He didn’t mean to make it public, but a Manhattan US Attorney’s Office biggie has outed the contempt pros privately hold for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s purely political prosecution of Donald Trump.
Covertly taped by an undercover righty, Chief of Public Affairs Nicholas Biase slammed the case as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice,” accusing Bragg of “stacking charges [against Trump] and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”
Secretly recording private conversations for a “gotcha” is slimy (we’ve said before), but Biase’s comments prove what Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Turley have long warned: Bragg’s case never made any sense to begin with.
Bragg twisted what should have been, at most, a misdemeanor into a typhoon of felonies by claiming Trump intended to defraud voters in the 2016 election when he repaid Michael Cohen in 2017 to cover his (perfectly legal) go-away payment to Stormy Daniels the year before.
Biase guessed the persecution is all about Bragg’s ambitions: “He wants to be, something … a mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County.”
That is: It was never about justice for Bragg, but scoring with Democratic voters and politicians.
Biase stated more of the obvious: Democrats are “obsessed with getting” Trump because “it affects his candidacy if he’s a convicted felon.”
And Fulton County, Ga., DA Fani Willis’ case against Trump is “a mockery of justice,” he added; “the whole thing is disgusting.”
Biase is now in clean-up mode, with fulsome apologies and excuses: Getting caught telling the truth won’t help his career.
We expect most of the legal community is silent out of similar fears, even as the worst characters look forward to boosting their own fortunes by weaponizing the justice system against future Democratic targets.
And never mind how badly it undermines the rule of law and public trust in the courts.
Modern progressives like Bragg care only about power, and they’re happy to tear society apart to win more of it.
