The above ffrom a to be released book, The People vs Donald Trump: An Inside Account, from one the Manhattan DA’s top lawyers who left the Donald Trump case when Mnhattan DA Alvin Bragg put the case on the shelf….
Bragg has rcently chnaged his mind and is taking the Trump ‘Hush Money’ case to a crim inalk Grand Jury…..
This NOT the first time Trump and ‘Mob’ have been mentioned in the same sentence, nor is it the first time people have questioned the ex-President’s sanity….John Gotti was a Organized Crime boss….
New York prosecutors building a case against Donald Trump for allegedly lying about his wealth for tax purposes had to show the former president was “not legally insane”, one of those prosecutors reportedly writes in an eagerly awaited new book.
The lawyer, Mark Pomerantz, also reportedly compares Trump, the only confirmed candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, to famous figures in the world of organised crime including John Gotti, the “Teflon Don” who died in prison in 2002.
In messages seen by the Guardian on Friday, one former Trump administration official called the comparison “unfair to the late Mr Gotti”.
Pomerantz was part of attempts by the Manhattan district attorney’s office to build a case against Trump, but quit in February 2022 as the DA, Alvin Bragg, decided not to indict.
Pomerantz is now the author of The People vs Donald Trump: An Inside Account, due to be published in the US on Tuesday. The book has angered Bragg, who is still investigating Trump, and the former president, who has threatened to sue.
News outlets obtained the book on Friday. The Daily Beast reportedPomerantz’s words about Trump and insanity.
“To rebut the claim that Trump believed his own ‘hype’,” Pomerantz writes, the Beast says, “we would have to show, and stress, that Donald Trump was not legally insane.
“Was Donald Trump suffering from some sort of mental condition that made it impossible for him to distinguish between fact and fiction?”
According to the Beast, Pomerantz writes that lawyers “discussed whether Trump had been spewing bullshit for so many years about so many things that he could no longer process the difference between bullshit and reality”.
The New York Times also obtained the book. It reported that Pomerantz says Trump rose to fame and power “through a pattern of criminal activity”…..
Update….
60 minutes presented a piece on the Pomerantz Book …
It essentially graphicly lays out the Manhattan DA’s and New York Attorney General’s fraud cases against Trump…
One COULD also see the Feds going after Trump for tax evasion….
Powerful stuff….
But is seems prosocutors are very wary about charging a ex-President with crimes that seem very evident to laymen…..
