“Once again, Donald Trump had managed to dance between the raindrops of accountability,” writes Mark Pomerantz.

The 304-page volume weaves Pomerantz’s behind-the-scenes account of the spirited battle to charge Trump with anecdotes from his decades-long career as a mafia prosecutor and white-collar litigator, sometimes drawing parallels between the two. The book also works to temper the drama surrounding Pomerantz’s split from Bragg over the direction of the case, which spilled into the public last year when his resignation letter appeared in The New York Times.

Aside from a few blunt emails he wrote criticizing Bragg’s deliberate handling of the case, Pomerantz said his rift with the D.A. wasn’t angry or violent — “there was never any yelling or screaming,” he writes of their final conversation in February 2022 — and he concludes by defending Bragg against people suggesting he had an ulterior motive to shelve a potential indictment.

“After closely reviewing all the evidence from Mr. Pomerantz’s investigation, I came to the same conclusion as several senior prosecutors involved in the case, and also those I brought on: more work was needed. Put another way, Mr. Pomerantz’s plane wasn’t ready for takeoff,” Bragg said. “Our skilled and professional legal team continues to follow the facts of this case wherever they may lead, without fear or favor. Mr. Pomerantz decided to quit a year ago and sign a book deal.

Pomerantz likened Trump’s cunning, charisma and ability to “stay one step ahead of the law” to that of late Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, whose son, John A. Gotti, he prosecuted while an assistant U.S. attorney. Pomerantz portrays the hush-money payments, the original impetus for the investigation and an area Bragg’s team is now exploring, as perhaps the most challenging, legally fraught of the potential cases against Trump. He writes that while a case could be made that Trump falsified business records by logging Cohen’s reimbursements as legal fees, he could only be charged with a misdemeanor under New York law — unless prosecutors could prove he falsified records to conceal another crime.

Gee.... NOTHING AGAIN. The Left are pathetic. Go take a peek into the Biden crime family, Pumpkins.

When you pack the courts with your judges an indictment is no good.
