Sen. Paul: Jail Manhattan DA for ‘Disgusting Abuse of Power’
Some are predicting that now that the Grand Jury has heard the last witness, President Trump may be indicted today at the behest of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. However, it’s not expected he’ll be arraigned before a judge until next week, according to a Daily Mail source.
In a tweet yesterday, Senator Rand Paul wrote, “A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail.”
Newsmax reported:
Paul's rebuke comes as many Republicans are backing Trump amid what he calls "political prosecution" and "persecution."
Trump and Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis have been issuing repeated warnings about the dangers of "Soros-funded prosecutors" working to curb the punishment of criminals while going after political opponents with trumped-up attacks.
"The Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor, so he, like other Soros-funded prosecutors, weaponize their office to impose a political agenda at the expense of the rule of law and public safety," DeSantis said Monday. "He has downgraded over 50% of the felonies to misdemeanors. He says he doesn't even want to have jail time for the vast majority of crime. So what we've seen in Manhattan is the crime rate go up and citizens become less safe.
The silver lining this ordeal for me is that there is zero chance it will be as satisfying as the Left expects. There will be no perp walk. Maybe there will be a mugshot released. I hope Trump smiles.
