You are wrong here, it's clear this is political at it's core.

No other sitting president has ever been charged for very real crimes.

Even many democrats are highly critical of Bragg here.

A political prosecution isn't wrong per se. Many, many prosecutions are political at heart (as seen in "tough on crime", or even "reform a corrupt system" DA offices).

It's not wrong just insanely stupid to hand Trump 2024 on a silver platter.

I don't see this as necessarily doing that. I think it could even make it less likely for him to win. To avoid reposting content: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35381855
