It's about holding Trump "accountable" and thus satisfying many Democrats' pent-up demand for "accountability" for the former president. And on Bragg's use of the word "accountable," note that in some liberal circles, the idea of holding Trump "accountable" has taken on the general meaning of punishing Trump for the many bad things liberals believe he has done. It does not have to involve a specific charge or punishment for a specific act — it's the larger issue of holding Trump "accountable" that is important. Many Trump opponents have openly wished that one of those cases had been the first prosecution of Trump and not Bragg's relatively weaker case in New York. Last week, Dionne tweeted about a debate among some on the Left about what would be the "best" case to prosecute against Trump — the classified documents case, the 2020 election case, or Jan. One of those suits was a successful case that led to the dissolution of the Trump Foundation. The paper reported that Farhadian Weinstein was "less vocal" than Bragg about Trump and "only occasionally" reminded audiences that she was involved in a "successful lawsuit against the Trump administration." Bragg, on the other hand, loved to talk about his many lawsuits against the Trump administration, Trump himself, and the Trump family. 'I have investigated Trump and his children and held them accountable for their misconduct with the Trump Foundation,' Mr. Bragg, at a Democratic candidate forum in December, cited that lawsuit as one reason he was qualified to oversee the district attorney's Trump investigation. The New York Times noted that she had once "interviewed with Trump administration officials for a federal judgeship early in his term." But he promised to pursue Trump and hold him "accountable," which is liberal code for going after Trump in any way possible.
