No, you are incorrect. The case was first brought by Cy Vance in front of a grand jury when he was on his way out of office in 2021. He left the rest of the case to Bragg.

Vance authorized the attorneys on the team to present evidence to the grand jury near the end of 2021, but he did not seek an indictment. Those close to Vance say he wanted to leave the decision to Bragg, the newly elected district attorney.

Bragg's grand jury was not the first grand jury to have heard the evidence.

> As for the rest, this discussion is clearly going nowhere.

I disagree, I think you're learning a lot of new facts about the case you were unaware of before. Like the one above. I'm happy to spread knowledge.

> If you don't think that's political bias, I can't convince you.

If you think that's political bias then you must think every Democrat is politically biased against Republicans and vice versa, so therefore no Democrat can ever investigate a Republican. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to me to be the obvious conclusion from your stance. I don't see a way a Democrat could prosecute a Republican without charges of political bias with your outlook on what constitutes bias.

Thankfully that's not the system we live under (yet), so I don't care if I can't convince you that's a bad way to run things. Suffice it to say though, you (and moreover Trump) are going to be sorely disappointed if that's your expectation for how things run.

Edit in response to your edit (as the someone else said, learn to post, you're supposed to wait for the rate limiter to expire not to circumvent it with edits):

> Edit: Stop wasting my time. You claimed Vance brought the case, then quoted a source proving that was false: "Vance did not seek an indictment". To avoid admitting your mistake, you changed your claim from "brought the case" to "the first grand jury". I don't think you're discussing this in good faith.

1) I'm not wasting your time, any moment you spend here is a moment you choose to spend. If you consider the time engaged with me wasted, you are the one wasting it. I haven't forced you to write a single word or to spend a single second doing something you didn't want to do.

2) That "Vance did not seek an indictment" does not mean Vance didn't originally bring the case. The facts were originally made public in 2018 due to Michael Cohen's testimony before Congress. Cy Vance then opened a case into the allegations, and advanced it to the point where in 2021 it was in front of a grant jury. Crucially at that point, Vance was on his way out and Bragg had already been elected. Which means while the case was being worked on before Bragg even got it, which is what he states in the other source I linked in this thread ("I haven't seen the facts of the case yet", meaning the case that Cy Vance started).

Either way, the point you seem very intent on missing, is that when Bragg started as DA, there was a case already started by Vance, that had already been before a grand jury once before, that already had been investigated and worked on for years. So to say that the case only made it to trial because Bragg had some sort of political agenda is false. He said before he was elected that he would continue the case and let the facts direct it, without prejudging it. You are conveniently ignoring all of that to conclude the prosecution was politically motivated because Bragg is a Democratic political operative. The track record and history of the case does not bear that theory out.

> I don't think you're discussing this in good faith.

Then don't talk to me anymore, I'm not going to try and convince you of my faith. Why am I spending all these words and hours if I'm not being genuine? Don't waste your time with such pointless allegations, just go do something else.

I've said already I'm not a lawyer so maybe I'm not using terms precisely that you understand a different way, but I'm not trying to deceive you or make specious arguments. I'm genuinely engaging with you at a fine grained level and we are honed in on this idea that Bragg is a political operative. You've brought very light evidence to bear such as anodyne statements of a desire for pursue accountability of political figures like Trump, and the fact he worked for a Democratic state government, but you haven't explained how that doesn't preclude all Democrats from investigating any Republican. I'm still waiting on that logic.

But moreover you claim Bragg's history of bringing DACA cases against the Trump administration on behalf of citizens is evidence of some sort of Democratic political animus against Trump himself.

To which I pointed out in fact the case was first brought/started/opened/whatever not by Bragg, but by his predecessor. The most aggressive statement against Trump you can find is Bragg stating he will continue the already started case, and he will let the facts take him where they may, which includes holding Trump accountable if necessary, but all the while not prejudging before looking at the facts of the case.

Which.... just doesn't rise to the level of political bias you are alleging that would bring into question the veracity of the case that just concluded.
