Politically motivated prosecution targets fmr. Pres. Trump, his supporters

Today is an unprecedented day in our nation’s history, as vengeance usurps law and Trump faces nearly 3 dozen felony counts this afternoon. His supporters remain loyal.

This is the recent pull-no-pinches letter signed by House GOP judiciary leaders to unabashedly partisan New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg. It included these compelling words:

“You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority:the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis—any basis—on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue. If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election. In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision.”

Reuters’ News headlined today’s article, “Trump indictment pulls DeSantis-leaning Republicans back to MAGA fold.” Real Clear Politics aggregated presidential polling shows Trump leading by wide margins against every potential 2024 primary candidate.
