But, I understand where you're coming from. Alan Dershowitz is not one of the Marxist Communist Socialist Progressive America hating extremists you love so much.

Nor is Alan Dershowitz an admirer of fascist pig criminals like Biden and his fascist cadre in the White House.

The Trump indictment, which I read, would be laughable in any other circumstance. It's the same offense, copied and pasted 34 times, with the date changed each time. This is the biggest farce I've ever seen.

Or will you finally admit that he has a ****** attitude? Because I’m getting tired of being told that everything bad that happens in my life, is due to karma or manifesting bad things.

As unprecedented as that was, it has become clear in the hours after his appearance that the fundamental political calculus has not changed for Trump. He remains the most popular man in the GOP, and the break his enemies have long sought between him and the rest of the Republican party seems as distant as ever.

“For those who think this will harm President Trump’s chances at running for the White House in 2024, I have news for you: it won’t,” Kevin Hern, who leads the Republican Study Committee, the influential conservative body that’s the largest ideological caucus in Congress, said following Trump’s court appearance on Tuesday.

According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, Merchan donated three times to ActBlue in the summer of 2020.

One of Merchan’s donations was made on July 26, 2020, and was earmarked for Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, according to the FEC.

Another one of Merchan’s contributions was pledged to the Progressive Turnout Project (PTP).

PTP is a left-wing PAC that rallies voter turnout for Democrat candidates.

Merchan’s final donation was made to Stop Republicans, a PTP sub-project that’s dedicated to “resisting” Trump and the Republican Party.

---

If Merchan has any integrity, he will do the right thing and recuse himself from presiding over this case.

“It’s not a campaign finance violation. It’s not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor. In trying to stretch the law to make it look like a violation, he added, District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is really trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.”

Jordan condemned Bragg’s latest legal action in a statement online, saying, “First they indict a president for no crime. Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it.”

Bragg's going to lose.
Federal money was used by Bragg's office which gives jurisdiction to oversight committees of the federal legislature.

Further, Bragg brought in a federal employee from the Justice Dept to run his operation. Another federal connection.

This guy, Bragg, is a real dummy.

A federal judge will let House Republicans question a former Manhattan prosecutor about the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, ruling Wednesday that there is no legal basis to block the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena.

U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's request for a temporary restraining order and injunction, finding that committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, issued the subpoena to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz with valid legislative purpose.

Braggs office uses federal funds. The US House clearly has oversight over how that money is spent.
