The intensely political New York City District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, has told the grand jury in the Trump proceedings not to report today.
This grand jury has been meeting on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, according to Business Insider who was the first to report today’s cancellation. President Trump responded to the delay via Truth Social:
New York – […] The Manhattan ‘hush-money’ grand jury has been told not to come in on Wednesday, a cancellation that comes on the brink of a possible historic indictment vote of former President Donald Trump, according to two law enforcement officers.
And while nothing beyond Wednesday is set in stone, it is unlikely that the grand jury will meet at all this week, said one of the law enforcement sources, who spoke to Insider on condition of anonymity.
[…] Grand juries convene in secret, and prosecutors are statutorily barred from discussing what they do. The pause comes after unexpected testimony Monday by Robert Costello, who was allowed to address the grand jurors at the defense’s request. Costello, who previously served as Cohen’s legal advisor, said at a press conference Monday that he attacked his former client’s credibility during his testimony. Cohen had just spent two days of testimony walking grand jurors through the chronology of Trump’s involvement in the payment. (read more)
The legal merits of the campaign finance case are farcical on their face, as admitted by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), previously litigated via legal precedent (John Edwards case), and even Supreme Court interpretation (VA Gov Bob McDonnell case). Even Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann didn’t want to touch this approach.
Additionally, even if there was a legal issue, there isn’t, the statute of limitations on the claimed infraction has expired. Furthermore, and seemingly overlooked by most pundits opining on the issue, the legal issue Bragg is attempting to weaponize is a federal campaign finance issue, out of the jurisdiction of the Manhattan district attorney. So, what gives?
Why would George Soros funded District Attorney Alvin Bragg proceed with a case that was structurally designed to fail on every aspect of the case? The answer, ‘politics’, pure banana republic politics.
Hillary Clinton was found to have violated campaign finance laws when her campaign used “legal expenses” to pay for the creation of the Christopher Steele dossier; the originating material for the false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory. Hillary Clinton was fined by the FEC for not accurately identifying the payments to Fusion GPS as campaign expenses; however, she WAS NOT prosecuted by the DOJ for the issue.
Despite the dismissal of the serious issue this case represents, by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a flippant dismissal that is garnering him a great deal of righteous condemnation, the extreme double standard represented in this case against President Trump is what forms the basis for American citizens to be angered about the dual system of justice. It’s a big deal…. A very big deal.
Ron DeSantis rips Trump’s character, chaotic leadership style
THIS POS IS NOW ATTACKING TRUMP OPENLY
https://nypost.com/2023/03/21/ron-desantis-opens-fire-on-trumps-character-chaotic-style/
DeSanctimonious is making a fatal error going after the King of Zingers. President Trump can unload on the Meatball mercilessly. It will be so bad that the Florida governor will soon cry ‘no mas’.
He knows he is sin ling in the polls, so now he will resort to character attacks. De Santis political career is over.
That’s what everyone thought about joey biden too. Never underestimate the power of evil.
The plan sounds more like defeat DeSantis or get him out of the way more than anything else. And that’s the thing when you sell out, they own you and you fall on your sword. RIP
They hate trump for that reason and I will be honest they hate Hillary too for the same reason but her in a presidential position will be dangerous to the globalists because she wants all the power and doesn’t play nice with others. She could destroy all their plans for her selfish gain, and she would. Bill gave her a nasty STD that rotted her brain. I’m sure Bill smiles at that as his greatest accomplishment. Nasty bunch they are.
It would never surprise me if SHE was the one to give the nasty STD to him!
After giving him knock out drops!!!
Sounds more like a Democrat every day. Attacks and division without one clue how to make America great again.
You can blame the democrat light stance on his blindly following his handlers.
He’s surrounding himself with nimratta supporters.
They will use the gov to try and harm the PRESIDENT, then they will leak shit about the gov to take him out leaving nimratta to graciously fill the void her people created.
Sounds about right!
What in Blazes is supposedly “LIGHT” abut it?????
That’s what he’s been “hired” to do. No surprise.
In my opinion, he’s EARNED NOTHING ON HIS OWN: he was losing badly to a coke head until Trump stepped in.
Then, he copies Trump, meets with Trump, evidently shakes on a deal of some sort.
Then, Karl Rove and the BIG BOY Club for Growth gets ahold of him.
IT shouldn’t have surprised us. HIs Congressional record left no imprint. He was no Matt Gaetz, who has took on the big guys from the 1/435th part of the House he hold. He was a nobody who voted with the GOP-e. No creativity. No big voice. No coalition building…nada.
