Trump Wins?

Lemme ask you a question. Think there’s any chance that maybe, just maybe, the New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg wasn’t planning to indict Trump? Think that maybe, just maybe Trump decided to jump the gun and predict he would be indicted in order to do some quickie fundraising and move his 2024 campaign into a more active phase?

What makes me entertain such a raft of conspiracies is the ‘truth’ that Trump put up on his social media page which is a rant about how Bragg has no case and is just following the commands of George Soros and the other ‘radical left lunatics’ who are destroying the United States.

Of course, Bragg is constrained from responding to Trump’s noise, but he did send a direct response to Trump’s ass-licking House supporter, Jim Jordan (R-OH) who had earlier demanded that Bragg leave Trump alone and instead focus on prosecuting local crime.

The kid who organized the non-rally for Trump yesterday in front of the Centre Street courthouse made the same point, saying that crime in New York was ‘out of control’ because Bragg was spending all his time and efforts on going after an innocent guy named Trump.

So I checked crime stats for Manhattan last night, and it turns out that for all of 2022, crime in Manhattan went up a whole, big 4% over 2021. But that increase resulted in a change in how cops were deployed in January, with the result that 2023 crime in Manhattan is down some 7% from the same period in 2022.
