Entitled "Lawfare: How the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and a New York State Judge Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump," the report is based on extensive investigations by the Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that peg Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan as acting in violation of the law with their pursuit of Trump.
After scrutinizing the 34-count criminal indictment against Trump, announced on April 4, 2023, investigators made the following discoveries about the legal and procedural defects in Bragg's prosecution of Trump:
1) Bragg presented an unprecedented and unconstitutional theory of criminal liability that did not require jury unanimity on each element of the criminal offenses.
2) Bragg overreached into federal jurisdiction by prosecuting alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws, reserved strictly for federal authorities, with no intervention from the Biden regime to uphold federal interests.
As for Judge Merchan, the report identified the following anomalies with the way he handled Trump:
1) Merchan failed to recuse himself despite clear political bias.
2) Merchan imposed an unconstitutional gag order on Trump during the trial.
3) Merchan allowed admission of inadmissible, irrelevant and prejudicial testimony against Trump.

4) Merchan refused to allow former Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Bradley Smith to testify regarding the many complexities of the Federal Election Campaign Act.

Bragg, Merchan and the rest of the anti-Trump crusaders who participated in this witch hunt acted well outside the bounds of the law. Keep in mind that both Bragg and Merchan swore an oath of office to uphold the Constitution, which they failed to do in the Trump case.
"The findings emphasize that both Bragg and Merchan, who took oaths to support the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution, deviated from their constitutional responsibilities in their pursuit of Trump's indictment and conviction," reports Your News.
"Given the legal and constitutional errors cited in the indictment and trial, the report suggests that an honest review of the facts and law by appellate courts could lead to the conviction being vacated and the indictment dismissed with prejudice. This, according to the report, would help restore public trust in the American justice system. The Committee and Select Subcommittee will continue to oversee and address the broader implications of such politically motivated legal actions."
In the comments, someone outraged about the revelations noted that you know you are "in a swamp full of alligators" when you have local DAs, in this case Bragg, deciding federal law.
"Now something must be done about this miscarriage of justice instead of just talking about it," wrote another.
"That judge should be disbarred and put in jail for his corruption," said someone else, adding that there are probably going to be a whole lot of people who retire before Trump is inevitably reelected back to the White House this fall.
"I want to see that judge sitting in prison," said another. "Then put him in contempt-of-court solitary for a few weeks when he inevitably thinks he is the legalest person in the room."
