“What we have as of tonight is an indictment that does not allege specific violations of the law”
The only mainstream journalist anywhere on the planet who is not gloating and revelling in the trial of Donald Trump, is Tucker Carlson. The Fox News anchor succinctly summarised the Trump indictment case Tuesday, calling it “the boldest election interference ever attempted in this country’s history.”
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson succinctly summarised the Trump indictment case Tuesday, calling it “the boldest election interference ever attempted in this country’s history.”
Carlson noted, “if you doubt that, if you think it’s maybe on the level, then we suggest you look carefully at the indictment that was unveiled today. Donald Trump, as you’ve probably heard, has been charged with 34 separate crimes. Those crimes turn out on close examination to be the same crime repeated 34 times, and that crime is ‘falsifying business records in the first degree.'”
Carlson explained, “the Manhattan D.A. alleges that Donald Trump sent his own money to various people for various entirely legal reasons, but didn’t account for it correctly in his office records. That’s what he’s accused of. And even if what Alvin Bragg has said Trump did, he actually did do, Trump could not be charged with that because the statute of limitations has expired.”
Carlson added that “Bragg dragged Trump into court “by claiming that Trump falsified business records as a means of violating some other much more serious law.”
“What is the more serious crime? Well, we have no idea, because Bragg hasn’t told us,” Carlson continued, adding “No such more serious crime is listed in the indictment. And critically, and this really is the point. Donald Trump has not been charged with another more serious crime. So what we have as of tonight is an indictment that does not allege specific violations of the law. Well, that’s, of course, unconstitutional, but it’s also farcical.”
Trump reacted to the media circus by slamming New York City DA Alvin Bragg, stating “the criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information for which he should be prosecuted, or at a minimum, he should resign.”
The American legal and political systems on show. The finest that dirty money can buy...allegedly😂🤣
