Trump Is Guilty of 'Numerous' Felonies, Prosecutor Who Resigned Says

[Suburban Warrior]

Source: N.Y. Times

One of the senior Manhattan prosecutors who investigated Donald J. Trump believed that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it was “a grave failure of justice” not to hold him accountable, according to a copy of his resignation letter.

The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted his resignation last month after the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, abruptly stopped pursuing an indictment of Mr. Trump.

Mr. Pomerantz, 70, a prominent former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense lawyer who came out of retirement to work on the Trump investigation, resigned on the same day as Carey R. Dunne, another senior prosecutor leading the inquiry.

Mr. Pomerantz’s Feb. 23 letter, obtained by The New York Times, offers a personal account of his decision to resign and for the first time states explicitly his belief that the office could have convicted the former president. Mr. Bragg’s decision was “contrary to the public interest,” he wrote.

1. Somebody should be able to sue the DA

[gab13by13]

31. There is a suggestion,

to petition the governor to take the case away from Bragg and give it to another prosecutor, like Letitia.

I can see why Pomerantz is pissed, he agreed to work for free. He was the financial expert who sorted through all of Trump's documents.

[Karadeniz]

41. I hope people get behind the petition. Did the DA think no one would notice!!!

[maxsolomon]

2. Quelle suprise. IOKIYAR strikes again.

"No one is above the law".

[rockfordfile]

Thanks.

[GB_RN]

19. On The Take, Basically...

N/T

[appmanga]

24. And next up...

[Chainfire]

6. The fix was in.

The fix will also be in on Trump's federal cases.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. My suspicions all along NC

[PatrickforB]

7. Gosh darned right it is 'contrary to the public interest'!!!

You bet it is.

I wonder how much money changed hands...

[DENVERPOPS]

11. I suspect alot

or they threatened his life and his family lives........which is far more likely.........

whatever happened to the DA before him/?????????

[gab13by13]

32. Cy Vance Jr. resigned, his term was up.

[DENVERPOPS]

39. thx gab

I have a hard time keeping all this straight.....

[L. Coyote]

8. Can't the State of New York take over the case now?

[gab13by13]

43. The state, DA of Manhattan, dropped the case, or so it seems,

it would be nice for the NY AG, Tish James, to take the case, she was working with the Manhattan prosecutors.

[L. Coyote]

48. Here's the answer, at the end of the video:

[bluestarone]

12. Sure seems like we've been

INFILTRATED!!!!! (can't help but feeling that way now)

[Peregrine Took]

13. One honest man.

Thank you.

[yaesu]

15. I think tRump, like many puppets of the rich elite class including putin, are protected, untouchable

in this corrupt capitalistic country we call the US. We need to except the idea that the 2 justice system USA will not change anytime soon.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Sad but true.

[bluestarone]

16. Why didn't they BOTH hold a press conference

Instead of resigning??

[gab13by13]

46. Most likely can't

because technically it's still an ongoing investigation.

[JI7]

18. Alvin Bragg was paid off

[Rebl2]

20. He should be

investigated or at least questioned.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Lock him up!!!!!

[Generic Brad]

29. What law did he break?

I am NOT defending his decision and I share your anger. I just don't think righteous indignation is an adequate enough reason to lock someone up.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. Lock Trump up

Hope that makes it clearer.

[stopdiggin]

37. +1. Thank you

The knee jerk "lock 'em up" chant chant makes us look like the MAGA gerbils.

Do we have a 'charge' we're prepared to level against this DA?
Some here are suggesting payoffs and bribery. If there is any substance to those claims (which to date we haven't seen) - that is one thing. On the other hand, unpopular decisions, (or righteous indignation as you point out) - aren't really grounds for jailing someone. And we should stop bleating this ridiculous mantra - all the while making ourselves look like authoritarian chumps.

[DLevine]

54. Yo Mama was saying lock Trump up. nt

[Joinfortmill]

22. Something very fishy here.

[L. Coyote]

23. John W. Dean "Time for SDNY to step up and indict Trump."

Link to tweet

[dchill]

25. Sounds good to me. Also sounds RIGHT.

[Snackshack]

26. This is sickening.

In the past 24hrs we passed 1 million Americans that have died from COVID-19. (per Worldometers)

A coup was attempted that appears to even include congress members and 2 SCOTUS justices… this on top of the “numerous felony violations” and our Justice Department is by all accounts from congressmen and journalists not doing anything at all.

This is sickening and I will never look at the country I was born and raised in the same again.

[onetexan]

27. I haven't the time to read his full resignation letter

Can someone leme know why pomerantz had to resign as well if he thought the Con is guilty as sin?

[gab13by13]

33. The 2 prosecutors resigned

because Bragg was obstructing their prosecution. They realized that Bragg wasn't going forward with the case. Bragg put the brakes on their prosecution.

[ffr]

28. Someone at DOJ with Zelensky's courage needs to stand up for justice

Arrest TFG and charge the motherf*cker!

[Marcuse]

30. Calling Attorney General James and her Public Integrity Bureau.

https://ag.ny.gov/bureau/public-integrity-bureau

[gab13by13]

34. Better yet,

get the governor to give the case to Letitia.

[Marcuse]

36. I'm not sure the AG needs to wait for a referral from anyone.

https://ag.ny.gov/bureau/criminal-enforcement-and-financial-crimes-bureau

[gab13by13]

38. She would be my choice then,

since she has been working with the DA prosecutors, and she has guts.

[Marcuse]

42. She could hire Pomerantz and Dunne.

[gab13by13]

44. Yup, and Pomerantz was working for free.

[gab13by13]

45. I naively thought the states would get Trump,

at least make the effort. I still believe that Letitia will nail Trump, but that's just a civil case.

I still see zero evidence that DOJ will go after the Big Fish.

Day 98 since the select committee sent the Mark Meadows criminal referral to DOJ.
Day 70 since the Michigan AG sent the fake elector referral to DOJ.

Looks like Steve Bannon is the only guy who DOJ indicted, Bannon will have to sue them since none of his cronies were indicted.

It will soon be Kornacki time when DOJ can't reveal ongoing investigations. Tick Tock.

[TexasTowelie]

47. If I recall correctly,

in New York an attorney can be disbarred; however, they still retain their license.

[Jetheels]

49. Who needs republicans,

When you have Bragg, Garland.

[Karma13612]

51. Shades of Florida AG Acosta

This just stinks.

Glad it hit the press. Now we know we were being gaslighted by Bragg.

Wonder what the OTHER resignation letter would reveal? But this one is bad enuf that Bragg NEEDS to answer for it.

55. Manhattan DA Returns Evidence

https://www.yahoo.com/news/manhattan-da-returning-evidence-witnesses-134804872.html


The Manhattan DA is returning evidence to witnesses in its Donald Trump investigation, per The Daily Beast.

Two sources told the outlet that witnesses who gave evidence to prosecutors had been receiving it back recently.

Prosecutors generally return evidence to witnesses after an investigation has concluded, or when they no longer believe a crime has taken place.
