Alvin Bragg thought he had all his ducks in a row to convict Donald Trump with his rigged show trial.
But now all hell is breaking loose.
And Donald Trump hit Alvin Bragg with one brutal truth that will change everything.
Alvin Bragg’s bogus criminal trial may keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail.
That doesn’t mean a master showman like Trump doesn’t know how to generate maximum media attention to communicate his message to the American people.
Each day he enters and leaves the kangaroo court in Manhattan, Trump will spend time speaking to reporters and trash the politically motivated charges Bragg filed against him while tearing into Joe Biden as the worst President in American history.
“This is a witch hunt, and it’s a shame.”

Trump makes a point to read news articles quoting legal scholars like former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy and George Washington University legal professor Jonathan Turley describing Bragg’s case as a farce and an “embarrassment” to the legal system.
Over on MSNBC, legal analyst David Henderson told host Andrea Mitchell he was worried Trump’s speeches about the flimsy nature of Bragg’s charges would sink in with the jurors.
Henderson especially worried about Trump’s point that prosecutors investigated this falsification of business records tied to a campaign finance violation theory since 2018 and passed on it because it held no legal merit.
“If I was on this … trial team, how would I feel about this? It makes me nervous because these days I think jurors are influenced by what happens in the press … What actually makes me really nervous are two things. One, him talking about how long it took to bring the case and him talking about the fact that other agencies didn’t bring the case,” Henderson warned.
“I’m not persuaded by that. None of us on this panel are persuaded by that, but some jurors sometimes will be persuaded by that.”
Bragg only indicted Trump in 2023 with the five-year statute of limitations set to expire and under massive pressure from his political base anti-Trump prosecutors.
Of course, the unspoken flipside to Henderson’s concerns would be that if Bragg actually had a real case built on a foundation of solid evidence and a legal theory, then Bragg would be able to present an airtight argument centered on criminal allegations that Donald Trump committed an actual crime.
But since Bragg is taking a jerry-rigged legal theory to prop up an imaginary crime to the jury, Henderson is rightly worried that Donald Trump telling the truth will sway the jury.
