The following is an excerpt from my book, America’s Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024?
The corrupt Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg—who campaigned on his experience and devotion to suing Trump—made history when he announced on April 4, 2023, that a Grand Jury had indicted the former President Donald Trump on thirty-four felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal an alleged affair with porn actress Stormy “Horseface” Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. (In 2018, Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, denied the alleged 2006 affair had ever occurred.)
Prior to Donald Trump, no president in U.S. history had ever been indicted for any crime committed. Though not a president, even General Robert E. Lee, who led the Confederate Army during the Civil War, had all charges against him dropped even after a Grand Jury indicted him for committing treason.
President Bill Clinton committed a federal crime when he lied to a Grand Jury about his affair with Monica Lewinski—outright denying it. Clinton was guilty of both perjury and obstruction of justice. The special prosecutor—a once formidable position since dissolved and replaced with the less formidable special counsel—dropped his prosecution and indictment of Clinton in exchange for Clinton’s admission of guilt and a $25,000 fine.
While General Lee and former President Clinton committed federal crimes and escaped punishment, former President Trump faces punishment despite committing no crimes. As a matter of fact, the Bragg indictment failed to name a single specific felony Trump had committed. Yes, you read that correctly. Trump was indicted without any crime being specified. During a press conference, Bragg claimed he didn’t specify the underlying crimes because the law didn’t require him to do so.
Bragg effectively conflated two non-crimes to invent some new felony crime, even without naming the said-crime. First, he alleged that Trump committed a campaign finance violation by paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in exchange for her silence about their alleged affair. This type of transaction had already been previously ruled not to be a campaign finance violation.
Back in 2011, a federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted John Edwards, the former Democrat senator, 2004 nominee for vice president, and 2008 Democratic Party presidential candidate, on charges that he violated campaign finance laws. Edwards had solicited nearly $1 million dollars from two wealthy patrons that was used to cover up his secret affair with Rielle Hunter, with whom he had a child. The indictment claimed that the money was used for campaign purposes because if the public knew about the affair it would have harmed his 2008 campaign. The Edwards defense claimed the money was not used for political reasons but for personal reasons: he wanted to conceal the affair from his wife.
Despite the grand jury indictment, Jack Smith, who led the DOJ prosecution of Edwards, failed to convince jurors at trial that Edwards had committed any crime. A mistrial was declared and the DOJ dropped the case. It wasn’t a campaign finance violation. But this didn’t stop Bragg from erroneously accusing Trump of effectively the same thing.
Bragg also claimed that the expense—paying “Horseface”—had been falsely recorded as “legal fees,” which isn’t even a felony. Recall that the Clinton campaign and DNC were actually fined for committing a campaign finance violation when they falsely recorded their funding of the infamous Steele dossier as legal fees. No Republican DA has assembled a Grand Jury to indict Hillary Clinton and seek prison time.
In order to transform a boring non-felony campaign finance violation—which Trump didn’t even commit—into a felony indictment, Bragg had to prove at a minimum that the falsification of the record was intended to conceal some other crime. If it was to conceal a campaign finance violation, it’s already well established that this wasn’t a campaign finance violation; ergo Trump couldn’t be concealing a crime because no crime had been committed.
Because no felony crime had been committed, Bragg didn’t bother to list a specific felony crime committed in the indictment. In other words, Bragg and the Grand Jury indicted Trump even in the absence of a crime. If this doesn’t make sense, it shouldn’t. The Trump indictments aren’t grounded in fact or even the law; they are rooted in raw and unjustified hatred. For Democrats, two plus two equals five and two non-crimes make a felony. Trump is guilty because they say so, irrespective of the actual law or reality—just as the twelve-year-old student with the Gadsden flag patch was guilty because the school simply said so.
We have to come to terms with the fact that the Deep State government does represent the United States to a large extent. Since the end of the Cold War, the Deep State primarily has done evil things internationally. But it has tuned inwardly toward the citizens since the 911 attack.
The exception was the 4-year period under President Donald Trump.
But the Deep State will not allow Trump to return to office to save the nation and to save us. Barring a decisive coup, the USA is over.
