Fern I never implied that was an ‘open-and-shut case.’ (Relatively few high profile cases are.) Manhattan District Attorney Vance initiated this criminal case against Trump, hired two outstanding prosecutors to pursue it, and proceeded with grand jury hearings. Bragg, the young new Manhattan DA considered ‘pausing/shutting’ down the grand jury proceedings. The two distinguished prosecutors argued their position for proceeding and then the DA, after discussions that excluded these two distinguished prosecutors, informed them that the hearings were ‘postponed.’

These two prosecutors apparently interpreted this as ‘case closed.’ I am personally familiar with chickenshit. As a kid I would, with boots on, slosh through chickenshit to recover chicken eggs every morning. Regarding the Bragg incident, if it looks like chickenshit, and smells like chickenshit, then, almost certainly it is chickshit.

Keith, Having walked through so much of a certain brand, you believe yourself to be an expert at spotting it in very different terrain. I don't doubt that your good at it, but that is not the sort of evidence that supersedes all other forms. I'm not making a case for or against Bragg. From what I have read, there are legitimate reasons to think that the case has a couple of important weak spots. The deep need to have Trump pay for his lethal behavior can for some make the case. In fact, I am as enthusiastic as almost anyone to see justice done with reference to Trump and all the other members of his treasonous cabal.
