In a series of tweets, Turley said he is “highly critical of this case,” which he called potentially “flawed.” …Bragg may be able to expect highly motivated judges and jurors in New York. However, the novelty and questions in this case would present difficult appellate issues for the prosecution. — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) March 18, 2023 “This is a flawed case if it is based on a state charge effectively prosecuting the federal election violation,” wrote Turley. “That … [Read more...] about ‘Legally Pathetic’: Jonathon Turley Shreds Bragg’s Potential Case Against Trump
