When you strike at the king, you must kill him – Flopping Aces

The quote above comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson but there are variations on the theme. The character Omar Little in “The Wire” put it a little differently:

When you come at the king, you best not miss.

In the Truth Social post, Donald Trump says he’s learned he is to be arrested on Tuesday by the galactically stupid Alvin Bragg, Manhattan DA.

When Bragg took office he made clear that a good number of crimes were not going to be prosecuted

Among the crimes Bragg said his office would not prosecute: marijuana misdemeanors, including selling more than three ounces; not paying public transportation fare; trespassing except a fourth degree stalking charge, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in certain cases, and prostitution.

He admitted that cops won’t bother arresting anyone committing these crimes. That way Bragg can claim that crime is down. See how that works?

Bragg routinely sets murderers loose, but he and his office have a perverted obsession with Trump and have for a long time. It appears he’s going to take a chance on killing the king. About that- paying hush money is not illegal, despite liberal rants to the contrary. Bragg is going to go after Trump for something else:

Prosecutors are weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying the business records of the Trump Organization for how it reflected the reimbursement of the payment to Cohen, who said he advanced the money to Daniels.

Going through the spectacle of a trial for a misdemeanor seems asinine but Bragg is not likely to stop there. He will most likely seek to try to elevate the charges to a felony
