Alvin Bragg s Dangerous Stunt | The Free Press

Bragg will still win politically even if he loses in court. 

And that is the biggest problem with today s arraignment. The district attorney s political interests do not align with those of the republic. He wants to satisfy the most extreme partisans on his own side. It s a similar problem that elected officials from Republican states face. So don t be surprised when an ambitious Republican prosecutor from, say, Texas or South Carolina indicts Hunter Biden on a similarly thin legal pretext. Bragg has set a new precedent in American politics, and we should expect Republicans to take advantage of the new standards he s just created. Indeed, Republicans who do not take advantage of the new rules will be accused of being weak.

All of this raises a question not just for Bragg, but for the Democratic Party, the online resistance, and the media ecosystem that seems to exist simply to stoke outrage about Donald Trump for its overstimulated, progressive base: Is it worth it?  Is the catharsis of seeing Trump indicted worth the damage a politicized prosecution of the former president will do? Because indicting Trump in this way, at this time, is an in-kind donation to his own presidential primary campaign. If the latest polling is correct, then Trump s approval ratings have ticked up since the announcement of his indictment.

The term to describe this whole incident just is not appropriate for a family friendly blog. It is I think every bit as bad as it appears to be.
