Nassau exec has no place in N.Y. DA’s biz

Continued from Page 14 during and after the indictment. And like Blakeman, they are calling the indictment political.

In doing so, Blakeman and the oth- ers are standing the truth on its head. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Ofce routinely charges people for falsifying business records. Not indicting Trump would itself be political.

There is debate about whether Bragg can be successful in convincing a jury that the charges qualify as felonies based on the intent to use them to further a second crime. And for that matter whether Trump is guilty of any crime. Under the law, Trump has a presumption of innocence.

That’s what trials are for.

In the meantime, Blakeman and the other critics should stop trying to politicize this or any subsequent prosecutions of Trump. And stand behind the legal system they take an oath to uphold.
