Controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is under fire.
Donald Trump won’t be surprised about this latest bombshell.
And now Alvin Bragg is in big trouble after this nasty scandal broke.
As Swamp Digest reports:
District Attorney Alvin Bragg has already misused the power of his office to come after Donald Trump in an attempt to keep him out of the White House.
This is unprecedented in American history and very dangerous to democracy, as it is an attempt to take away the people’s right to choose their leaders.
But that’s not all Bragg has done. He apparently has also been using his power as District Attorney to come after people who by all accounts have done nothing wrong.
These people are engaged in collecting antique art, some of which is extremely valuable.
Unfortunately, some of these pieces were stolen many years ago by some unnamed person in the past.
The people who now own these pieces did nothing wrong, but Alvin Bragg is coming after them nonetheless.
According to National Review, “Good causes can become schticks and, in the case of the Manhattan DA’s stolen-art division, at the very least questionable. Lots of art has been seized and returned to wronged families and countries. Many times, I’ve thought, This makes sense. Over the past few years, as I’ve seen and learned more, I’ve tweaked my take. Has the restitution movement become a shakedown machine? Is it infected with the woke anti-colonialism disease?”
National Review is suggesting that this woke ideology is informing his decision to go after innocent art collectors as well.
The article continues, “The Getty, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and private collectors surrendered their art after the DA’s office threatened them with civil seizure and criminal penalties. They looked at their art, imagined long days à la Trump at the courthouse on 100 Centre Street, and said, ‘Take it, please.’ Good people want to be left alone.”
“The home of Shelby White, then an 85-year-old lady and antiquities collector, was raided. White is a huge and distinguished philanthropist, which means a force for good. I’ve met her. She went to Mount Holyoke, on whose museum board I served. All Holyoke girls are earnest and art-minded.”
It’s clear White and others saw what happened with Trump and decided they didn’t want to meet the same fate at the hands of Alvin Bragg.
That’s why they felt they had no choice but to hand over their most valuable possessions to Bragg when his agents came knocking at their door.
It’s unfortunate to see people who do not deserve this type of treatment suffer this fate.
But it lines up with a larger pattern of behavior by Alvin Bragg – and that’s making a career of going after innocent people.
