John, former President Donald J. Trump was arraigned today in the Lower Manhattan Courthouse — the next step in his indictment after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s investigation.
It is a historic first as Trump becomes the first former president EVER to be indicted. And conservatives have gotten even more violent in the past few days, threatening Alvin Bragg in response.
Members of the GOP are threatening to disbar him and remove his immunity.
They even want to put him in JAIL simply for doing his job as a prosecutor and holding Trump accountable for his crimes.
This hateful, charged rhetoric will only get worse and worse as this case develops. In fact, as we’ve witnessed in many red states, GOP officials will use any means necessary to retaliate against progressive leaders in office.
And right now, DA Alvin Bragg is the number one target for conservatives in Washington.
Today in New York City, Trump’s supporters gathered to protest the arraignment of their so-called leader. They want him to be allowed to commit crimes, and get away with them without any form of justice.
And the GOP in Washington are not only tweeting threats; they are getting to work to smear Bragg and interrupt the case.
John, the attacks are coming from all sides, and if they succeed in taking revenge against DA Alvin Bragg, they know they will be able to come after every progressive DA in this country who cares about justice and roll back all the progress and good that we’ve done.
It’s absolutely critical that we protect Alvin Bragg against this retaliation and let conservatives know they will not intimidate us for seeking justice, holding powerful people, and cops accountable when they commit crimes, and protecting people’s rights.
In solidarity,
Real Justice
