The world of politics and law was shaken on Thursday when a video of SDNY Chief of Public Affairs, Nicholas Biase, appeared on X, a social media platform, in which Biase criticized the “nonsense” law passed by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis against President Donald Trump . A DOJ spokesperson denounced these witches as a “perversion,” “travesty,” and “mockery” of the justice system, calling them “disgusting” and “nonsense” trying to destroy the reputation of innocent people, in order to gain. notoriety and fame in the process.
Biase, who had known Alvin Bragg for fifteen years, explained how the New York District Attorney “rearranged (certain facts) just to make (him) fit” his makeshift legal theory, a “political” job all for the purpose of promoting him. own profile.
In just a few short sentences, Biase perfectly summed up Bragg’s modus operandi:
“He wants to be, something…mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy to just be the DA of New York County. Before you decide to sue Trump, do you know who he is? You now!”
Biase’s scathing criticism of Bragg, James, and Willis — all of whom eventually marched to the drums of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden — is significant because it is the most honest assessment to date of the miscarriage of justice against President Trump by Democrats. – DOJ officials comply. The biased evaluation of an unprecedented law that threatens to irreparably damage the process and the rule of law in this country is something that many Americans, tens if not hundreds of millions, have long recognized, and rightly condemned, as deeply wrong. – an existential threat to our constitutional order, which is now close to devolving into a banana republic. And in some places, like New York, it may already be.
We now have a system where there is an alignment of interests between Merrick Garland, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris – who have a political and ideological interest in the prosecution and conviction of Donald Trump, the main antagonist to Washington’s trenchant hegemony. the ruling class, and actors of bad faith at the state level – like Bragg and Willis – who are eager to climb the political ladder, and also have an interest in making a name for themselves.
Indeed, Biase stated this emphatically: before the Trump case, Bragg used to be a no-name, District Attorney identified by his unsavory public appearance with a record and a reputation for being lazy and lackluster. Thus, the opportunity to sue Donald Trump, the most famous person in the world and the leading candidate to be 47Th the president, a godsend offering for a mediocre bureaucrat, perhaps the only chance people like Bragg will get in all ages to raise themselves from obscurity.
It was ruthless political calculus on Bragg’s part, plain and simple. As Biase admitted, Bragg was not satisfied with his position as District Attorney, and had ambitions to become Mayor of New York City, or some higher office. The problem is, like all mediocre bureaucrats, he doesn’t have the extraordinary skills or worldly talents to distinguish himself from the parasite-dependent New York bureaucracy. The same applies to Letitia James, who, like Bragg, vying for the position of governor, sees herself as a true powerbroker in Albany, in contrast to Hochul, whose own fickleness has rendered her into the role of mostly figurehead. With the campaign to “get” Trump, James’ long-term hope is that Kamala Harris will be elected, in no small part due to the devil’s own election, then appoint Hochul to a cabinet position, thus clearing the way for James himself to rise. to the highest office in the Imperial State, where he could exercise absolute power.
Of course, either scenario would spell certain doom for New York, whose citizens are currently suffering from the burden placed on the state’s justice system by incompetent political leaders. At this point, Bragg and James are nothing more than thinly veiled Marxist activists who just a few years ago were rapidly transforming New York into something like Venezuela under Hugo Chavez or Castro’s Cuba. It follows the leadership of other countries under Biden and Harris, who look more and more like the old Soviet Union, or modern Communist China than anything recognizable from America’s beloved past.
In fact, many lawyers, judges, and New York state attorneys general — a group that includes countless Democrats — understand this bleak picture. Biased sentiments were widely shared among Bragg and James’ friends in the New York legal community, many of whom, despite being registered Democrats, expressed private concern about the state’s trajectory under Bragg and James. Many of the state’s most prominent judges quietly mocked James and Bragg behind closed doors, often calling them “idiots” and “useful pawns” of Democratic leaders — like Merrick Garland — in Washington. In Washington, most senior-level DOJ officials express disdain, even disgust, for people like Bragg, James, and Willis in private conversations—the label they often attach is “ghetto trash” (and this by a Democratic official!) who “just kept ” because, now, Washington and the various state-level DAs and AGs share political and ideological interests with him – in particular, as co-conspirators to disrupt this year’s elections.
This suggests that the nature of the relationship between the DOJ and Bragg, Willis, and James is entirely transactional. All the most stupid and selfish players (eg Bragg and James) see it for what it is. As soon as their usefulness is exhausted, they will be quickly dismissed – like Cuomo and de Blasio before them who were put on the chopping block as soon as the powers that be are found to be older than their expiration date and become a liability.
President Trump said in a Friday presser that while the “travesty of justice” – to borrow Biase’s own words – is a terrible thing for the country, he is happy that his example will at least “expose” how deep the corruption in the judicial system is. . The New York legal system, which has been a model for the country in general, has been severely delegitimized by unworthy actors, like James and Bragg, who have shown themselves unworthy of their positions.
They are driven by extreme pettiness and ego, coupled with ignorance and pathological fixation to bring down one innocent person – a noxiously fatal combination; evil deeds that lead to the destruction of a great society. The damage done to the public trust, however unpredictable, certainly exceeds New York’s discredited justice system. And beyond all the way to problems like the homeless or the historical level of crime that is currently destroying the streets of New York City, a problem that is exacerbated by the DA and AGs who neglect their basic civic duties and pursue petty personal vendettas instead.
As it happens, Letitia James is actually a subscriber to this author’s Substack newsletter (also free to subscribe to!), which tells her all about pettiness and paranoia. That his office is devoted to research blog that exposes and excoriates countless improprieties of the New York criminal justice system, which unfortunately made a test case of 45Th The president, betraying his own insecurities that psychologically arise from the truth that he did not get the position from merit, but through affirmative action and ruthless opportunism. His stupidity is easily shown when he tramples on the rights and liberties of innocent Americans without reflection.
When he – or Bragg, or Merchan, or Willis – ignores time-honored precedent and uses justice to attack his political enemies, not expecting the long-term damaging consequences of his actions, consequences that may quickly turn against him, only strengthen. and vindicates President Trump’s criticism of them. That is, as an individual who, lacking wisdom and judgment, openly shows himself unfit for public office.
Letitia James and Alvin Bragg have broken their constitutional oath and irrevocably broken their social contract with society in an unfathomably horrific way. It is the physical embodiment of a failed and corrupt system, which has abandoned the pretext of fair and unjust justice. This trajectory is one destined to – and sadly deserved – the dustbin of history; a fate that will indeed be met, and will be welcomed, if it is allowed to continue unavoidably on a dangerous path that tragically makes justice the victim of those who clearly do not understand its true meaning.
