The corrupt, George Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is looking to Donald Trump in contempt of court.
According to the Post Millennial:
Bragg’s office has filed a formal request to hold Trump in contempt over three social media posts.
Prosecutors said during Monday’s hearing that three of Trump’s social media posts from this month "plainly violate" Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order, claiming they target witnesses who will be testifying at the trial, according to ABC News.
The prosecutors wrote in the filing, "And defendant's violations were knowing and willful -- indeed, they are the latest in what this Court has already recognized as a deliberate strategy to impede this criminal trial. To be sure, defendant has loudly and repeatedly complained that the order is unlawful, in both court filings and other public statements. But no court has agreed with his objections, and a defendant's mere disagreement with a court's order is no defense to criminal contempt."
Trump’s attorneys have insisted that he was responding to "repeated, salacious, demon attacks" by porn star Stormy Daniels and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for next Tuesday. Trump could be fined $1,000 for each violation of the gag order.
Earlier this year, the so-called “fact-checkers” rallied to the defense of Bragg to deny that he’d been funded by George Soros. As I wrote previously; The Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler claimed it’s false that Soros funded Bragg - but an anti-police group called the Color of Change PAC announced in May 2021 that they wanted to back Bragg’s candidacy for DA with $1 million. Days later, Soros cut Color of Change a check for $1 million.
Anyone can see exactly what happened here — yet the fact-checkers were more than happy to further demolish their credibility in arguing the contrary with pure semantics. The fact-checker’s case that Soros didn’t fund Bragg amounts to nothing more than “Soros didn’t fund him — the PAC did!”
Meanwhile, at PolitiFact, fact-checker Amy Sherman absurdly argued that because Soros’ contribution to the PAC wasn’t earmarked, then the “contributor and the candidate have no connection.” Speaking of connections: Soros has donated $300,000 to the International Fact-Checking Network, which is owned by the Poynter Institute, of which PolitiFact is a subsidiary. What a coincidence.
