But not to be outdone, last month Congressman Bernie Thompson (D-MS) introduced legislation to disqualify Donald Trump from Secret Service protection should he be found guilty. If convicted this bill could impact the safety of the former president but it raises a question; would they put him in jail before all his all his appeals are exhausted?  They’ve tried everything else; why not try this too?  They’ve already rejected such protection for Biden’s opponent Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Prominent Democrat, constitutional law scholar, and defensive attorney, Alan Dershowitz has asserted Thompson’s legislation is “ridiculous” and it “means they want [Trump] killed… We live in an age where everybody is in danger,” he contended saying “Kennedy ought to be getting Secret Service protection, but certainly Donald Trump needs to get it.”

All this comes as President Trump faces a criminal trial in which prosecutors allege, he falsified business records during the 2016 campaign to cover up negative news stories.     Judge Jaun Merchan — whose daughter might benefit financially from a conviction — is overseeing the case.  He isn’t “…going to throw Donald Trump in jail,” Dershowitz said.  “That would be a guaranteed victory for [Trump in November].”

Legal experts have said Alan Bragg’s case is an embarrassment.  In the prosecution’s opening statement Assistant Manhattan DA Matthew Colangelo said “this case is about a criminal conspiracy.” But “conspiracy” is nowhere to be found in the indictment, it’s not even mentioned.  Trump isn’t being charged with “conspiracy” because there wasn’t any!  Even the Biden DOJ turned down an opportunity to charge him with conspiracy.   But that didn't stop the prosecutor from trying to deceive the jury by arguing about a “crime.”

Undeterred, Colangelo used terms to portray the Daniels nondisclosure agreement as a nefarious scheme without bothering to mention that such agreements are perfectly legal; used frequently and routinely.  In addition, the events Trump is charged with took place AFTER the 2016 election in what the prosecution claims was a “conspiracy” to commit election fraud. How can this be if the election was already over?   Isn’t it just possible that this case, itself, is an attempt to sway an election? 

As Gregg Jarrett noted in a recent editorial, hocus-pocus is a meaningless distraction or illusion that is intended to fool.  The Alvin Bragg's case against Donald Trump in Manhattan is just that; hocus-pocus attempting to fool the jury.
