. AndrewCMcCarthy: Here's more evidence Alvin Bragg's crusade against Donald Trump is political
Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy says the New York district attorney is an elected official which could politically sway his prosecutorial actions.As has been widely observed, the New York State crime of falsification of business records, which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is expected to charge against, is a misdemeanor.
If Bragg cannot prove a felony – i.e., if he fails to establish not only that Trump falsified records but also that he knew he had committed some second crime and intentionally sought to conceal it by falsifying the records – the case should be dismissed as time-barred. If the last activity relevant to the case occurred in 2018, then the statute-of-limitations period for the felony would lapse five years later . Bragg can be expected to argue that New York law tolls the statute of limitations during periods when the defendant is residing out of the state – as Trump was while he was president and when he moved his state of residence to Florida.
