If Alvin Bragg is trying to get a felony attached to his case against former President Donald Trump, he should look in the mirror, in his office, or in front of his grand jury because he has broken the law to “get Trump.”
In an interview and an op-ed, law professor and prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz stated that whoever leaked the sealed indictment is guilty of the only felony in this case, in his opinion.
“It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else,” the attorney wrote in an op-ed for The New York Sun.
“We know that the information was disclosed while the indictment itself remains sealed and before any official announcement was made or charges brought. It is unlikely that the leak came from the Trump team, which seemed genuinely surprised,” he said.
“The most likely, though uncertain, scenario is that a person in Mr. Bragg’s office or a grand juror unlawfully leaked the sealed information. That would be a class E felony, subject to imprisonment,” he said.
“It is possible of course that an investigation is underway,” he said, adding, “but it seems more likely that Mr. Bragg is too busy making up a crime against the man he promised in his campaign to get than investigating a real crime that took place on his watch.”

“Why would Mr. Trump pay the money in the first place if he had to publicly disclose the embarrassing reason? Furthermore, no one in history has ever been indicted for listing ‘legal expenses’ for setting a potentially embarrassing payment of hush money,” he stated.
“Thus, even the misdemeanor allegation involving false entries is unprecedented and represents selective prosecution. It is also almost certainly barred by the two-year statute of limitations. In order to elevate this bookkeeping case into a felony, Mr. Bragg must also prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the reason Trump made the false entry — if he himself did it — was solely as a campaign contribution to help him win his election,” he said.
That means there is no crime even if only part of the reason he made the contribution was to shield his family from scrutiny or to preserve his business interests.
In addition, if someone in Bragg’s office or Bragg himself leaked the indictment, they might face up to five years in prison.
“If somebody on the grand jury, prosecutor or grand juror, leaked the fact that there was a vote to indict, that is a one – five-year class E felony under New York,” he stated on Fox News.
“Bragg now has a prima facia case that a crime has been committed right in his building, but as far as I know he’s not investigating it,” he said.
“We don’t know who did the leak. It is conceivable it could have been done by somebody in the Trump administration but I doubt it because they seem to have been taken by great surprise so the most likely source of the leak is someone from within Bragg’s office or within the grand jury. That’s where the focus ought to be,” he says.

Dershowitz previously stated that he feared Bragg may be disbarred for his complaint against Trump.
He claimed on the Fox News show “Sunday Morning Futures” with anchor Maria Bartiromo that having Michael Cohen as a witness could harm the district attorney, according to Mediaite.
“I don’t think an indictment can actually come forward now after the comments made by [Robert] Costello,” the attorney stated.
“he has proved that the main witness is going to be a perjuring liar on the witness stand, and that puts the district attorney in a terrible position,” he said.
“If he uses Cohen as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license. It’s unethical to put a witness on the stand who you know is lying, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying. Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: he drops the case,” he said.
The Democrats are so desperate to get Trump out of the 2024 race that they are resorting to things that should get them thrown into prison. And their shenanigans will possibly get the man hurt. Imagine if Trump is standing in a courtroom and some leftist lunatic attacks him. He’s 76 years old.
The irony here is Bragg has been entrusted to run the legal system in Manhattan, and he is abusing that system to take out the frontrunner for 2024 of the opposition party. And he may face charges if there is anyone in the system who is willing to hold him accountable.
