Bragg FINALLY Coughs Up 100k Pages Of Evidence Against Trump… Still Wants To Rush The Trial
Bragg screwed over the defense team and he's STILL trying to rush to judgment
How long does it take you to read a novel? How about 31,000 pages? Now imagine that somewhere in those 31,000 pages are clues you need to defend yourself against bogus allegations of criminal wrongdoing?
You received 31,000 pages yesterday. Now you have to dig through the information and then act on it — that might be tracking down witnesses, speaking with experts, researching obscure but relevant legal precedent and forming a legal defence against charges you believe to be unjust.
Would you think 30 days was long enough to do all that?
Because that’s what DA Bragg, after stiffing the Trump team on reams of evidence they were legally entitled to until the last possible minute has suddenly backtracked from his rigid insistence on starting the trial by March 25th. He is now ‘graciously’ offering a 30 day window.
Did we mention that those 31,000 pages handed over this week were on TOP of the 73,000 Bragg finally coughed up on March 4th?
That’s more than 100,000 pages of evidence Trump has to sift through, digest, process, authenticate, and respond to. Bragg is STILL ‘prepared to proceed’ on March 25th, but is willing to hold off just a little while in an ‘abundance of caution to ensure that the defendant has sufficient time to review the new materials’.
Sufficient time, in Bragg’s estimation, is 30 days.
Attorneys for Trump in January subpoenaed the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which on March 4 turned over more than 73,000 pages of documents. The office turned over more documents Wednesday, according to Bragg’s filing.
“Yesterday, the USAO produced approximately 31,000 pages of additional records and represented that there will be another production of documents by next week,” wrote Bragg, who said the documents included material his office requested more than a year ago. “Based on our initial review of yesterday’s production, those records appear to contain materials related to the subject matter of this case.”
Bragg wrote that the U.S. Attorney “previously declined to provide” the material.
Trump’s lawyers asked for a 90 day delay as a result, or dismissal of the case.
“Although the People are prepared to proceed to trial on March 25, we do not oppose an adjournment in an abundance of caution and to ensure that defendant has sufficient time to review the new materials,” Bragg wrote. “We therefore notify the Court that we do not oppose a brief adjournment not to exceed 30 days.”
It gets worse.
In a March 8 filing that was made public Thursday, Trump’s lawyers accused Bragg’s office of attempting to thwart their efforts to get material from the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney.
Trump’s attorneys wrote the documents that were ultimately turned over related to, among other things, bank records and related emails concerning Cohen, and documents seized in 2018 from “two Apple iPhones and three email accounts belonging to Mr. Cohen.”
First he blocks the attempts by the Trump team to gain access to evidence material to his defence, then he’s unwilling to wait more than 30 days for the defendant to digest the evidence he had been blocking.
Had Bragg turned over the evidence in the first place, questions about delays not have been an issue.
Failure to disclose evidence is the sort of thing that prosecutors would normally pay a price for… but seeing as this is New York, we can’t say we’re surprised.
