Another Loser Lawyer Fails in Pursuit of Trump
His enemies repeatedly misconstrue their fantasy for objective reality.

Some prosecutors work for justice. Others toil for a result.
Which camp do you suppose crybaby counsellor Mark Pomerantz falls into?
The New York Times published the resignation letter of Pomerantz, who left the Manhattan district attorney’s office last month to much publicity in (surprise!) the New York Times, on Thursday.
“I believe that your decision not to prosecute Donald Trump now, and on the existing record, is misguided and completely contrary to the public interest,” Pomerantz wrote his boss, District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Pomerantz claimed the investigation he helped lead uncovered “evidence sufficient to establish Mr. Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
But observers possess reasons to doubt Pomerantz’s ability to fairly assess the former president’s guilt or innocence.
Like so many of Trump’s antagonists, Pomerantz betrays a record of extreme partisanship. Pomerantz took a leave of absence from the Hillary Clinton–tied law firm Paul, Weiss, to toil on the case against Trump pro bono. He donated thousands of dollars to federal candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Hakeem Jeffries, Andrew Cuomo, and Chuck Schumer, over the years. All of the candidates for federal office that he supported financially share one thing in common: the “D” that appears after their names.
The former president’s enemies judge the truth of stories based on how they make them feel rather than on whether they check out factually.
The decision to task the droolers and the shiny-eyed with investigations of anything and everything involving Donald Trump strikes as a poor one if the intent was to convict rather than attaint.
