The Surreality of Trump's Impending Arrest
The Insane Political Stunt of Alvin Bragg, Soros Funded Prosecutor
So, it seems Trump may face arrest next week for misclassifying the hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels as a legal expense. This is, of course, a political prosecution. We know this is a political prosecution because Stormy Daniels is not being charged for what is generally considered a much more serious crime, blackmail, while Trump faces arrest for misclassifying the payment as a legal expense. A prosecutor would not normally make a deal with someone who committed a more serious crime to convict someone else of a less serious one: But this is not a normal prosecution. This is the use of the law as a political weapon.
There are those who will say that our perfectly moral and upright whore did not engage in blackmail: However, one has to wonder how Trump became aware of her plan to go public and why the payment was made so close to election day? Those who argue that Trump sought her out have to explain why he didn’t seek her out earlier, and those who claim that he became aware of her decision to go public “through the grapevine” have to wonder how the story didn’t blow up if rumours were already circulating. No, the timing of the check tells us all we need to know: Stormy Daniels, aka. Stephanie Clifford, blackmailed Trump. And Alvin Bragg is working with a prostitute extortionist in order to persecute a political opponent.
Of course, it is very unlikely that New York will be able to prove that Trump approved of the payment or that he is directly responsible for the misclassification, though one has to always consider the possibility that Trump is not given a fair trial considering the jurisdiction. However, even given the bias Trump would face from a local jury, the legal theory the prosecution is using is beyond flimsy and is very unlikely to hold up—it is likely a competent judge would throw it out before it comes to trial, and any conviction will be overturned upon appeal.
To understand how strange and desperate a hail Mary play this is, you must realize that the underlying crime Trump is being charged with is only a misdemeanour, falsifying business records. In order to charge this as a felony, they have to argue that the falsification was associated with another crime, in this case an illegal campaign donation since, in their theory of the case, the payment to Stormy Daniels provided a “material benefit” to the campaign. This theory is absurd on two levels: 1) It is hard to see how paying off a blackmailer can be considered a regular campaign expense—as it the individual would likely do this even if there were no campaign. 2) Because Cohen was reimbursed, the money cannot be considered a donation at all. Thus, there is no second crime: And Alvin Bragg is charging a former president, at great public expense, with a mere misdemeanour whose statute of limitations has long since expired.
One can only imagine how the media would react if a Republican DA were to carry out this same stunt against a Democrat. First, there would be an attempt to obfuscate the exact nature of the charge, as there was with Clinton where, though the offense was perjury, the media pretended he was being impeached on account of his affair. Then the left would argue that personal matters ought not to be politicized. Finally, the left would try to frame the Democrat as the victim—emphasizing Stormy Daniels’ poor character and portraying her as the blackmailer she most likely is.
Charging Trump will only worsen this country’s political divides: Indeed, it corroborates the narratives surrounding the stolen election. It is impossible Trump will serve any time for this menial offense, and its only real purpose would be to bar him from running again. If the Democrats beat Trump so easily, why are they seeking to prevent him from running over such a trivial offense?
