This RINO traitor just helped Alvin Bragg put Trump in jail
Democrat prosecutor Alvin Brag already stacked the deck against Donald Trump.
But he got help from an unexpected source.
And this RINO traitor just helped Alvin Bragg put Trump in jail.
Mitt Romney wants to jail Trump for fake crime
CNN’s Manu Raj’s job is to chase Republicans down in the halls of Congress and pepper them with gotcha questions designed to force them to either give embarrassing answers or throw conservatives under the bus.
U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (RINO-UT) is always happy to pick door number two when faced with that choice.
Especially when the target is former President Donald Trump.
Raj asked Romney about the allegation Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg used about paying Stormy Daniels a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement (NDA) payment to concoct a fake campaign finance violation.
Romney responded that he thought Trump was guilty of the crime simply because he believed him to be a bad person.
“I think everybody has made their own assessment of President Trump’s character,” Romney stated Tuesday. “And so far as I know, you don’t pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you.”
Mitt Romney gave Alvin Bragg exactly what he was looking for
George Washington University Law Professor Johnathan Turley was aghast at Romney’s answer.
In a column posted to his website, Turley declared him exactly the type of juror Bragg was hoping to land – someone unwilling to look at the actual facts of the case and just vote to convict Trump based on their personal or partisan dislike of the man.
Turley wrote that “his response is precisely what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is seeking from the jury: a verdict on Trump as a person rather than the underlying criminal allegations.”
Romney ignored the fact that NDAs are perfectly legal – as a businessman like himself very well knows – and that candidates work to suppress negative stories all the time.
“It is not a crime to use an NDA or other means to quash an embarrassing story. Bill Clinton had a host of lawyers quashing allegations of affairs and sexual assaults throughout his Presidency,” Turley added.
Bragg is attempting to piece together a crime out of legal conduct by reframing it in salacious terms like “hush money” and “election interference.”
Both of those concepts are either legal or offenses Trump isn’t actually charged with.
That’s why Turley – and even left-wing legal scholars – declared Bragg’s case an “embarrassment.”
And yet he fears if the jurors adopt Romney’s attitude – a reasonable assumption given the fact that New Yorkers hate Trump even more than Romney – then Bragg will win an unjust conviction.
“Romney is precisely what Bragg is looking for in these jurors. Smart and savvy, he still viewed the question of the trial as whether Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels. If so, it was not a legal expense. Yet, quashing the story and avoiding any litigation was a legal matter with the eventual crafting of the NDA,” Turley wrote.
