I'm not surprised, this NY prosecution does look like a political witch hunt.
At least with the DOJ investigations, I can be pretty sure Garland isn’t pushing for partisan goals. In fact, he’s probably leaning too far in the other direction.
But if Trump had lost in 2016 and then just faded into the sunset, I don’t think NY authorities would’ve convened a grand jury for this. Bragg is a politician who knows he can score big points by going after Trump. There’s every reason to believe this is a big part of his motivation.
And despite the 34 felonies against Trump, I'm sure they'll amount to a slap on the wrist. Weisselberg had 15 felonies against him and that's all he got.
