The Democrats are just making up the law as they go along. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:
Below is an expanded version of my column in the New York Post on the start of the Trump trial and much awaited explanation of District Attorney Alvin Bragg on the underlying alleged criminal conduct. The curious aspect of the case is that the prosecutors are stressing that they will prove largely uncontested facts. Indeed, if all of these facts of payments, non-disclosure agreements, and affairs are proven many of us (including liberal legal experts) are doubtful that there is any cognizable crime.
Here is the column:
For many of us in the legal community, the case of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against former president Donald Trump borders on the legally obscene: an openly political prosecution based on a theory that even some liberal pundits have dismissed. Yet, this week the prosecution seemed like they were actually making a case for obscenity.
No, it was not the gratuitous introduction of an uncharged alleged tryst with a former Playboy bunny or planned details on the relationship with a former porn star. It was the criminal theory itself that seemed crafted around the standard for obscenity famously described by Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in the case of Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184 (1964): “I shall not today attempt further to define [it] … But I know it when I see it.”
After months of confusion of what crime they were alleging in the indictment, the prosecution offered a new theory that is so ambiguous and undefined that it would have made Justice Stewart blush.
Regarding the hush Stormy weather, isn’t that on its second try?
Double Jeopardy got deleted by the “historic” pen and phone?
Family head mind melter moment when I said why is democrat donor comrade Weinstein good to go but Trump is still getting the lawfare treatment?
Read on the other day where a “youth” was sentenced to 180 days for sex with minors in the glorious peoples republic of NY (CPUSA/CCP), what is Trump up against 400 years?
The CPUSA (D) comrades should listen to their favorite republican Abe Lincoln, you can’t fool them all, all of the time.
