Stupid beyond a reasonable doubt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seattle Times LOL on new DA Alvin Bragg who obviously developed reasonable doubt because his own prosecutors suddenly went for lesser charges:

weeks of escalating disagreement between the veteran prosecutors overseeing the case and the new district attorney ...
 
While Dunne and Pomerantz were confident that the office could demonstrate that the former president had intended to inflate the value of his golf clubs, hotels and office buildings, Bragg was not. ...
 
Initially, Pomerantz and Dunne had envisioned charging Trump with the crime of “scheme to defraud,” believing that he falsely inflated his assets on the statements of financial condition that had been used to obtain bank loans. But by the end of the year, they had changed course and planned to charge Trump with falsifying business records — a simpler case that essentially amounted to painting Trump as a liar rather than a thief.
