How the Manhattan D.A.’s Investigation Into Donald Trump Unraveled

[BabyBoomer50s]

Anyone remember the Cyrus Vance investigation? The NYT explains how and why it unraveled.

“This account of the investigation’s unraveling, drawn from interviews with more than a dozen people knowledgeable about the events, pulls back a curtain on one of the most consequential prosecutorial decisions in U.S. history. Had the district attorney’s office secured an indictment, Mr. Trump would have been the first current or former president to be criminally charged.

“Mr. Bragg was not the only one to question the strength of the case, the interviews show. Late last year, three career prosecutors in the district attorney’s office opted to leave the investigation, uncomfortable with the speed at which it was proceeding and with what they maintained were gaps in the evidence. The tension spilled into the new administration, with some career prosecutors raising concerns directly to the new district attorney’s team.”

With all of the investigations into Trump, the fact that they've found precisely nothing to even charge him with even the most Mickey Mouse crime means he has to be the cleanest, least-corrupt politician ever.

But wouldn't that go to Hillary?

Only a matter of time before he‘s charged with falsifying his golf scores.

Well, no. Haven't even heard that name since the Carter Administration.

Can you imagine the result? Why, Trump might be banned from playing at his own resorts...

Somebody learned how to use a thesaurus.

Benghazi wasn't a criminal investigation, so there wouldn't be any charges, bright boy.

Please understand how difficult life is for him... there aren't any pictures in a Thesaurus.
