Bragg could land himself in prison for years for leaking grand jury materials!

NEW YORK (PNN) - April 2, 2023 - As fascist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tries to hang a felony charge on President Donald Trump, leaks from the grand jury indictment against the president could leave Bragg facing his own felony charge - if he was the source of the leak.

Pieces of the indictment, but not the full document, have been leaked to the media, hence reports have been flying that there are 30 counts against Trump, at least one of which is a felony. Bragg is also dealing with calls from House Republicans to provide documents related to his investigation of Trump.

Leaking grand jury documents is a felony in New York, and that means Bragg could be in trouble, former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz wrote in a commentary piece published Friday.

“It is likely that a serious felony has been committed right under District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s nose, and he is not investigating it. Under New York law, it is a felony to leak confidential grand jury information, such as whether the jurors voted to indict. The protection of secrecy is as applicable to President Trump as it is to anyone else,” Dershowitz wrote.

“The most likely, though uncertain, scenario is that a person in Mr. Bragg’s office or a grand juror unlawfully leaked the sealed information,” he wrote.

“It is possible of course that an investigation is underway, but it seems more likely that Mr. Bragg is too busy making up a crime against the man he promised in his campaign to get than investigating a real crime that took place on his watch,” Dershowitz wrote.

Dershowitz’s perspective was shared by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“[A]s if all of that were not third-world enough, someone leaked the news of Donald Trump’s grand jury indictment to the media. Now that in itself is a crime under the law in New York. In fact, a much bigger crime than those under which Donald Trump is being charged,” Carlson wrote.

“Will Alvin Bragg prosecute the leaker? Please. It’s almost certainly someone in his own office,” Carlson wrote.

Trump attorney James Trusty denounced, “leaked indictments making their way out to the public.”

“Again, with Donald Trump, there’s just Rule of Law. This is just a small example of it that begins with Alvin Bragg’s persecution - his stated aim of indicting him,” he said.

Dershowitz had said earlier that Bragg’s reliance on former Trump attorney Michael Cohen as his key witness could be trouble for the district attorney, because Cohen has already pleaded guilty to lying to Congress. Grand jury testimony from Robert Costello, a former legal adviser to Cohen, also attacked Cohen’s credibility.

“If [Bragg] uses Cohen as a witness, he could actually lose his bar license,” Dershowitz told Fox Business Network’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo in a March 26 interview.

That was four days before the news of the indictment exploded on the scene on Thursday.

“It’s unethical to put a witness on the stand who you know is lying, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying,” Dershowitz said. “Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: He drops the case.”

Dershowitz wrote that based on existing leaks, the indictment is related to how payments were entered on the books of the Trump Organization.
