That's what Alvin Bragg is up to indicting Trump. He is an elected state district attorney -- something we don't have in Canada, where ours are appointed -- who ran on arresting Trump, but when elected, he saw that the statue of limitations on the charges had run out and put the matter aside. His base went ballistic, so he "trumped up" something else and went ahead.
The reason he postponed the arrest was because he has been in intense negotiations with CNN, Fox and NBC about the arrest "show" -- will he be put in an orange jump suit? Sent to Rikers? Given the public perp walk? Maybe all of the above, but this is clearly Bragg's big moment -- his place in history. The Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen and other previous arrests were simply a run-up to the big one.
This is what I have gleaned watching 'America's Untold Stories' with Mark Groubert and Eric Hunley. Groubert is one of the smartest, most well-informed journalists I have ever heard. There is no detail he doesn't have a bead on. He does his research and backs everything up with facts and details -- often very obscure (google him). The media goes on about how Bragg has sued Trump more than a hundred times. What they don't mention is that every one was either thrown out, or defeated. Bragg didn't win one.
And he won't win this one either.
With apologies to all who blindly hate Trump -- and I may or may not be one of them, that's not what this is about -- I am sorry American politics and the law have shrunk to this low. Canada's leadership is no better, I'm afraid. Trump's arrest will only boost his brand. That's an undeniable fact.
