No one really cared to persecute him on some trumped up BS. This Bragg idiot is only trying to score polital points for himself, he's only going to make himself the fool (notice I didn't say "Look Like") This is just a smear campaign agaist someone they know they can't defeat because the DemocRATS are void of ideas that resonate with a majority of the American public. That's why they try to do everything in their power against election reform (Such as Voter ID) so they can still cheat, and STEAL elections..........

Clinton was sued and settled the lawsuit.  Jones gave depositions and forced Clinton to do the same.  When you get judges involved before the money changes hands, the legal implications are very different.  Also it was 1998 and Clinton couldn't run again, so no campaign laws were in play.

However, this scorched earth policy of the end justifying the means is setting a dangerous precedent. Manipulation of the legal system for political purposes will only generate endless retribution as legal and bureaucratic institutions become willing political pawns. We’ve seen it happen to the fourth estate and this is the natural progression. The rule of law which makes this country a beacon for the world is being eroded in front of our very eyes. This will have consequences far beyond this election cycle. You can count on that.

I don't see that angle at all.  I don't think Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden work together.  If that type of conspiracy is possible, why didn't Cyrus Vance do it?
