The Democratic Party has been accused of misusing the criminal justice system to aid in the reelection of President Joe Biden. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg recently put Stormy Daniels on the stand to discuss a past sexual encounter with former President Donald Trump. Bragg has charged Trump with falsifying business records, claiming that money was paid to keep Daniels silent before the 2016 election.
Paying for someone’s silence is not illegal, but Bragg alleges that Trump falsely recorded these payments in his business records. This minor offense should have been charged within two years, but Bragg extended the statute of limitations by adding an intent to commit another crime. However, the indictment fails to specify which crime Trump intended to commit or conceal.
Critics suggest that Trump is being prosecuted for using hush money to influence the election, but if that were the case, many politicians, including the Clintons, would also be guilty. Additionally, it was Trump’s accountants, not him, who categorized the payments as legal expenses, trying to keep accurate records.
The trial is further marred by Judge Juan Merchan, a Biden donor, who has silenced Trump and threatened him with fines and jail time for speaking out. This biased treatment raises questions about the fairness of the trial and the role of the judiciary in silencing political opponents.
Overall, the trial appears to be politically motivated and lacking in objectivity. The Democrats may have underestimated the impact of their actions, as they risk turning Trump into a martyr with their flimsy prosecution. It would be wise for the prosecutor to dismiss the case promptly to avoid further damage to their own credibility.
