he has also asked alvin bragg and that prosecutor to come in for a june 13th hearing of the select subcommittee on the weaponization of federal government. they are trying to make an example of alvin bragg, and they are going to torment him if nothing less, between now and november. chuck, david graham, at the atlantic had a really interesting piece, arguing if it matters if the prosecution against president trump was politico, and he says because trump s defenders are understood willing to argue that he didn t falsify records, or that it shouldn t be a crime, he argues they are actually arguing that he should get a pass on crimes, they view as minor because he s a political figure. the american justice system is never held that someone should be immune for repercussions for their actions or behavior simply because they re a politician. he says, this is what the republicans are arguing here. so when the republicans go after or promise to go after democrats, and say ag, state ags