An empty vessel of self-promotion, who voted for the U.S. killing TPP. Never forget that…
The TPP written by Cruz and Heidi….
You have NO WAY of knowing he hooded up with Rove and Company LATER ON…
They prolly put him up to asking Trump for the Endorsement, KNOWING THEIR OWN would only SINK HIM. FAIR SURE!!!
They tell him to go ask Trump for an endorsement, then he goes back to Karl for Advice and Ken Griffin’s ph #.
Ron saying he doesn’t even know the definition of ‘sanctimonious’ shows his ignorance, and the entire interview proves that he IS INDEED sanctimonious! Trump MAGA 2024!
Won’t be long Ron Desanitized – let’s hear you when the press start eating you alive
What actually matters to America Mr. DeSwampass ?
Wait til they come for you Ron!
Right. It’s as if DeS supporters think the democrats wouldn’t maim DeS if he got the nomination.
WRONG, DeSoros.
DeSantis said “I have real problems to deal with in Florida.” And “I have to spend my time on problems that matter to people.”
So Ron “The RNC Bitch Boy” DeSanctimonious, why are you traveling to other states to campaign? What does that have to do with Florida.
He’s so ignernt, he don’t even KNOW!
Chaos at court as Trump grand jury hearing canceled, Bragg now concerned about indictment and ADAs are ‘shaking their heads’
The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence against former President Donald Trump won’t reconvene Wednesday as scheduled, court officials told The Post.
The move — which forestalls a potentially unprecedented indictment of the 45th president in connection with the payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels — came because an unidentified witness was unable to appear, sources said.
The witness is believed to be someone who will rebut Monday’s testimony from lawyer and Trump ally Robert Costello, sources said.

“This angle is obviously dead.” The expected “surge of angry Trump Supporters™” did not appear on-cue. Even though they were given an entire weekend to get into their pickup trucks.
Therefore: in order to “Get Trump! Get Trump!! Get Trump!!!” George Soros must move along to “Plans B and C.”
That’s beautiful!
Who’s the unidentified witness, Stormy or Avenatti?
MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Seems to me that prosecutors theoretically represent “the people”. So “the people” in New York might want to file bar complaints against Fat Albert. NYC and New York State. Jurisdiction is the city. https://www.nycbar.org/for-the-public/about-lawyers-and-judges/complaints-about-lawyers-and-judges-how and https://www.nycourts.gov/courts/ad1/Committees&Programs/DDC/index.shtml
.
It seems to me that the libtard bar Associations are only interested in investigating Republican lawyers.
The libtard always gets a pass from the corrupted bar Association.
.
They can’t investigate without a complaint. (I suspect that if roles were switched “lawfare” already would have inundated the bars with complaints.)
.
LOL, the Feds told him to stand-down for a while. There is a back-order on Maga hats and flags. Rioting supplies are also getting harder and harder to acquire these days with all the supply chain issues.
The rent-a-mobs that work for the FBI and DOJ are also asking for more cash. NYC is expensive!
You are watching your tax dollars in-action.
Did Bragg know, and if so, when did he know…
“The backfire of the century cometh.
For Trump, his arrest will be a very good day for him and it may be the day many will mark as the true day his 2024 presidential campaign founds its footing”

What makes you think the GJ hasn’t already indicted PDJT n Bragg is waiting for the next terrorist attack, etc to execute the arrest.
it would have been leaked by now
MY QUESTION:
WHY DOESNT THE GOP HAVE ITS OWN “LAWFARE” TYPRE LAWYERS??????
It does. They are on the same side as the DNC lawyers.
The question is where are the MAGA Lawfare Lawyers? Answer: They are present. They are guerilla lawfare lawyers, media experts, and counter psyops lawyers. You can’t see them, you will only see the carnage they leave behind.
More Carnage, please!
So… when is “enough” ENOUGH?
The Continuing Saga of the walls are closing in on Trump, Part 12
Every time, the charges and the rhetoric get more and more ridiculous.
The bottom of the barrel has been scraped down to the wood and still they got nothing.
Agreed. The sad truth is that I kinda hoped they would actually do it. It’s completely selfish, I know, but I am all-in for PDJT and want him to WIN, WIN , WIN! To borrow your metaphor, I’m not sure how he wins 2024 without scraping the bottom of the barrel for all the Anon voters he can get, and they require a lot of high-charge energy and excitement to motivate them to get out and vote.
