Alvin Bragg has already notched one historic first, taking office Saturday as Manhattan’s first Black district attorney. Now he’s weighing another: whether to make Donald Trump the first former president ever charged with a crime.

As district attorney, Bragg inherited an investigation into Trump and his business practices from his predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., who declined to seek reelection last year after 12 years in the high-profile job.

After weeks of speculation about whether Vance would close his tenure with a bang by indicting Trump, the former D.A. has passed that decision to Bragg, a 48-year-old civil rights lawyer and former federal prosecutor who was sworn in at a private ceremony, in part because of COVID-19 concerns.

Bragg told CNN last month that he’ll be directly involved in the Trump matter. He also said he has asked the two veteran prosecutors who led the case under Vance — general counsel Carey Dunne and former mafia prosecutor Mark Pomerantz — to stay on and see it through.

What's not mentioned in the article is that Bragg helped successfully get Trump on one grift. When he was a state prosecutor, he helped bring a successful civil case against the Trump Foundation, in which Trump personally acknowledged illegally misusing charitable funds.

And to announce he is running , which will throw the GOP potential candidates into disarray.

I seriously doubt it and if he does I think it's just another of his lies. He wouldn't dare risk another loss and be known as a loser. That is his worst fear. One thing is for sure, he still has the gop by the balls and they still aren't sure if they should denounce him or not?

Just because he announces it, and starts a donation campaign, doesn't mean he will actually RUN in the end.
He'll collect his millions in donations, and then reconsider.

Now that sounds more like the DJT I know.

Perhaps he’ll bellow his way into an indictment.

After all, he blustered his way into a government shutdown.
