'No Obedience' TRUMP-Leticia James & Alvin Bragg WONT Dismiss Civil/Criminal Case
NY AG Leticia James and NY DA Alvin Bragg Tell TRUMP They WILL NOT Dismiss His Cases
No Obedience in Advance: Alvin Bragg Shows NO Intention of Going Quietly
AP 12 DEC 2024
As we continue to look for points of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness, new reporting shows that Trumps demands that his New York civil fraud case and his NY guilty verdicts in his criminal case have been rejected by AG James and DA Bragg, respectively.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused Trumps lawyers' demands to dismiss his criminal guilty verdicts. "'President-elect immunity does not exist.' New York prosecutors defend Trump conviction."
NY Attorney General Leticia James refused Trumps lawyers demands to dismiss his civil fraud case. Pr Forbes: "New York AG Leticia James Rejects Trumps Request to Drop Civil Fraud Lawsuit."
A lot of Donald Trumps legal problems vanished when he won the presidency, but one Trump prosecutor isnt backing down, a legal expert said Wednesday.
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance raised the discussion, pointing to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggs recent legal filing indicating that he isnt ready to let Trump off the hook in his fraud case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant?s inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist, Braggs office wrote in the 82-page filing urging Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trumps request.
According to Vance, Bragg made it clear he had no intention of going quietly
No obedience in advance from the office that obtained the only criminal conviction against Donald Trump before his election win ran out the clock on the three other criminal cases against him," the former prosecutor wrote.
After delays to assess Trumps claim that the case should be dismissed or at least he could not be sentenced because he was about to assume the presidency, the District Attorney flatly rejected Trumps argument that the Supreme Courts immunity ruling impacts their case and asked Judge Juan Merchan to proceed to sentencing.
She then added, Nothing, the DA writes, prevents Trump from being sentenced before the inauguration.
Vance also encouraged readers to use Bragg as an inspiration.
The Manhattan district attorney is not powerful outside of his own jurisdiction. He has little to bring to bear against the president of the United States.
But Alvin Bragg, who won a hard-fought conviction, stood up for it today and stood up for it against Donald Trump, the ex-prosecutor wrote. His courage should inspire us. It is a measure of the courage we are all capable of.
We do not have to accept Donald Trump and the demise of the rule of law as inevitable.
