This is Pastor Tim’s article which appeared in the Evening Leader on Tuesday, March 28, 2023
Why are we doing this? Alvan Bragg, why are we doing this? If you don’t know who Alvan Bragg is, he is the Manhattan District Attorney who, as of the writing of this article, is planning to charge Donald Trump for misusing campaign funds to pay off porn star, Stormy Daniels. Why did he pay her off? Because he had a one-night stand with her and he paid for her silence. Clearly, it was not money well spent in that she has not kept silent about anything.
Trump is a dirt bag for cheating on his wife. It is no secret that as a businessman and as a president, I believe Trump did a good job. Both our economy and country were revitalized under Trump’s leadership like no other time in modern memory. However, as a man, I do not nor have I ever believed Trump is a good example. And for those of you who think we have a better man in the office of President right now, at least Trump never advocated carving up confused children, had to drop out of a presidential race because of plagiarism, or regularly make claims that cause us to disbelieve our lying eyes.
When I cast a ballot in the 2024 election cycle, I am going to vote against the national embarrassment that is our current administration, even if I have to hold my nose to do it. To be honest, I hope Trump’s name is not on the ballot. I want to vote for a conservative from my generation because we Gen Xers have a lot of messes made by the Baby Boomers that need cleaned up, and I have seen nothing from the Millennials that leads me to believe they are ready to take on that task.
But this brings me back to the original question. Trump is a dirtbag, but why are they prosecuting him for a crime he committed years ago that has been public knowledge since Trump’s original campaign prior to getting elected in 2016? There is nothing new to report, no new knowledge has come out, and no bombshell reports have been dropped. Yet the D.A. is trying to bring charges against Trump now. What has changed that has caused this indictment to happen at this particular time?
Could it be because Trump declared his candidacy for the 2024 election? Because of that, he is getting investigated on a charge that had already been disclosed and adjudicated years ago. No charges were filed back in the original investigation and the statute of limitations has run out on this event. All we can say about Trump now is that he is a dirtbag and thank God we can’t prosecute people for that because we could not build prisons fast enough.
This is the very definition of a politically motivated prosecution, and we the people need to stand up and say no to this. I am not saying we need to support Trump. What I am saying is we can’t allow politically motivated characters to use the law against their political rivals for no other reason than to quash dissent. If Trump is found guilty in the court of public opinion and that costs him a nomination or an election, I am 100% fine with that. In fact, I already said that I hope Trump is not the Republican nomination. But I do not want Trump’s enemies to use selective prosecution to manipulate options given to the American people. That is wrong in every sense of the word.
What is going on here is a stunt, nothing more and nothing less. If you want my honest opinion, I believe that this indictment of Trump is a ploy. They know darn well that they are not going to be able to convict Trump for this. But what they want to do is endear him to his base who loves him. I think the powers that be want Trump to be the nomination because they believe that he is more beatable than any other likely contender for the Republican nomination.
But regardless of your feelings about one side or the other, malicious prosecution is wrong and that is what this is. This is now why the justice system exists and it should never be abused in this way.