This is just a prayer and a hope for DA Bragg and the City of New York, the people of his state and our country in general . . . if Mr. Bragg would say,
“Look, I have been on the totally wrong path. I am going to have to find a way to reverse my course, to take another path. Among those who supported me for DA, one of the primary incentives for supporting me was the effort to prosecute Donald Trump. I have failed those constituents who supported me because of that. One of my major campaign contributors was Mr. George Soros and my first step will be to acknowledge that he DID help my campaign and then to return that monetary support to him.
I have a duty to the people of this city in general which exceeds what other people’s aspirations may be or even my own aspirations, that I thought I had. I have a duty to all of millions of New Yorkers who may or or may not have supported me for DA but they should all have a normal expectation of safety and serenity.
What I need to really do is serve the people of New York . . . New York that was the home for my parents, me, our family.
Rightly so, it has been pointed out to me that things are crumbling around us and it is time to put things back together for the people of New York, to make it safer and better for all of us.
So with that in mind, I am going to abandon the philosophy, the approach, to law enforcement that has only done harm to this beautiful city and other cities across our country. I apologize to the people of New York and while I cannot undo the damage that has been done to our domestic tranquility, I want to start right here and now, bringing back some of the things that made New York City a place that people wanted to visit and with that in mind, I would hope that our current Mayor would revisit some of the things which Mayor Giuliani did.
All right, not only Rudy Giuliani but business people like Donald Trump who worked hard to boost the city, to make it a great place to visit and stay. This would be a good time to apologize for putting you through this, Mr. Trump. I am – indeed – sorry.
Those of you who supported me in my prosecution of Donald Trump, I apologize to you as well as I should not have gone there in the first place and if that is the sole reason why you gave me your vote, then I have failed in that promise. This week brought me to a “final straw” moment when we had received notice that THREE of our jurors expected for the current Grand Jury were mugged on their way here to the courthouse. That is unacceptable.
I hope our city can go forward. Thank you.”
Something like that.
Yes, I know what you’re saying, “suejeanne – what are you drinking – smoking – taking – or if you aren’t drinking – smoking – taking something – then are you just naturally an idiot?”
I get it – but I am saying it’s a prayer and a hope!
I hope the House still wants to see Bragg on Thursdsy
I knew he was a turd…early on. RINO Ron is done
This is what you get when you hire because of EQUITY which most of Bidens employees are. Result. Just look around and see the mess.
The left lies so much that even the title of Alinsky’s book is a lie.
It’s not a rule book, it’s a tactical manual.
Bragg may have been doing this just to get the visuals of Trump in handcuffs on every major news outlet. That was all that mattered. Once the secret service said they wouldn’t allow Trump to be put in cuffs, there was no longer any point.
Bragg has to put things on hold so his boss soros can tell him what to do next…
“however, she (HRC) WAS NOT prosecuted by the DOJ for the issue”
Wasn’t this the issue James Comey said “no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute?”
This will fade away and next week’s headlines will be, “Trump being investigated for…” whatever the next personality politics attack may be.
I smell a Friday night news dump by Bragg explaining that while Trump is, of course guilty, out of concern for our Republic, he will not press charges.
Looking to be that the money paid to Cohen for ‘legal fees’ to settle ‘a’ bill requires all critical documents and evidence to be made public. This payment was to Cohen not Daniels.
FLASHBACK :
Feb 14, 2018
Michael Cohen says he paid off Stormy Daniels using his own money
Michael Cohen, told the New York Times that he personally paid $130,000 Stormy Daniels
— Cohen’s statement to the New York Times
President Trump, when asked said he did not pay Daniels. “You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen”
The prosecution’s case based on Cohen’s testimonies, that of (a convicted felon for fraud, lies) who is still talking all over public TV – is flimsy as itis for basing the case also on Daniel’s testimonies.
The campaign finance violation does not hold water.
Bragg is now throwing a fit and back-pedaling at House GOP for asking questions, demanding documents, and interviews into what looks like the political targeting of President Donald Trump. House GOP wants all communications between Bragg and the two attorneys who quit, to be submitted. Bragg’s office called the lawmakers’ requests “an unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty” as well as argued that “federal funding is an insufficient basis to justify these unconstitutional requests.”
Is this all “False expectation?”
…. leaking out of Bragg’s office was what precipitated all this response, Trump didn’t make that up, he was reacting to it. Is Bragg now saying that it’s wrong to assume that there will be an arrest? It sounds like he’s backpedaling.
Besides, If he just thought that he could sneak this turkey case by the grand jury, get an indictment of the former president of the United States in a case that he had previously REFUSED to pursue, he’s delusional. People are rightly concerned about the rule of law and political prosecutions. This is a large stride down the Banana Republic road.
