how can this happen in the United States? It is just breathtaking!
Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Trump is wholly illegitimate, little better than Stalin’s show trials of the 1930s. It is a purely political act, intended to interfere with the 2024 presidential election. It deserves no deference and no respect.
I don’t get it–I thought there was the rule of law in this country!
Finally, Merchan is threatening to imprison Trump for this:
“What have you thought of David Pecker’s testimony so far? When was the last time you spoke to him?” Trump answered, “He’s been very nice. I mean, he’s been — David’s been very nice. A nice guy.”
If Trump can go to jail for saying that, it proves that Merchan’s gag order is ridiculously broad and, in fact, unconstitutional.
It’s time for SCOTUS to step in!
