Trump Warns Of ‘Death And Destruction’ If He Is Charged In Hush Money Probe

They have smear attacks on twitter against Bragg.

Trump posted a nasty thing yesterday holding a baseball bat poised to clobber Bragg in a photo.
https://www.aol.com/news/anger-trump-posts-picture-himself-053933204.html

“Threatening a prosecutor is a crime in NY. In fact MULTIPLE crimes: Harassment in the first degree NYPL 240.25; menacing in the second degree NYPL 120.14; stalking in the fourth or third degree NYPL 120.45 & 120.50 And that’s just for starters….” he tweeted.


How what Trump is doing is not obstruction of justice, I don't know.

It's called Obstructing Governmental Administration in NY state.
https://www.new-york-lawyers.org/obstructing-governmental-administration.html#:~:text=Second%20Degree%20OGA%3A%20The%20Elements%20of%20NY%20Penal%20Law%20195.05&text=If%20convicted%20of%20Second%20Degree,judge%20or%20prosecutor%20deem%20appropriate.
Generally, if you impair or hinder the administration of law or prevent a public servant, often, but not necessarily, a police officer, from performing his or her official duty and job, then you are close to having violated NY Penal Law 195.05. Because obstruction can be accidental or even intentional without being nefarious, the other crucial element that is required by law is that your intentional obstruction be pursued and done through some manner of intimidation, interference, physical force or an independently unlawful act.


Forget Stormy. Arrest him for that and deny him bail while keeping him in the court house he's going to be tried at - to protect the others at the court from being bombed.

How could that go to trial? They've got him dead to rights.
