Bragg’s predecessor had accelerated the probe last fall, empaneling a grand jury and receiving much fanfare, especially from the media-sphere. Once Bragg took office, the case appeared to be moving ahead as planned, but these resignations testify to some kind of major internal shift. If Bragg was now expressing doubts about the case moving forward, that signals that he doesn’t believe the evidence is there for a conviction. Remember, prosecutors hate to pursue cases they don’t think they can win, and I don’t believe these resignations would have happened if this criminal case against Trump hadn’t imploded.
As to the prosecutors themselves, it is incredibly disturbing that they were so emotionally invested in taking down a political opponent (don’t kid yourself about their political leanings) that they chose to quit when their boss, himself left-leaning and anti-Trump, decided there wasn’t enough to go on. It appears that these prosecutors wanted to go to trial no matter what, if only to hopefully damage Trump with years of bad headlines before a probable, not guilty verdict. That kind of lawfare is disgusting, and it’s everything that’s wrong with our judicial system.
You can expect a tidal wave of cope from the left to follow this news. While there are other “probes” going on, including a
farcical one in Atlanta, GA, that is going nowhere, this case in New York was supposed to be the silver bullet, as far as charging Trump criminally for something. There’s nothing left now but long-shot dreams surrounding a possible referral from the
January 6th committee, and as much of a hack as AG Merrick Garland is, he’s not going to hand the former president a big win prior to the 2024 election by taking on a bad case and losing.
