Judge Judy: DA Alvin Bragg’s Trump Case was Nonsense. You had to Twist Yourself into a Pretzel to Figure out What the Crime Was.

Dismissing the fact that prosecutors waited for years to bring their cases against Donald Trump, Chris Wallace started this part of the interview with judge Judy by suggesting that Trump was manipulating the system by filing motions in court (which is his right). Judge Judy, who is not a Trumpster, didn’t take the bait and told Wallace what she really thought about the Democrat cases against Trump and Democrat prosecutors (Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Letitia James). Below: video and transcript. Plus, a flashback of how Chris Wallace got Trump to say “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by,” which added to the false narrative that Trump is a racist and the leader of the Proud Boys.

Rush Transcript (emphasis added) CHRIS WALLACE: Donald Trump was indicted in four separate cases and his legal strategy was pretty clear. He wanted to push all of the trials past the election, which he succeeded in with the exception – it appears he’s going to succeed in – with the exception of the Manhattan hush money trial. That kind of effort to just use procedural motions, whatever, is that the justice system working, or is it the justice system being manipulated? JUDGE JUDY: I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney of New York County [Alvin Bragg] would take care of criminals who are making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway, to use his efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million of taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense. That’s my view. And that is a view that’s shared by a lot of people, but they won’t say it to you publicly because they’ll say she must be a Trumpster. That’s not true. But I, as a taxpayer in this country, resent using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement. Now, if you didn’t know – CHRIS WALLACE: That’s what you think the DA did in Manhattan? JUDGE JUDY: That’s what I think. That’s what I think. That’s what I think. If you look – you had to twist yourself into a pretzel to figure out what the crime was, to piggyback misdemeanors, to piggyback, you know, and – he doesn’t like him. New York City didn’t like him for a while. CHRIS WALLACE: Trump. JUDGE JUDY: Trump. You know, you hear what – Well, the worm is turning a little bit all over. It was bad thinking on the part of Letitia James – CHRIS WALLACE: The attorney general? JUDGE JUDY: Who nobody knew her name either. How much before Fani Wallace [Fani Willis] was? CHRIS WALLACE: She’s the DA in Fulton County in Georgia. JUDGE JUDY: And now you know James Comey. [Earlier, judge Judy said that former FBI James Comey was the prosecutor in the case against Martha Stewart – see minute 9:13] CHRIS WALLACE: What do you think of Donald Trump? JUDGE JUDY: What do I think of him? I think he was a good businessman, a real estate guy, and he was certainly terrific on The Apprentice. CHRIS WALLACE: What did you think of him as President of the United States? JUDGE JUDY: I don’t think that Donald ever should have been president and I don’t think that even Donald thought he was going to be president. I don’t think so. It was a personality contest between the two of them. I mean, at the time that Donald ran, he ran against somebody that people said, do I like him better or do I like her better? CHRIS WALLACE: He and Hillary [Clinton]? JUDGE JUDY: Yes. Right. And believe it or not – if we’re saying all the elections are right, people said, with all his Billy Bush and with all the womanizing and with Ivana and the divorce and the skiing, whatever it is, I know where he’s coming from – that’s what people said. I know where he’s coming from. Now, that may, may or may not be the truth.

FLASHBACK: Chris Wallace and Joe Biden Got Trump to Say “Proud Boys, Stand Back and Stand By” (Sept. 29, 2020) This video shows how Biden and then-Fox News leftist anchor Chris Wallace gang up on Trump to say “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by” during the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden on September 29, 2020. Chris Wallace – not Trump – is the one who starts with the ‘stand down’ phrase. As if Trump were the leader of the Proud Boys and white supremacists, leftist debate host Chris Wallace asks Trump if he is willing “to condemn white supremacists and militia groups … and to say that they need to stand down.” Trump starts to answer, but Wallace interrupts him and presses him to condemn the groups. Biden joins in and urges Trump to “say it, do it, say it” and to condemn “the Proud Boys, the Proud Boys!” Wallace and Biden wanted to overwhelm Trump. Once Trump says the infamous phrase, Biden smiles widely as if saying, “We got him.”

