Two successive Manhattan District Attorneys, Cyrus Vance, Jr. and Alvin Bragg, have dug for dirt on Donald Trump, looking for something – anything – on which to indict him. And they have failed. The Washington Post:
A six-month grand jury that was convened late last year to hear evidence against Donald Trump was set to expire this week, closing a chapter in a lengthy criminal investigation that appears to be fizzling out without charges against the former president, people familiar with matter said.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), who took office in January, inherited a probe launched by his predecessor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., who was convinced that there was a case against Trump

FTA: “Some people close to the inquiry believe that it will not result in an indictment of the former president unless a witness cooperates unexpectedly — a long shot in an investigation that has been running for more than three years.”
Unless a witness cooperates by agreeing to lie.

Upon retaking the White House, the new DOJ and FBI unless disbanded, should arrest these criminals immediately. Let them fight their way out of jail with lawyers and their money. Protests in the streets should be immediately quelled by the appropriate level of force. No more listening to establishment advice do what is right and fix America!

As the Bible says, and I paraphrase, “The wicked can think only evil and cannot see the good in others.”
Dennis Prager, on the radio, mentioned he talked to a career criminal. The man said he couldn’t conceive of anyone being honest and truthful, because he wasn’t.

Can't help but wonder what is the next lying attack on President Trump going to be? The rats just can't stop themselves, you know they have another phony-baloney accusation ready to waste taxpayers money for years to come. They'll lie and the so-called 'media' will swear to it.

So----------Is that Judge still making Trump pay $10,000 dollars a day for not supplying evidence against himself?

Just how much taxpayer money has been pi**ed away during these investigations. These people should either be fired or thrown in jail. Trump should sue them for defamation and harassment. I mean how many years are you going to attack a man with no evidence. Scum democrats have been going after this guy for over 6 years with fake charges all made up by democrats. Just like the impeachment hearings, not one democratic witness, under oath, could back up their claims against Trump. Even Adam Schiff, a complete waste of a sub human life could not corroborate even one of his charges against Trump. Its sickening and appalling..

Teflon Don....I just love it...they keep trying but can't find anything to keep him from running again, because he is an honest man and a patriot and they never met one before...they need to look at their own back yard to fix things and leave the man alone....

As have all these investigations. I am of the opinion that President Trump is probably THE most corruption free person who has held high office in this country in half a century.

Jere in Pennsylvania, the local tax assessor determines the value of real property for property tax purposes.
Is NYS somehow different? I don't think so.

They say you can indict a ham sandwich with a grand jury.
So, after 3 long years, the NY D.A.' could not find any type of criminal activity. 3 years!
Couple this with the lengthy Mueller investigation that found nothing too.
Maybe it's time to indict those who've been peddling false information that ends up wasting taxpayer dollars, resources and time.

Even in a story stating that after 6years, Millions of billable hours by high priced attorneys, wiretaps, sketchy subpoenas, and NOTHING criminal found, writer still posits that he is actual guilty...but the "proof is simply being hidden".
"it will not result in an indictment of the former president unless a witness cooperates unexpectedly" .
Meanwhile DA "Litigious James", continues tilting at this windmill, just as she campaigned to do...yet sez "It's not Political Persecution" it's just "Law Enforcement", even though NO complaint was ever filed by any "Victim". When they get what they demanded, then find NOTHING, they demand even more...and claim that denying them is "Obstruction". Trump needs to send them a copy of his Colonoscopy...say..."Here ya go, file charges or f'off"

I'almost sorry. almost. if the dims could find any Trump tax evasion it would demonstrate the IRS is crooked and/or incompetent and grounds for a complete audit and potential elimination.

They could have learned from 2 impeachments,Mueller's 54 million $$$ mess & 4 years of DC constant investigations….,or they could have consulted Schiff or Nadler….I guess the ole DC saying investigate until find something didn’t work !!
