Trump Indictment ‘Totally Erroneous,’ Sets ‘Bad Precedent’ for the Nation: GOP Leaders

Years after former President Donald Trump entered a not guilty plea to charges of falsifying business records, the Manhattan grand jury’s indictment’s of him continues to infuriate and worry Republican leaders, with some claiming that it could pave the way for widespread prosecutorial misconduct.

The challenge, according to Mississippi Lt. Gov., is that this will happen to any other Republican or Democrat in addition to this one. In an interview with NTD News, The Epoch Times’ girl publication, on April 5, Delbert Hosemann issued a warning.

He continued,” This is a good precedent for the nation, and I sincerely hope that the courts will quickly dismiss it.”

The accusation, which was made public on April 4 after the former president was charged, revealed 34 criminal matters connected to a alleged hush money transactions to Stormy Daniels, an adult movie actress, during the 2016 election period.

Hosemann, a former lawyer who drafted nondisclosure agreements, observed that the practice is” very legal” and that he believed the accusations against Trump to be” totally erroneous.”

The lieutenant government declared,” I believe it is a social event, and not something that we should either support or be proud of in our place.”

This is a witch hunt, and this never should have occurred to the president, I’ve been’ve really pleased to see all wings of the Republican Party come out and say.

” I believe it greatly unified our club by observing how severe the step was.

Lt. Governor of Louisiana Another Republican, Billy Nungesser, agreed with Hosemann’s worries’s about the effects of what he saw as a politically motivated attack on Trump.

He said, noting that he had worked with many Democrats over the years to get things done,” Whenever you weaponize or do things for political reasons, whatever it is, it sets a bad precedent.”

He continued,” This political retribution has got to avoid in our nation.” We must band together and work to find solutions to our issues, but we won’t succeed as long as we use the legal system or anything else for democratic retaliation or punishment.

Nungesser also noted that the accusations against Trump didn’t seem to have much merit and called the accusation” unfortunately” and” harmful to the country.”

Legal Basis

Leaking to the newspaper revealed that Trump may be facing more than 30 misdemeanor counts of falsifying business information before the prosecution was unsealed.

Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, claimed that Trump had” lied repeatedly” to get around the law after the complete indictment was released.

According to Bragg, falsifying business records with the intent to defraud and hide another offense is a misdemeanor under New York state regulations.

34 misleading statements made to cover up some crimes are the subject of this condition.

Any change who you are, these are criminal offenses in New York State, he continued. We are unable and unwilling to restore dangerous criminal behavior.

However, when the complete indictment was made public, especially the former president’s detractors’s claimed that the case had a tenuous legal basis.

Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton said on CNN,” I’m extraordinarily’m frightened by this statement, speaking as someone who really strongly does not want Donald Trump to get the Democratic presidential candidacy.”

” I believe this to be even weaker than I anticipated.”

Trump fired the Yale Law School alumnus in 2019 because he was concerned that the situation was” quickly” be dismissed before it goes to trial.

The basis for elevating the misrepresentation of business documentation costs— a misdemeanor under New York legislation— to the criminal point was noticeably absent from the prosecution.

What is the constitutional theory that connects the 34 counts of offenses in that very strong case to the desire to hide another violence, which is what qualifies it as a criminal? In another CNN audience, former FBI assistant director Andrew McCabe said,” It simply isn’t it.”

Trump allegedly conspired with Russia to seize the 2016 presidential election, and McCabe was in charge of the FBI’s probe.

In the end, it’s difficult’s to imagine persuading a jury if all of our legal friends read this indictment and don’t see how to commit felony.
