not like you do murder and sexual assault

How many similar bread and butter case has the office brought forward in in the past few years. Answer 8. What was the outcome? Fine

What a lier- he's been doing it since he took office

THE WASHINGTON COMPOST PRAVDA

That statement was a comedy line for New Yorkers “we will not normalize Criminal activity her” That was a lie worse than all of Trumps combined. Bragg has single handily normalized all violent crime in NYC🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

These allegations need to be applied to the NYSE, Wall Street Hedge Funds, Brokers, FINRA and SEC for allowing it!!!!!!! Racketeering and Fraud with synthetic trades, shorting and no accountability!!!! INSANE! MADOFF X100000

Mr. Oblivious

ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter are involved un crime, money laundering and trafficking in people. FTX fraud is directly linked to the Democratic Party donations. Those some federal agencies are in collusion with this political gang of Soros?

Remember this Mark Houck, who was arrested by the FBI in September, was acquitted in an unanimous jury decision Democrat FBI held his children at gunpoint put him in chains and dragged him out of his home Trump's not the only one being persecuted Gotta vote these democrats out

Too bad Epstein wasn't prosecuted by Manhattan.

Might want to arrest the clintons, Obama and the Biden family too; Americans are pretty serious about the concept of Justice applied fairly and equally to all. The democrats have gotten a free pass for far too long....

😑 You can’t So you chose to put the Smack on a man who secretly wanted some Stank Stank vs Our Current Leader who has committed Crimes against Humanity and Embezzled Millions?

But imagine trying to be considered a bad ass for a white collar (more like yellow collar) crime: of falsysing official documents which is technically fraud.

Seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. Now he is normalizing political prosecutions.

That’s cool and all. MAKE IT STICK !!!

Since his election, Bragg has done nothing but normalize serious criminal conduct.

So he actually defrauded people? Is that what you're saying? I'm sure that you have names n dates etc etc.......

Great job yesterday. I commend you. Wishing you and family to stay safe in this dark time of American History. Truth will always prevail. Thank you Mr. Bragg.

This is simply not fair what’s happening. Everything is just about that woman. And this Bragg thinks he’s just gonna have that power forever? Karma’s gonna bite him for all this. And I want to see when that’s gonna happen. He better be perfect in everything …

And the city is under attack by violent criminals

They certainly normalized gun violence and robbery.

The voice of sanity in Trump related world of insanity

Defraud who?

Can't get any more fascist and frivolous than this.

When you add 36 charges to something that isn’t a legitimate crime, you are a bigger criminal than the one you indicted. You don’t even have to be a lawyer to know that. Braggs and everyone behind this is crooked

Stop hating the 'Alpha man' because you can't be one.

Gonna eat those words wen he is prosecuted himself.. Thank ya dude, America isn't blind as ya think

yet he let's felons walk every day Bragg is a pathetic lying liberal just like the wapo

Didn't Hillary and the DNC do the same thing...lol? Oh well.

Did you even read the 87 pages...? What about page 3... Does ManhattanDA even know it even exists?

Serious criminal conduct is normalized by Dems

Is hush money paid to a porn star by an intermediary whose repayments were disguised as a business/legal expenses to avoid campaign reporting rules considered a legitimate business expense/tax write-off?

Soros boy.

Hahahahaha

It was bias hate filled politically motivated and racist attack by a two bit ambulance chaser who let's rapist out to rape again and loses over 50% of his cases.

what a racist

But the Washington post to do their best to create fake news, sponsored by radical liberals!

'we will not normalize serious criminal conduct'? Look at his own record PoliticalHack

Look at me, I indicted Orange man bad. Everyone look at me.

Rahul Gandhi hurled a racial slur on an entire community for which a Court found guilty Trump’s case was run by the Biden Administration, but Rahul Gandhi’s conviction was on basis of a plea by a private person who felt insulted amitmalviya smritiirani BJPLive

Trump is out of bounds. He needs a gag order. He’s continuing to lie, attack, bully and incite violence. Trump is dangerous. There’s something wrong with him.

All crap charges and a weak case

Send him to prison where he belongs

The sordid, fake drama played by the two parties to fool the American public. Everything is rotten in the state of Denmark and each individual is a villain. A state so rotten that it is drowning in the hubris of its intergenerational crimes.

A BOOK KEEPING ERROR IS JUST HORRIFYING...THIS MUST STOP

Hey elonmusk These newsquacks are exactly the same as nytimes . No difference! As long as we are pulling blue checks, is also one of the worst propaganda mills.. This is a sister publication to the times.

Trump got a reality check!

They better start going after Hillary.

Trump investigations are designed to take the public’s eye of the big stories such as the US proxy war against Russia and the rise of BRICS and the collapsing of the US dollar

ManhattanDA has destroyed NYC. He normalized most crime.

