Trump Financial Crimes at the Center of New York DA's Office Discord - Talking Feds

[Rhiannon12866]

Harry and Andrew Weissmann dissect the complicated, high-profile war of words between Mark Pomerantz and New York DA Alvin Bragg prompted by Pomerantz’s new book, People v Donald Trump. The two begin with an in-depth discussion of the ethical problems that mire Pomerantz’s publication, including specific analysis of how the book might impair Bragg’s ongoing investigation.

They turn to the discrepancies between the facts as we know them from the time Bragg put the brakes on the case and Pomerantz’s current assertion that the case would have been indicted “in a flat second” had the defendant been anyone other than Donald Trump. And they carefully work though a number of evidentiary and legal questions that bear on prosecutorial strategy and bringing the case to a successful conclusion. It’s a far more detailed and nuanced discussion than the cable hits on the Pomerantz book this week, informed by the two’s extensive prosecutorial experience. - 02/07/2023.

That a prominent citizen was having an affair with the mayor and both were being blackmailed by the scorned lover of a former councilman would I have to write a book about it and have it published before I might mention it to someone in the DAs office?
