A New York Times story about how the Manhattan DA office’s big investigation into Trump fell apart is framed as “career prosecutors shut down by newly elected DA.”
However, as you read on, it’s obviously not the case. The truth is that after years of what we see as a witch hunt, they didn’t have a case. It was far more than a disagreement with the new district attorney Alvin Bragg. In fact, it wasn’t that at all.
The prosecutors, Mark F. Pomerantz and Carey R. Dunne, who spent years trying to build a case against Mr. Trump, detailed their strategy for proving that Donald J. Trump knew his annual financial statements were works of fiction.
There wasn’t much time and they wanted Donald Trump charged before the grand jury expires in the Spring.
Mr. Bragg and his senior aides grilled the two prosecutors on the evidence. Soon after the meeting, Pomerantz and Dunne resigned because Bragg wasn’t going any further at that time based on the lack of evidence.
It wasn’t just a case of the new DA disagreeing because he was embroiled in controversy as we’ve heard. Others felt the same way. Three prosecutors resigned over it and others expressed their concerns.
According to The Times, Mr. Bragg was not the only one to question the strength of the case, the interviews show. Late last year, three career prosecutors in the district attorney’s office opted to leave the investigation, uncomfortable with the speed at which it was proceeding and with what they maintained were gaps in the evidence. The tension spilled into the new administration, with some career prosecutors raising concerns directly to the new district attorney’s team.
Mr. Bragg was particularly concerned about relying on the testimony of known serial liar Mchael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, who was given a three years plus prison sentence for lying and couldn’t stop lying even after he was caught.
The new Manhattan DA couldn’t see how they could prove Mr. Trump deliberately misled on the value of his property.
The investigation will continue again under new leadership. There will be pressure to charge Mr. Trump.
The real reason… They had NOTHING
Keep in mind that this case was over the President’s tax records as a private citizen. Let’s say that there was evidence that the future President cheated on his taxes from 2005 through 2010. Not only would have it been a big story, it would have sent Donald Trump to the big house instead of the White House. Heck, Donald Trump would have been one of the stories in the 2008 financial crisis.
Let’s say is not evidence in any courtroom
As a candidate, Trump very specifically told us (those of us paying attn, that is) that his businesses used LEGAL loopholes baked into U.S. tax laws. as everyone who can afford a tax attorney does. He then asked rhetorically, “Should I (or anyone) be *allowed* to do it?”
If Jessy Scholl thinks the wealthy should not be able to loophole their tax bills, Jessy Scholl should petition Congress to CLOSE those loopholes in tax laws.
If people take the word of the mainstream media for granted, they are listening to the REAL enemy of America!
So moving on to the next “Orange man bad” witch hunt?

There is NO Reason to go after him….They MADE IT ALL UP!!!!! Just the same as they have done throughout his entire Presidency, & before. As they continue to do…You would think they have something better to do….BUT….Obama n Biden just can’t stop trying to make Trump look bad, They’re SO Jealous of Him it’s ridiculous….They really need to get a life…..
Too bad they can’t start cleaning up their own back yard and quit trying to tear down a good person that has don’t good for our nation and never took a dime from our government. Worked outstanding as a President and never took a salary but gave it back to the government. How much do they give except lies and trying to destroy us!