The most courrupt city in our country.... 35 counts of accounting errors. Another DNC weaponized govt failure....and more lost credibility for the media mouthpieces who spread it.

Unless it’s murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, rape, carjacking, attempted murder, or arson.

When did an affair become a crime punishable by death.... 'I did not have sexual relations with that women'- Clinton freetrump realDonaldTrump

have you been in NY lately? All Bragg has done is normalize serious crime. His words are empty.

Communists want war, China, and Russia want war, N. Korea wants war, and Iran wants war NOT our military contractors who save the country against tyranny and terror to defend freedom and liberty. Left fear and witch hunt will backfire. Americans are not stupid.

Lol, Bragg is trumps inside man.

he doesn't sound like he's even convinced himself. dude's gonna find out the difference between fame and infamy

Is...is he joking?

George Soros est derrière le procureur Alvin Bragg, c'est lui qui a financé sa campagne de postulation!

I was trained to tell when someone is lying. He's lying.

Hahahaha! So that's why he released or reduced the criminal Complaints against 52% of violent criminals in NYC last year!

Whole indictment is ridiculous!

But cool to release actual criminals back on the streets? Cool story bro.

But.... BLM, Antifa, crack head biden, killary clinton..... rapists and murderers, looters and vandals you don't even charge or investigate. You're a phony, political hack job. Fat ass.

Then why did he lower 52% of cases from felonies to misdemeanors?

Abou a lot more than uphold the law on literally trumped up charges by a DA with a vendetta

No one has issue with the concept of enforcing laws, especially most conservatives...but absolutly with laws being selectively enforced. This is clearly political for that the very simple reason. Quoting Cardinal Richelieu, 'If one would give me six lines written by the hand of…

Tell that to NYC crime victims.

Is that officer Fanone the front?

Defraud who?! This isn’t going to end well for Bragg!!

Unless you're a murderer, rapist or a thief.

Forewarning ManhattanDA. Your “No matter who you are, we will not normalize serious criminal conduct” will be used as a reminder to you every time you drop charges on … who ever they are. Buckle up big guy

He’s very brave to fulfill his campaign promise to go after Trump. But this is not political.

Hwy, Hey, Hey, Fat Albert here!

You didn’t bt allowing criminals to run free.

World Brain Damaged Vous êtes des déviant, des malades mentaux, il faut aller ce soigner en psychiatrie. Vous convoité une dérive sectaire qui s’appelle Baphomet et qui a été dissoute en Françe, et elle a été récupéré dans la clandestinité dans une PsyWar publique et privée.

To democrats American: You don’t need to like President Trump, that’s your constitutional right,. But, you must be vigilant against CCP, which is taking away your constitution.

Miss Kevin McCarthy's turn will come.

Hey! I thought this was going to make Trump stronger? Hmmm. Sounds like they may not believe that?

Sorros puppet barking to get some fame and biting his own tail.

So the arguement is trump should have labeled his business entry as “hush money to lawyer to reimburse him for paying porn star” that’s the egregious felony crime liberals are so hot over?

put this chicken and cattle rustler behind bars mr da

The trial of the century in America Trump is exploiting the trial for political purposes

J6?

Projection. Demeaning. Threatening. Bullying. Is that anyway to run a political party?

Baselessly…. Lol.

“No matter who you are, we will not normalize serious criminal conduct.” Below ⬇️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joe 'Papa Doc' Biden

It is baseless … this is a stunt to thwart Trump’s campaign before the primaries.

This is a GOP Hit Job Trump is on the Manhattan Cross. They are Having a Political Sacrifice Majorie Taylor Green , George Santos and all Trumps Political opponents are present to make sure They reap his Supporters backing because they they show up. AMERICA is Watching 🇺🇸

Per the GOP,acceptable: A foreign gov hacking and stealing private emails. A candidate weaponizing those emails. A GOP House member leaking info about an investigation 11 days before the election. Illegal payoffs to suppress a story that might impact an election. 1/2

Bragg specifically campaigned on politically persecuting 1 man, his family and his business. The same man who is the biggest political threat to Democrats in power. Then, after that man announces his run for the Presidency, Bragg indicts him. But don't say it's political......

He’s spot on.

Judge Juan Merchan are you seeing this?

Tell us about the 6th kid.

SpeakerMcCarthy What a disgusting, pathetic lie!

Trump was a better President than clueless idiot Biden

This guy… what a travesty of a DA he is. When they politicize ‘justice’ you open the door to politburo style conduct. He can’t even keep his city safe. He is disgusting.

Even CNN is saying the charges are disappointing and nothing new was uncovered.

