CNN Senior Legal Analyst Describes How The Trump Conviction Was A Political Hit Job
"The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation."
Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.”
"Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process."
"The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever."
The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.'
"Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial."
"In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else."
"The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."

I googled it. They copy/pasted this from a tweet by some right wing chud on Twitter.

Figures, point 1 was originally about the Judge's daughter making a political contribution but it's interesting how it got changed in this retelling.
Yeah, the charges of falsifying business documents are so rare in New York. NY has only brought charges 9,800 times since 2015.
Well, what was he falsifying the business records for, then?
Fucking LOL. You cultists are as dumb as fish eating bait off a hook. You will suck anything down. It doesn't even need to make any sense whatsoever.
Everyone notice how not a single thing is cited. This is by design, because they want to make it hard to challenge each and every point. There is obviously zero intent at an honest debate here. It's just something for the people struggling with the cognitive dissonance of believing they are "the party of law an order" while also supporting the only POTUS to ever be tried and convicted of a crime.
TL/DR: A list of made up bullshit.
