“I was concerned about the location of Bragg’s office and we talked about it early this morning; The worst possible scenario, in my opinion, is to keep this issue in abeyance for four years of administration. You can’t have a local district attorney act like a freak on a leash when he can tell a sitting president I’m going to end this when you leave office.

It takes the district attorney to a strange level. It also designates this local judge to determine the final outcome for the president of the United States. Continuing such a problem for the next four years serves neither the nation nor justice. Now it certainly serves everyone in New York politically. This probably serves Bragg to serve this judge politically, but not the nation, and so the question we will be addressing in this new trial that is likely to occur is whether the judge will listen to his better angels and remove him from office. this case.”

Bragg argued that a full impeachment is not appropriate in Trump’s case, meaning the sentence may not be imposed until after Trump leaves office in 2029.

It’s addictive. It’s hard to let go. And they want to extend it for another four years.”
