<p>Manhattan District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alvin-bragg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alvin Bragg</a> is ready to sacrifice &#8220;Truth, Justice, and the American Way&#8221; like some sort of bloated bizarro Superman in order to take down the Left&#8217;s ultimate villain, former President Donald J. Trump.</p>
<p>Bragg knows nabbing Trump would make him the Democratic Party&#8217;s &#8220;Man of Steel&#8221; — even as his soft-on-crimes policies flood the Big Apple&#8217;s mean streets with criminals. It could even launch him to a higher office.</p>
<p>Some have speculated that Bragg is a 4-D chess grandmaster; pursuing an indictment would help Trump secure the 2024 GOP nomination, thereby ensuring President Joe Biden beats him again. Others say that the prosecutor is taking orders from the U.S. Department of Justice. Many even believe that the Left fears Trump and want him behind bars, U.S. Constitution be damned.</p>
<p>All those theories have one thing in common: They give way too much credit to the Democrats&#8217; hive-mind intellect.</p>
<p>The real play here is much simpler. Bragg is just the latest in a long line of local prosecutors chasing a trophy based on trumped-up charges for his own selfish reasons.</p>
<p>Remember North Carolina&#8217;s Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong in the infamous Duke University lacrosse rape hoax nearly two decades ago? Nifong was willing to throw a group of college kids in the slammer and ruin their lives all for the sake of winning re-election and currying political favor with the anti-Duke townies and full-year residents. The indictments of the young men were entirely crooked, but he attempted to do it because the ends — winning re-election — justified the means.</p>
<p>Bragg is following an old trail blazed by ruthless prosecutors like Nifong. Nailing Trump could help him distract his own voters from the rampant crime he is allowing and become the toast of the liberal chattering class. Mayor Bragg? Governor Bragg? The sky is the limit — as long as he isn&#8217;t bothered by the national and historic implications of arresting a former and possibly future president on a case legal experts say is breathtakingly bogus.</p>
<p>Bragg is another prosecutor funded by George Soros, the billionaire who seems hellbent on turning blue cities into dystopian nightmares. You&#8217;ll find them wherever crime is on the rise: In Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and on and on. They believe the system is rigged against black people and certain other minorities in America. Their solution is to go easy on killers, rapists, and robbers and, in Bragg&#8217;s case, criminalize conservatives instead.</p>

<p>The approach always generates rising crime, and it is not guaranteed to help the political fortunes of the practitioners, no matter how much money Sugar Daddy Soros pours into their re-election campaigns. Ex-San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin learned that lesson when he got recalled for helping turn his city into a dangerous dump.</p>
<p>New York doesn&#8217;t have a DA recall procedure like the Golden State, but that doesn&#8217;t mean Bragg is safe from scrutiny. Fellow Democrat and New York City Mayor Eric Adams has spent most of the last year branding Bragg a &#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/mayor-adams-calls-nycs-criminal-justice-system-laughingstock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laughingstock</a>&#8221; for his leniency and record on crime.</p>
<p>Bragg surely knows nobody will be laughing if he brings down Trump.</p>
<p>As one former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3751267-will-alvin-bragg-get-the-trump-bragging-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it last fall</a>, Bragg would have all-time &#8220;bragging rights&#8221; over every other law enforcement agency — U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Fulton County District Attorney Fami Ellis, and even former FBI Director James Comey — investigating Trump for other legal matters.</p>
<p>With an entry like that on his resume, Bragg might even have a fallback plan if his perverted brand of public service doesn&#8217;t work out: His own show on MSNBC.</p>
