Former President Donald Trump made history today in a way that only his Democrat detractors could be proud of, as the George Soros-led Manhattan District Attorney made good on a campaign promise to prosecute the beloved leader of the anti-establishment MAGA movement.
As Trump was in a seemingly longer than average arraignment on 34 counts conjured up by the DA to “get him,” one of such charges being a felony, news broke from that hearing that rightfully angered Republicans.
What’s historical is not just the fact that a former president and current candidate for president in 2024, it’s the fact that if convicted on all counts, Trump could face up to 136 years in prison. The raging left would love to see such an outcome despite the destruction it would do to the democracy of our country.
Legal experts have said that if a single charge isn’t strong enough to stand on its own, then piling charges upon charges up should result in the desired outcome a prosecutor is hoping for. Perhaps this is why Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg brought forth so many counts against former President Donald Trump, that when added up, would result in an astronomical prison sentence.
According to Mediaite, the maximum sentence he could face if convicted of all 34 felony counts against him is 136 years.
Proving this to be the political prosecution that it is, is that, in New York City, under Bragg, violent criminals may not be prosecuted at all, while payments to adult film stars could land someone in prison for 134 years based on how they reported the payments.
Although a sentence of this type is unlikely, and prosecutors are unlikely to ask for it, but its existence as a possibility is staggering.
After various parts of the former president’s indictment were leaked over the weekend, the former president posted a message on his TruthSocial account on Monday calling for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to “indict himself.”
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me. I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF. He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump-Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!” he said.
“D.A. BRAGG JUST ILLEGALLY LEAKED THE 33 points of Indictment. There are no changes or surprises from those he leaked days ago directly out of the Grand Jury. No Crime by Trump. What a MESS. Bragg should resign, NOW!” he said.
Whether Bragg leaked anything is unknown, but if he had, he would also face stiff penalties.
Alan Dershowitz, considered one of the United State’s greatest lawyers, believes Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may be disbarred after his case against former President Donald Trump. Dershowitz argued on Fox News that Bragg could face up to five years in prison for leaking details about Trump’s indictment.
Dershowitz also discussed how Michael Cohen’s testimony would hurt the district attorney’s case.
“I don’t think an indictment can actually come forward now after the comments made by [Robert] Costello. He has proved that the main witness is going to be a perjuring liar on the witness stand, and that puts the district attorney in a terrible position,” Dershowitz said.
“If he uses Cohen as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license. It’s unethical to put a witness on the stand who you know is lying, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying. Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: he drops the case,” he added.
According to Dershowitz, whoever leaked the sealed indictment is responsible for the only felony in this case.
“It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else,” Dershowitz said in an op-ed for The New York Sun.
“We know that the information was disclosed while the indictment itself remains sealed and before any official announcement was made or charges brought. It is unlikely that the leak came from the Trump team, which seemed genuinely surprised,” Dershowitz said.
“The most likely, though uncertain, scenario is that a person in Mr. Bragg’s office or a grand juror unlawfully leaked the sealed information. That would be a class E felony, subject to imprisonment. It is possible of course that an investigation is underway, but it seems more likely that Mr. Bragg is too busy making up a crime against the man he promised in his campaign to get than investigating a real crime that took place on his watch,” Dershowitz added.
