WOKE JUSTICE AT WORK: From the New York Post:
The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence against former President Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels “hush money” case didn’t reconvene Wednesday as scheduled, court officials told The Post.
The afternoon session was unexpectedly canceled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the sources said.
Members of the panel were told to stay home and be on standby for Thursday, a law enforcement source said.
The move — which forestalls a potentially unprecedented indictment of the 45th president in connection with the payment of $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels — came because an unidentified witness was unable to appear, sources said.
The witness is believed to be someone who will rebut Monday’s testimony from lawyer and Trump ally Robert Costello, sources said.
The grand jury was put on standby because it was unclear whether the witness would be available Thursday, a source said.
But court workers began making preparations late Wednesday afternoon for the testimony to take place Thursday, a source said.
Wednesday’s turn of events came as a source with ties to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told The Post that Bragg was concerned following Costello’s testimony. A spokesperson for the DA’s office denied this.
“The last thing he wants is for the grand jury to vote against him,” the source said. “He wants a no-doubt-about-it case. He is pressuring the ‘Trump obsessed’ to step up and prove the case.”
A source inside Bragg’s office also said a substantial number of assistant district attorneys were “shaking their heads” over Bragg’s decision to pursue Trump, 76.
“They don’t understand how this case is going forward,” the source said. “These ADAs are not fans of Trump but they are professional lawyers and know the law.”
Fox News also reported “major dissension” inside Bragg’s office, with one source saying the “weakness” of the evidence against Trump was posing problems for prosecutors.
COMMENT: We have serious foreign crises with talk of nuclear war coming from major officials. We have continuing rampant inflation. We have a weak, faulty national leadership. We have violent crime rampaging through our cities.
And the Soros-bought district attorney of Manhattan, who has his eye on the governor's mansion, is trying to put together a case to wreck the life of a former president, evidence be damned.
I really haven't seen a situation like this before.
