….“In that case, campaign expenditure limits were ruled to be flatly unconstitutional as a violation of the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech. Under Buckley v. Valeo, an individual like Donald Trump can spend an unlimited amount of his own money promoting his own campaign. But, the Supreme Court in Buckley did uphold contribution limits on how much an individual or a group could contribute to influence an election. Alvin Bragg argues that the Trump organization's contribution of $130,000 to pay Stormy Daniels hush money exceeded federal campaign finance limits on contributions. The federal government itself has adopted a policy of not prosecuting hush money payments as illegal campaign contributions in the wake of its embarrassing loss of such a prosecution brought against Democratic Vice Presidential contender John Edwards who had paid hush money to a mistress with who he had had a child out of wedlock….

….“Campaign finance limits prevent speech by people who want to engage in it. They have changed Congress so badly that today Members of Congress spend 70% of their time raising money rather then legislating or meeting with their constituents because of absurdly low campaign finance limits that have not been adequately raised to match inflation since those laws were enacted in the 1970's. The post-Watergate campaign finance laws were and always have been flagrantly unconstitutional in their totality….
Page 2: Bragg’s prosecution also violates the New York constitution because the felony business-records-falsification statute he invokes fails to spell out, expressly and with specificity, the ‘other crimes’ that trigger it — and, in the instance of this prosecution against Trump, fails to spell out whether the state legislature intended to empower state prosecutors to enforce federal campaign law.”

“...in my view, the action civil fraud action brought against former President Donald Trump was a case of selective prosecution of a victimless crime brought because of Trump’s political views, and because he is the de facto nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election. Selective prosecution raises both due process and equal protection clause issues of the kind that led the Framers to ban Bills of Attainder and Ex Post Facto laws, which clauses are also relevant here.” https://reason.com/volokh/2024/02/23/former-president-donald-trumps-new-york-state-civil-fraud-verdict/

The New York Sun: “An expert witness blasted the civil fraud case against President Trump and his business empire on Thursday. ‘You really ought to be ashamed of yourself,’ a professor of accounting at New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business, Eli Bartov, loudly declared from the witness stand…’People that don’t know accounting can think this is all fraud,’ Mr. Bartov explained. ‘My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud.’ He said he thoroughly reviewed the Trump Organization’s statements of financial condition, and his analysis showed that they ‘were not materially misstated.’ ‘So your expert opinion is, from an accounting perspective, the attorney general’s complaint had no merit?’ Judge Engoron asked. ‘Absolutely, my opinion, absolutely,’ Mr. Bartov reinforced. ‘There is not a single reference to a violation of any accounting provision.’

Just like New York, the Racist District Attorney in Atlanta, who presides over one of the most deadly and violent jurisdictions in the U.S. (and does nothing about it!), is having an impossible time showing that my “PERFECT” phone call was bad, when none of the many lawyers on the call interjected that I was saying something wrong or improper - Not even a word of admonishment. They never hung up or said “how dare you.” That’s because, as everyone knows, there was nothing wrong with the call!

Here we go again! The Radical Left Dems fraudulently created the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, they got caught and failed, but tried to get me with “obstructing” their Fake investigation of their fraudulent, made up story. So, they make up a vicious & fake story, I fight it, and they claim I obstructed the investigation. It didn’t work, but now they are doing the same thing with the RAID on Mar-a-Lago assault. I did nothing wrong, they did. It is prosecutorial misconduct!
