Least robust

Initially viewed by liberal commentators and legal analysts as the least robust among the four cases filed against the former president, D.A. Bragg’s case has now emerged as the most probable to proceed to trial before election day.

Weaknesses

Legal analysts have consistently identified weaknesses in the case presented by Bragg against Trump.

COVID-related

The Manhattan District Attorney leveraged COVID-related policies to extend the statute of limitations for an administrative payment mistake, typically considered a misdemeanor.

Conspiracy

Bragg subsequently elevated the accusation to a felony, alleging a “conspiracy” to engage in another offense.

Additional crime

However, Bragg has not clarified the nature of this alleged additional crime.

Against Trump

Greg Jarrett contends that the allegations against Trump do not meet the threshold for a criminal violation.

Instead, Jarrett argues that Bragg’s pursuit of the case is driven more by political motives than by legal justification.

Misdemeanor

Jarrett made these remarks on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” saying, “You know, instead, the DA Alvin Bragg accuses Trump of falsely accounting for it. At best that’s a mere misdemeanor as you point out. That was barred long ago by the statute of limitations. So Bragg is trying to circumvent that by twisting the law and claiming oh it’s an illegal campaign donation and thus a felony. No, it’s not.”

Political maneuver

The timing and context of the trial have ignited discussions, with some interpreting the prosecution’s actions as a calculated political maneuver.

Potential partiality

Fox News

Jarrett pointed out potential partiality in the trial’s arrangement, especially concerning the jury selection process in Manhattan, where anti-Trump sentiments could potentially impact the verdict.

Sixth amendment

Fox News

“Yeah and Trump is fighting for a fair trial Brian and an impartial jury that’s his constitutional right under the sixth amendment but in Manhattan as you say the deck is stacked against him,” Jarrett commented.

Raised concerns

Fox News

Jarrett raised concerns about the trial judge’s impartiality due to a conflict of interest involving the judge’s daughter. He criticized the rush to judgment in Trump’s case, suggesting it’s timed close to the presidential election.

Legal battles

Fox News

Trump faces multiple legal battles, including those from his time in office, which could impact his campaign activities, according to Jarrett.

Hush money

Fox News

The legal case concerning Trump and hush money payments revolves around payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, who alleged having affairs with Trump – allegations he has refuted.

These payments were made prior to the 2016 presidential election, purportedly to keep the women’s claims private and avoid any impact on the election results.
