Surprise move: The top New York prosecutor who is pursuing Donald Trump criminal charges has suddenly resigned. This was after Alvin Bragg (the Manhattan District Attorney) expressed doubts regarding the suit’s progress. It is worth noting that Bragg, himself a Far-Left figure refutes claims of Trump political favoritism.

Breaking News: The prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney’s inquiry into Donald Trump have resigned. D.A. The D.A. https://t.co/n6W30FopJw

The two prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into former President Donald J. Trump and his business practices abruptly resigned on Wednesday amid a monthlong pause in their presentation of evidence to a grand jury, according to people with knowledge of the matter. This shocking development occurs just a few months after high-stakes inquiries seemed to have gained momentum and casts serious doubt on its future.
Carey R. Dunne & Mark F. Pomerantz submitted their resignations following Alvin Bragg’s announcement to them that he had reservations about pursuing a case against Trump.
Bragg’s predecessor had accelerated the probe last fall, empaneling a grand jury and receiving much fanfare, especially from the media-sphere. While the case was moving forward as intended, Bragg assumed office. However, these resignations are a sign of a 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. The prosecutors were determined to get to trial regardless of what. This was to damage Trump and create bad headlines over the years. That kind of lawfare is disgusting, and it’s everything that’s wrong with our judicial system.
The left will respond with a torrential stream of love and coercion to this story. 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.
The walls didn’t close down in the end. But the left won’t stop. They’ll keep other witch-hunts going as long as they can, and when Trump is gone from the national stage, they’ll use the same tactics against the next major Republican figure. When it comes to criminalizing political opponents, we have long since crossed the Rubicon.