Except if you mug someone, rose someone, rob someone, assault the police - then we will give you a pass. But damn it- for accounting (by accountants btw…) we are sending you to Rykers for life.

Wasting taxpayers money, and a cluck playing the role of lead prosecutor, Hollyweird ain't even buying it.

He should meet the Clintons

To all you geniuses who think, this is such a 'weak case'; my opinion is Trumptanic is found guilty and his charges will be related to the charges for which Mr Pecker was given immunity. CNN ABC WSJ Nyt FoxNews wolfblitzer latimes chicagotribune axios

Welcome to the Democrat Party's Fascist Banana Republic Police State of America. You now have 3rd world peers such as: Algeria, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, El Salvador, Mauritania, Myanmar, Ghana, Botswana

And just like that, the campaign hush money scandal disappears.

Witch hunt Dems are destroying America.

But we will not prosecute rapists, murderers or drug dealers- NYC IS CLOWN CITY!

While Bragg catches and releases Criminals like fish. Bragg is a tool of the Stalinist Party, aka the Democrats. What a disgrace.

senin de sana oy verenlerin de amk trump! kizim sana soyluyorum…

How about the person who committed a felony in leaking the grand jury info?

Hypocritical regime says what?

With a straight face: “We will not normalize serious criminal conduct.” 😂

Come on it’s now officially a hoax and the entire world knows it . To come up with this weak zombie case was maybe the best thing what ever could happen to Trump concerning the 2024 elections 😏

I guess giving billions of American Taxpayer money to Ukraine isn't a crime.

Lol what crime exactly was this all predicated on? I’m sorry it doesn’t say in the indictment. This fat slob is just up here throwing shit at the wall. What an embarrassing case.

Fat ass liar.

Am I the only one seeing hypocrisy?… isn’t this the DA who sent the “soft on crime” memo, effectively reducing a majority of felonies, including violent crimes, to misdemeanors? Can we also normalize serious criminal conduct so innocent civilians who live in NYC don’t have to…

Yeah, but Garland has still let him walk on stealing government top top top top secret documents.

One could deduce from his statement that Mr. Bragg does not view violent crimes as 'serious' in NY. While falsifying business records may not always be 'unserious,' a $130k hush payment seems to pale in comparison to the violent, criminal offenses that go unpursued daily in NY.

Americas demons

He’s lying

... No Body is.. ABOVE the LAW. Plain and Simple. It is in the Book !

But he will let VIOLENT felons walk the streets

Meanwhile NYC is a shithole with rampant crime 😄

Manhattan Judge is too young to remember Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky .

This is just the beginning. There’s the Georgia election meddling investigation. The J6 instigator probe. The classified documents investigation. And E Jean Carroll rape case.

Who was defrauded?

the judge's daughter works with the bidens and so the judge needs to recuse themselves sua sponte

Not surprise at all, all people in multiverse know weak President Biden set up Trump to prevent Trump win back in 2024 election

No surprise at all, all people knows Weak President Biden and deep state will set up Trump from the beginning, they are so scared of Trump win back at 2024 election

Soros backed Bragg and his office is becoming more of a 💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡.

He does EVERY DAY. He has lowered standards - repeatedly reducing felonies to misdemeanors. He has twice charged victims who managed to get the best of their assailants and ended up killing those assailants and were charged with felony murder. This DA needs to get his priorities…

Except if you are a street thug, then you get a pass with no bail and your charges reduced to a minor charge with no jail time. Murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and violent criminals, please feel free to go about your business.

Bragg should normalize a salad.

DECEMBER?

ManuelMerchan don’t entertain a request by Trump to waive his appearance. NoOneIsAboveTheLaw ManhattanDA like any criminal they must appear in court in front of a jury. Let’s not start on the wrong foot with trump.

Targeted political prosecution in the good old USA. The left are communists.

I can't wait to vote for him next year.

Maga tears are the cherry on top of the Trump Arraignment sundae!

HE is not guilty and indeed is victim of racist and fascist Biden/Democrats!

His work on Earth is done

Trump gets a reality check!

“Not guilty “ in Trump’s language means “I am guilty AF”

Ruun Donald Ruun!

Are they all aware that none of them will ever be paid one penny?

Lock him up!

🍊💩🤡

Biden family... Trump... Hunter's young hookers and drugs... Trumps affaire....old Biden's warmongerin in Ukraine... Trumps deals.... I think I'd go with Trump.

Trump is fighting for our freedom he is a hero

This is definitely one way of getting rid of political opponents. That is all it comes down too.

What is up with his hair? 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️

This belongs in the Louvre

Absent a mugshot, this’ll do.

Womp womp

We warned you for years. This man was never fit to be POTUS.

Hillary Clinton spotted at a bbq, laughing, beer in hand.
