Alvin Bragg s Pro-Biden Prosecutorial Discretion – WSJ

In 1787, with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, a republic was born. How many politicians since then have paid off mistresses? Only God knows. The number must be in the thousands.

Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, saw a squiggly, strained path to bring a case against Donald Trump related to the Stormy Daniels matter. It isn t an obligatory case. It isn t a case a prosecutor would be failing in his job not to bring. But he likely didn t flip a coin either. He asked what would the Democratic Party and party leadership, from Joe Biden on down, want him to do.