Biden Press Secretary: NY Case v. Trump was Done per Biden DOJ Timeline (Video)

Did Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed on Monday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump was coordinated with Biden’s Dept. of Justice? CASE: NY (Alvin Bragg) V. TRUMP Video and report below.

Video via Fox Business:

The NY Post reported (emphasis added): White House press secretary Jean-Pierre says Bragg case against Trump moved on Biden DOJ ‘timeline’ “The president talks about threats to democracy,” began reporter Edward Lawrence of Fox Business Network. “How is it not a threat to democracy when you have a prosecutor from the same political party as the president waiting seven years … to prosecute in an election year a former president who is now an opponent?” Lawrence asked. “That’s a question for the Department of Justice on their timeline and how this moves. I can’t answer that for you here,” Jean-Pierre replied — even though the Justice Department has denied being involved in Bragg’s decision to bring the case.

NY Civil Case: Trump Files Motion Calling for Judge Engoron’s Recusal

UPDATE ON CIVIL CASE: NY (AG LETITIA JAMES) V. TRUMP The Post Millennial reports: BREAKING: Trump attorneys file motion to get Judge Engoron off NY’s civil case against him On Thursday, Donald Trump’s legal team filed a motion in New York’s Supreme Court calling for the recusal of Judge Arthur Engoron from his civil fraud case…The filing stated that Engoron should step aside as a state judicial investigation into conduct plays out. Sources familiar with the investigation told NBC 4 that the probe is investigating whether Engoron had an improper conversation with high-profile real estate lawyer Adam Leitman Bailey in the weeks before Engoron’s judgment. Bailey told NBC New York that he had spoken with Engoron three weeks before the decision, offering unsolicited advice.

Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, posted on X: The New York Code of Judicial Conduct exists to ensure that litigants are afforded a fair and impartial trial. Justice Engoron’s communications with Attorney Adam Leitman Bailey regarding the merits of this case, however, directly violate that code and demonstrate that Judge Engoron cannot serve as a fair arbiter. It is clear that Judge Engoron should recuse himself immediately. The New York Code of Judicial Conduct exists to ensure that litigants are afforded a fair and impartial trial.

Trump NY Case: Mobsters (John Gotti, Lucky Luciano) Weren’t Silenced the Way Trump is with Gag Order, Law Expert Says

Constitutional attorney John Shu reacts to the NY appeals court rejecting Trump’s request to lift gag order in the New York (DA Alvin Bragg) case v. Trump. Report via Fox News (June 19, 2024) A New York appeals court on Tuesday kept in place a gag order on former President Trump, who asked the court to lift the ban on his speech after the recent guilty verdict in his unprecedented criminal trial. … [NY acting judge] Merchan imposed the gag order on Trump before the trial began, barring Trump from making or directing others to make public statements about witnesses with regard to their potential participation or about counsel in the case – other than Bragg – or about court staff, DA staff or family members of staff. John Shu, a constitutional attorney who served in both Bush administrations, noted that some of New York’s highest-profile defendants were not subject to such a gag order as the 45th president. “The Manhattan DA’s office has charged all kinds of high-profile criminal defendants throughout its history, ranging from celebrities to gangsters, such as Lucky Luciano, the head of La Commissione, and they weren’t silenced the way former President Trump was,” said Shu. “Neither was John Gotti, the former head of the Gambino crime family and known as the ‘Teflon Don,’” he said, though that was a federal case. “Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he’s not a mobster,” Shu added. Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, noted: “The Gag Order wrongfully silences the leading candidate for President of the United States, President Trump, at the height of his campaign. The Gag Order applies only to President Trump and not to any of his political opponents, critics, or even Crooked Joe Biden,” Cheung wrote.

TRUMP New York appeals court rejects Trump’s bid to lift gag order Via Fox News (June 18, 2024): The New York Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected former President Trump’s bid to have the gag order against him lifted, citing that “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.” Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order that restricts the former president and presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee from speaking about witnesses and the case now that Trump’s trial has concluded.

