Snake Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The investigation into former President Donald Trump and his financial statements "unraveled" after a disagreement flared between two veteran prosecutors and the Manhattan district attorney, The New York Times reported Saturday. According to the report, two veteran prosecutors, Mark F. Pomerantz and Carey R. Dunne tried to present a convincing argument to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ahead of the expiration for the grand jury to hear evidence Trump knew his financial statements were misleading. But Bragg, who would be needed to seek charges against Trump, doubted the two lawyers could provide strong evidence Trump had "intentionally set out to break the law by inflating the value of his assets in the annual statements," which would be key in presenting a strong argument in the case. What precipitated from meeting between Bragg and the two attorneys was a suspension in the investigation, as well as the resignation from the two prosecutors last month. Although Bragg has maintained the three-year investigation into Trump is ongoing, one of the heaviest legal threats Trump faced, for now, seems to be over. However, other, less severe allegations from an inquiry might still come. Bragg's decision might have been influenced by prosecutors with the former district attorney's administration, who had raised concern to Bragg the prior investigations against Trump had shown gaps in evidence. Additionally, following the meeting with Pomerantz and Dunne, Bragg began to draw concerns of his own that showing Trump's intent — "a requirement for proving that he criminally falsified his business records" — would prove to be a challenge. Bragg also seems to draw concern for relying on Michael D. Cohen, a former Trump attorney, as a key witness, as it would prove risky in presenting a strong case. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/manhattan-district-attorney-alvin-bragg-investigation/2022/03/05/id/1059818/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I've lost track of all the shit on the wall they've thrown at Trump, and how none of it has stuck. You'd think after a while....um....people would see that......and then juxtapose it with what really is happening among the Democrats.....and a few RINOs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I believe Trump is guilty as the day is long. His money/lawyers, and political power save his ass. He's good at it. I do hope eventually, he's in a state/federal prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Can anyone think of a president or presidential candidate in the last 30 years that would have held up under this level of scrutiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Not saying that he hasn’t done unethical things. But as far as being involved in illegal activities and dirty money? Doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted March 7, 2022 USA Contributing Member Share Posted March 7, 2022 Fodder to keep him out of 2024. You think they would chase him if he wasn’t a threat to the dems? Russian collusion sputtered out, spend time on this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
