Alvin Bragg thought that Donald Trump was going to be thrown in the slammer.
But he was hit with one nasty curveball after the election.
And Trump’s impeachment lawyer revealed the worst nightmare Alvin Bragg faced over his witch hunt.
Donald Trump could receive an unusual punishment in Manhattan criminal case
Democrat Judge Juan Merchan was scheduled to sentence President-elect Donald Trump over the 34 made-up felonies that he was convicted of in a Manhattan kangaroo court.
Merchan paused because of Trump’s victory in the election.
The case could be potentially delayed until the President-elect leaves the White House in 2029 and becomes a private citizen again.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley represented Trump at his first impeachment trial.
He argued that it would be better to resolve the case before Trump becomes President again during an appearance on Fox News.
“There’s gonna be some maneuvering going on as to what can be still reviewed,” Turley explained. “In terms of leaving a case suspended for 4 years, it’s just a very odd way of addressing this.”
Turley offered up a creative punishment that Judge Merchan could hand down.
“You know, the sentencing only create[s] a conflict with the President’s Presidential duties if the Judge sentences limitations on the President,” Turley said. “He could’ve simply said ‘I’m not going to impose jail time or home confinement.’ He could even say that being president is equivalent to community service.”
Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hoped to throw Trump in jail before the election and derail his campaign.
Now, it appears the Bragg case boosted Trump and he’ll escape without any serious “punishment” resulting from Bragg’s lawfare.
Trump’s victory ties Merchan’s hands with sentencing
Turley didn’t think that Trump’s legal team would want this case to sit on the back burner until his Presidency concluded.
“So there’s a lot of way that he could’ve handled this, so I think if we play this out a bit, we’re gonna have to see what the Trump lawyers do,” Turley stated. “I don’t know if they will welcome the idea that they’re just gonna keep this thing as a zombie case for 4 years.”
Merchan may have been inclined to try to throw Trump in jail but the election closed the door on that possibility according to legal experts.
“I highly doubt Judge Juan Merchan was going to sentence Trump to a period of incarceration regardless of the outcome of the election, but Trump winning makes it logistically impossible and a certainty that he won’t receive any time,” former Federal Prosecutor Neama Rahmani told The Daily Caller.
Heritage Foundation legal scholar John Malcolm, a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Bush Administration, said that even if Merchan sentenced Trump to jail the punishment couldn’t be carried out because “a state cannot interfere with a President’s ability to do his job, which he could not do from prison, and the Secret Service would not be able to guarantee his safety.”
Alvin Bragg’s witch hunt will conclude as a massive miscalculation that backfired on him in the worst way.