Trump NY Case: DA Alvin Bragg Sued for Collusion with Biden Admin. (June 12, 2024)

America First Legal filed this week a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg coordinated with the Biden campaign to prosecute Donald Trump and to influence the 2024 election. The link here is prosecutor Matthew Colangelo According to The New York Times, Colangelo “has a history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business” and: – worked in the Obama administration – then went to work for the New York attorney general’s office where he led dozens of lawsuits against the Trump Administration, oversaw the investigation into the Trump Foundation (which caused the organization to dissolve), led the civil inquiry which resulted in AG Letitia James’ lawsuit against Trump. – became the #3 in Biden’s Dept. of Justice – then was hired (a reduction in rank!!) by local NY DA Alvin Bragg to lead the Manhattan prosecution of Trump where a jury decided to convict Trump. [RELATED: Irregularities in NY v. Trump Trial: The Prosecutors & Biden] The FEC complaint also cites Colangelo’s donations to Alvin Bragg and alleges violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). Summary of the Complaint via the Washington Examiner: ‘Bragg and Biden campaign ‘coordinated’ to influence 2024 election: FEC complaint’ [America First Legal] claimed that Bragg’s prosecution constitutes a “coordinated expenditure” under FECA, resulting in an in-kind contribution to Biden’s campaign exceeding the $3,300 per election limit. The Biden campaign failed to disclose this alleged contribution, violating FEC regulations. … The complaint also detailed that in December 2022, Bragg hired prosecutor Matthew Colangelo to expedite the investigation of Trump. Colangelo, who left his position as the No. 3 official in the Biden Justice Department, has a history of legal actions against Trump. Prior to joining Bragg’s office, Colangelo held senior roles in the DOJ and the New York attorney general’s office, both of which had investigations into Trump. Notably, Colangelo also contributed to Bragg’s district attorney campaign before joining the Biden DOJ.

SHOW NOTES: Trump Prosecutor Alvin Bragg was hit with a formal FEC complaint for colluding with the Biden Administration in their political prosecution of Trump. #Trump #Trial #NewYork

READ THE FEC COMPLAINT Via America First Legal: FEC Complaint Press Release: America First Legal Files Complaint with the Federal Election Commission Against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the Biden Campaign for Violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal administrative complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against New York County District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. and Joe Biden’s principal campaign committee, Biden for President, for violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act. In December 2022, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly hired Matthew B. Colangelo to “jump-start” his office’s investigation of President Trump due to Mr. Colangelo’s “history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business.” Colangelo left his post as the number three in the DOJ to join the district attorney’s office – a move that reeks of partisanship. Colangelo previously held senior positions in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the New York Attorney General’s Office, both of which had competing investigations related to President Trump. Notably, before joining the Biden DOJ, Colangelo contributed several times to Bragg’s District Attorney campaign. … The available information indicates that Bragg’s hush money prosecution was “coordinated” with President Biden, i.e., it was made “in cooperation, consultation or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of” Biden. … The overall record in these matters — including Colangelo’s “jump-starting” of the case, Garland’s refusal to disclose communications between his Department and Bragg’s office, and the Biden campaign’s press event and statement immediately after the trial and conviction — indicates that Bragg’s hush money prosecution was made to harm President Trump’s 2024 candidacy and would not have been made absent President Trump’s status as a presidential candidate. The outlined information indicates that the Biden Campaign violated its disclosure obligations under the Federal Election Campaign Act when they failed to publicly disclose required contribution information in connection with the Bragg prosecution as a “coordinated expenditure.” A coordinated expenditure must be reported as both a contribution received by and an expenditure made by the authorized committees of the candidate with whom the expenditure was coordinated. Video: AG Garland refusing to disclose communications between the DOJ and Bragg’s office “Without denying the existence of communications between the Biden DOJ and Bragg’s District Attorney’s Office, Attorney General Merrick Garland refused during a congressional hearing to commit to turning over communications between the DOJ and Bragg’s Office,” America First Legal explained.
