Newshour - Court mulls possible indictment of Trump - BBC Sounds

..."A significant development

Throughout his time in office, Donald Trump dismissed any probe into his financial dealings or those of his organisation as a politically-motivated "witch hunt" led by Democrats desperate to see him forced from power.

Yet now that he no longer enjoys protection from prosecution, this latest development will trouble him. That a former US president is facing not one but two criminal investigations is a significant development, one which could have repercussions for his political future.

The New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, clearly believes that there is enough at play to warrant moving the investigation from a civil to a criminal one. When combined with the ongoing examination of the former president's tax returns by the Manhattan District Attorney, Cy Vance, Mr Trump is looking at a complex and tangled legal battle ahead — one which he remains adamant he shouldn't have to face but which he now almost certainly cannot avoid."

The case against Trump is a misdemeanor that has gone past the statute of limitations. Alvin Bragg can’t prosecute actual criminals but he does like to grand stand. Problem for Bragg is a defense lawyer for Micheal Cohen pointed out to the Grand Jury that Cohen lied about a bunch of “ evidence” against Trump.

Today a former district attorney of New York was talking about the John Edwards case. Something about that it really isn't a felony if president Trump was trying to keep the affair with Stormy Daniels quiet just like Democrat Senator John Edwards tried keeping the story quiet about paying his pregnant lover? So there is case precedence that will torpedo the chances for Alvin Bragg to be a hypocritical hero and the Democratic anti-trump Realm will have Tantrums will be crying and getting upset like girly men when they fail miserably!
