shed new light on his work with the SDNY's investigation, and what being in solitary confinement does to a human.

Which reminded me of the excellent, detailed work and brilliant prosecution strategy in court by the entire Bragg team. The more I learn about their work, the more I feel an Alvin Bragg appreciation thread is merited.

And I have appreciated his explanations. As for Alvin Bragg, he deserves praise for going forward and doing his job despite the abuse and attacks he also received from TFG. He truly does deserve kudos, we owe him a lot.

Thank Goodness for folks like Mr Bragg. They are easily recognizable. They are under constant bombardment by the likes of Donald trump. Simply Good versus Evil.

Michael Cohen opened my eyes in your post to what should be obvious to all. Trump has zero self esteem. He has to lash out ten times more. He would sell state secrets in prison or out of prison. All self esteem issues. His failures have been pointed out to him for decades. His crimes starting to be adjudicated. He thinks he is still a spoiled brat. He is full of hate. He is supported by people who have no desire to reason or think or separate the wheat from the chaff. Repeating fox chatter by aggrieved white folks bolsters up the bully. And the country suffers because trump is in constant need of a pat on the back.

When I heard what he said after his conviction. I wondered for the millionth time how anyone could possibly "like" this toxic and vengeful guy, who has never had the slightest concern for the rule of law, any concern for anyone other than himself - or the country. I agree that he is only full of hate - and I cannot understand how anyone at all could support such a vengeful and self-centered individual to lead this county.
