Alvin Bragg’s intentions back in spotlight after Trump verdict

Republicans and Democrats have offered up dueling narratives about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his decision to prosecute former President Donald Trump for falsifying business records.

Bragg on Thursday became the first prosecutor in U.S. history to convict a former president, capping off a risky yearlong approach to a complicated case.

Critics claim he intentionally targeted Trump not because of the crimes committed but because he disagreed with his politics and wanted to prevent him from seeking a second term.

Supporters insist Bragg has been open from the start about following the paper trail in the hush money case and that his decision to indict the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee was entirely evidence-based.

Bragg arguably filed the weakest of the four indictments against Trump but was the first prosecutor who managed to get their case over the finish line.

Bragg, a Democrat, ran for office as someone ready to hold Trump and other powerful New Yorkers accountable.

The incumbent, Cyrus Vance Jr., had been heavily criticized for failing to bring charges against influential heavyweights like Harvey Weinstein and two of Trump’s children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

While campaigning, Bragg made a point of highlighting his experience investigating the Trump family.

“I have investigated Trump and his children and held them accountable for their misconduct with the Trump Foundation,” he said during a 2020 candidate forum.

Evidence-based, yes.  Crime-based, no.  There was plenty of evidence.  There just wasn't a crime attached to it.

“Sen. Schumer’s brother, Robert Schumer, is a partner in that law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton, and Garrison …. Paul, Weiss granted three highly paid attorneys leaves of absence to join the Manhattan district attorney’s office in its targeting of Donald Trump.”
Just like any other criminal case, then, right?
