No president in history has faced more corrupt lawfare than Donald Trump, and that didn’t end once he left office. Many criminal investigations are being conducted in several far-left neighborhoods, including New York City, Atlanta and other places, to try and throw Trump into prison.
You see, unlike most criminal investigations, these probes didn’t start with a clearly defined crime that demanded justice. They started with a political goal, and all the rest has followed from that.
As you’d expect, those corrupt practices have led to some hiccups, most recently with the probe happening out of the Manhattan DA’s office. RedState published a February report on two resignations by lead prosecutors, who were unhappy that the new elected DA (a Democrat), was expressing doubts about their case.
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.
We are now learning about Carey Dunnes, Mark Pomerantz and the other prosecutors involved. It is quite distressing.
So it turns out those prosecutors who resigned over the Trump criminal probe in NY are political hacks who just couldn’t cope with the fact their case was crap. https://t.co/HuhPV2ieqb

While they were far from being impartial upholders, Dunnes was and Pomerantz weren’t partisan hackers who were so obsessed with Donald Trump they even suggested that they go to trial, despite the fact they were likely to lose. They were logical. That it’s better to try and fail than to be “on the wrong side of history,” a common leftwing trope popularized by Barack Obama. Dunnes, even after admitting the case was weak, insisted it should move forward anyway because it was “a righteous case that ought to be brought.” Pomerantz, a 70-year-old man, actually came out of retirement without pay in order to join the investigation.
This means that these prosecutors didn’t use their vast power to get justice. Rather, they saw Trump as a political enemy that needed to be punished, even if he didn’t actually do anything wrong. That’s insane and represents an incredibly corrupt misuse of the criminal justice system. These men shouldn’t be permitted to resign. They must be barred.
All of it comes down to Trump’s 2024 run. Dunnes, Pomerantz and others believed they could make Trump a problem by bringing him to trial over the course of several years. But they were so bad at building their case, even career prosecutors left the probe.
Prosecution misconduct must be addressed in the country. If this can happen to a former president, imagine how many normal people are wrongly prosecuted and ruined over a prosecutor’s vendetta?
