Bragg Threatens Trump with Jail Time for Defending Himself to Voters

Remember, he's not just a defendant in a corrupt prosecution -- he's running for president of the United States. He is not like the normal defendant where you could, maybe, say, "You can make those arguments in court, but not for public consumption."

He's a presidential candidate -- he has to make arguments in his defense for public consumption.

And the corrupt Soros DA is following through with his plan to simply make it illegal for Trump to run for office.

Megyn Kelly made a good point: the public interest in Trump's comments is an important factor here, too. We're not just talking about Trump's right to speak -- we are talking about our own right, as citizens charged with electing a president, to receive Trump's statements so we can weigh them in making our votes.

Maybe the court should have thought twice about dismissing the Bragg indictment rather than holding a trial for a major-party presidential nominee, especially on the charges Bragg filed. The entire case is absurd -- blowing up a misdemeanor allegation into dozens of felonies over something that''s not even a crime. Of course defendants can criticize the case prosecutors bring. That's the purpose of public trials, and the fairness issue pertains to the defendant, not the State.
