Ed Morrissey

This is curious. The new documents came from the DoJ, but this is an old case for them. They looked into the alleged hush-money payments as a potential crime a couple of years ago and declined to pursue the campaign-finance case, for good reason. They tried John Edwards in almost exactly the same situation and got an embarrassing loss for their trouble.

It doesn't sound credible that Bragg has only now gotten a look at these documents. Even if that's the case, that will force the judge to postpone this even further as the defense will need enough time to review the evidence and plan their defense accordingly.
