This is painful to watch as a former prosecutor myself… this is what happens when you mix politics and prosecution. A perversion of the criminal justice system.

Name one law the court has written. The court has held laws or regulations don’t conform with our constitution or prior holdings were wrongly decided. They have not written one law and have in fact stayed away from legislating from the bench. They have repeatedly urged Congress

If this is the indictment, fine. Prove it. If this is a press release by Bragg’s office at the time of arraignment, it’s highly inappropriate to comment on any pending criminal matter, particularly with commentary that would serve no other purpose but to inflame the emotions of

@realDonaldTrump
Remember, unless and until a jury finds Trump guilty by proof and evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, he’s presumed innocent and these comments seem to leave that fact out.
@greta
I mean whatever comes of it, it is highly newsworthy that the judge and NY Supreme Court, on their own initiative, sent notice of this post to the parties. Neither party brought it to the court’s attention. How is reporting that “misinformation?”

promised something he knew he couldn’t legally deliver simply to score political points during an election. If that’s not bad faith and cynical, I don’t know what would be.

Wow. She needs to resign. He was asking questions which seemed to agitate her and when he said “thank you for your attention for this matter” she lost it at him. She said if he’s going to be here she won’t be? What kind of public official is that?
@CollinRugg
There is seriously something very wrong with a person who would (1) Actually feel this way; and (2) Publicly post that for the world to see! Revolting doesn’t begin to describe this.
@DerekMayne5
@TomFitton
I think it became so blatantly obvious what was going on - the wink and the nod deal with promises of non-prosecution- that the judge probably had no choice but to do what she did because she did not want her name attached to that. Had it flown under the radar, it probably would

@ABCWorldNews
That is complete nonsense. The possession by an addict charge? Definitely rare, but lying on the ATF form to illegal obtain a firearm? Prosecutors drool over that one
@HeatherR411
It was always there. We’ve just never had a president attempt to imprison his predecessor and political opponent before, so now there is a need for the highest court in our land to weigh in.

I don’t agree with a lot of what he stands for but why should Biden waltz back into the job without earning it? Some competition on both sides of the aisle would benefit everyone

Exactly. If GOP prosecutors start acting this way against their political opponents, the left will be wailing (rightfully so) but the difference is they will have the media wailing with them. This is the pure weaponization of the criminal justice system in an extremely perverse

Hopefully in the future, voters in NM, (and everywhere for that matter), will look at the actual policies of candidates as opposed to the letter next to their names. Of course, Biden didn’t answer Qs as a candidate so they might not have known. 🤷♂️

We need you help here in Rhode Island. Our governor is accountable to no one. Our AG is MIA, our General Assembly is unable to convene, and the courts are closed. Our freedoms are being stripped one by one.
@PaulIngrassia
Here in Rhode Island, there is a blanket exemption to jury duty for active lawyers in the state. We just check a box on a form and we’re excused. This is one RI policy with which I agree because never in my wildest dreams would I agree to put a lawyer on a jury.
@NJisdoomed
@PATBR0DY
Bottom line, if Biden submits this to Senate it’s a treaty and needs 2/3rds vote to become a legally binding treaty. If the senate either doesn’t vote on it or votes and doesn’t pass with 2/3rds voting Aye, doesn’t really matter what they call it. It’s not law in any way.
@greta
As usual, Greta is correct. I’ve been a practicing criminal trial attorney for nearly 20 years and releasing transcripts during a time when the court was closed to the public does not satisfy the requirements of the constitution’s public trial command in criminal cases.

I’d say it’s a violation of professional ethics for a prosecutor to make those kinds of public comments for an ongoing case. Prosecutors are supposed to speak in court and through court filings - not through politically charged press releases that are designed to taint an already

This is outrageous. Any judge would authorized an arrest warrant for “obstruction” should be removed from the bench. If officers believed they had probable cause to charge those kids with a crime, they’d put a few bodies outside the house, and get a warrant. They cannot force

So Bill is saying they (the Dems) should have become lawless sooner? Shouldn’t he be lamenting the fact that this lawfare is being used at all? I’m not condoning this, but like Harry Reid eliminating the filibuster for lower court nominees in 2013, the Dems will likely come to
