Alvin Bragg

In his resignation letter, prosecutor Mark Pomerantz said it is a "grave failure of justice" that the former president is not being held accountable.

The 74-year-old is due to stand trial in allegations that he avoided taxes on more than $1.7 million, which he denies. I'd trust his judgment any day of the week over an elected DA's." Make your peace w/ Pomerantz & Dunne & indict the [piece of s**t] sociopath." Richard Signorelli, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, wrote in a series of tweets: "From his first day in office, [Bragg] has made one mistake after another, literally jeopardizing public safety. "We ended up electing as Manhattan DA the absolute worst candidate of all. His incompetence in office has made him unreasonably risk adverse & cowardly w/ regard to holding Trump accountable for his career of criminality.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stopped pursuing charges against former President Trump and suspended the investigation “indefinitely,” one of the ...

"The only way to do something like that is to have a very strong case," McCarthy said. The case involved financial dealings of Trump’s Manhattan properties, including his flagship Fifth Avenue building, Trump Tower, and the valuation of his 213-acre estate Seven Springs in Westchester. "What matters is whether there is activity in the investigation," McCarthy said. That grand jury was set to run for six months. McCarthy also warned that had Bragg gone forward with the case, he would have had "a tabloid war with Trump and some of the New York media." "I therefore cannot continue in my current position." Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyer Ronald Fischetti told the New York Times that Pomerantz "had the opportunity to present the fruits of his investigation to the D.A. and his senior staff on several occasions and failed." But for the content of the case, McCarthy told Fox News that "inflating or deflating asset values is a commonality in industry." "That means, come April they were up against a deadline with the grand jury," McCarthy told Fox News. "If they hadn’t indicted by April, they would have had to decide whether to try to extend the grand jury term or start the investigation all over again with a new grand jury." While many close to the investigation have signaled that it has been closed—specifically after Pomerantz and Dunne’s resignations—a spokesperson for Bragg insisted the probe "continues." "It is a great tribute to the system that Alvin Bragg came in and stopped the unfairness against Trump," a source close to the investigation told Fox News. "Bragg and his team did the legally and morally correct thing, and they didn’t go the typical political route." "Of course, that is your decision to make," Pomerantz wrote to Bragg. "I do not question your authority to make it, and I accept that you have made it sincerely."

According to Mark Pomerantz, the ex-president is “guilty of numerous felony violations” and should be charged ASAP.

He added that “Whatever the risks of bringing the case may be, I am convinced that a failure to prosecute will pose much greater risks in terms of public confidence in the fair administration of justice.” Last month, New York attorney general Letitia James wrote that she has “significant evidence” the Trump Organization engaged in such activity. While maintaining the office did indeed have the evidence to prove Trump’s guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt,” Pomerantz noted that “no case is perfect,” and a fear over losing a trial is not a valid reason to forgo indicting a criminal. Bragg apparently did not, and “balked at pursuing an indictment against Mr. Trump, a decision that shut down Mr. Pomerantz’s and Mr. Dunne’s presentation of evidence to a grand jury and prompted their resignations.” And according to one of those prosecutor’s resignation letters, he feels the same way! One of the greatest mysteries of the 21st century is why Donald Trump has never once been held accountable for a lifetime of wildly corrupt behavior.
