In the ongoing legal battle against Donald Trump, prosecutors are resorting to a bag of legal tricks to sway the jury. Lead prosecutor Matthew Colangelo deceptively accused Trump of participating in a criminal conspiracy, despite its absence in the indictment. He also labeled Trump’s payments to Stormy Daniels as election fraud, ignoring the findings of the Federal Election Commission and federal prosecutors that no such wrongdoing occurred.
Prosecutors intentionally use derogatory terms to portray Trump’s actions in a negative light, without acknowledging the legality of non-disclosure agreements and the common practice of “catch and kill” by tabloids. The indictment against Trump lists charges that allegedly took place before the 2016 election, creating a chronological impossibility that undermines the prosecution’s claims.
Trump’s defense team counters these accusations by emphasizing his innocence and the lack of any illegal activity. They argue that Trump acted to protect his family and reputation from false allegations, which is not a crime. The defense further contends that the prosecution is politically motivated and relies on deceptions and untrustworthy witnesses.
Prosecutors led by District Attorney Alvin Bragg are accused of engaging in “lawfare” – using the law as a weapon to persecute a political enemy. The timing of the trial is seen as an attempt to sabotage Trump’s potential presidential run in 2024. The defense warns the jury against falling for the legal illusions and distractions employed by an unprincipled prosecutor.
While the prosecution’s tactics may create a spectacle, the defense remains confident that the truth and the law will ultimately prevail, exposing the political motivations behind this case and protecting Donald Trump from unjust accusations.
