    We all have but the Koch Bros - well let’s say there is a gob smacking amount of information about them

    Greedy billionaires who instead of investing in alternatives to slow the massive amounts of CO2 we are pumping into the atmosphere or even just upgrading the existing ageing tech started misinformation campaigns to keep the obscene amounts of grift flowing their way

    Trump should hire you for his legal team what with your fanciful spinning of the truth.

    I just checked and you would be amazed at how many oil and gas companies Soros invested in and the number of shares he owns.

    95% of CO2 comes from breathing and vulcanism.

    Why does it matter. The indictment has to have substantial supporting evidence that was reviewed and approved by a grand jury. There are reportedly 30+ charges in the indictment. And yet, the Manhattan DA still has to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt that tRaitor tRump is guilty.

    At this point if Bragg’s campaign got some bucks from Soros, however indirectly, it’s irrelevant.

    How many soft on crime DA's did Koch Bros back? .
    Crime has gone up dramatically and almost uniformly when DA's and AG's were backed by Soros

    Yep! NONE Alf them are innocent but at least Soros was not involved in active astroturf misinformation. In fact just Google “Koch Astroturf” and see what floats to the top

    Did not receive money directly from Soros. Look if Trump is innocent he has nothing to fear so what is all the angst about?

    Thank you for the compliment - I think but then again this is a man who has hired both Tacopina and Giuliani so…… not so much of a compliment

    I pity those who fail to understand that it is only Netanyahu and Trump that stand against the Jew and Black Space Laser Alliance.

    So you know Bragg was funded by Soros, but you think its an outrage for Republicans claim Bragg was funded by Soros.
    Got it.

    Whenever Soros backed comes up, it is automatically know to have been made up.

    I would have absolutely no problem arresting George Soros under the Patriot Act.

    Hold him indefinitely, freeze all of his funds, and seize his assets.

    Use that authoritarian monstrosity against the authoritarians themselves!!

    Everything leading up to tRaitor tRump’s indictment was by the book and extensive. I will wager that it is well documented there was nothing left out and nothing added. My guess is Bragg has a record of every step along the way. “Posecurial” isn’t a word but I’d bet it would be impossible to show any misconduct by this prosecutor.

    I just want to say thanks to you defenders of all things Don for proving my point with every post. What you fail to grasp is the thinly veiled effort to taint Bragg by associating him with the great right wing Satan, George Soros. Do you get it now? Step #1 in the Trump playbook is to assassinate the character of the investigators/prosecutors. He does it every time.

    Behind Trump Indictment, the Right Wing Finds a Familiar Villain in Soros

    For more than a quarter-century, from East Asia to Central Europe to the United States, the reclusive financier George Soros has been cast as a puppet master by conspiracy theorists, who have branded him as the man behind the curtains for crises as varied as currency collapses, immigration surges and general moral laxity.

    Now, Mr. Soros, a billionaire and frequent donor to Democratic causes, has been credited by the American right with a new achievement: the indictment of Donald J. Trump.

    The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, was “handpicked and funded by George Soros,” the former president declared on Thursday as news of his indictment was breaking.

    The descriptor “Soros-backed” was attached to Mr. Bragg’s name by Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor and potential White House rival of Mr. Trump; Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, a member of the House Republican leadership; Senator Rick Scott of Florida, the last head of the Senate Republican campaign arm; and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, the far-right firebrand, as she traveled to Manhattan on Monday to protest Mr. Trump’s arraignment.

    I'm of the opinion that the judge will first give him a verbal warning prior to issuing any actual gag order (maybe I don't know the legalities of an actual gag order?). As with the currently constituted and historical dealings of the justice system, he will be afforded much more than any previous accused.
