As former President Donald Trump was arrested in New York today on charges related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, opponents are pointing to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s skewed priorities.
Trump has chastised Bragg for being too mild on crime, having reduced most felony charges to misdemeanors.
Meanwhile, Bragg has embraced novel and contentious legal ideas to elevate what should be a minor case against Trump to a felony.
While he has spent enormous public resources and time prosecuting Trump on dubious grounds, he dropped charges for a career criminal with nearly 90 felony offenses stretching back 35 years.

According to law enforcement officials, Bragg has aggressively prosecuted Trump while letting seasoned criminals go free who police have worked hard to apprehend.
According to reports, Trump will not have to appear in court again in Manhattan until December 2023.
The New York Post Reports:
Controversial Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is lavishly spending tax dollars to prosecute former President Donald Trump on what critics call politically motivated charges — while giving career criminals a break.
Rodney Johnson, 53, who has nearly 90 busts on his rap sheet and two state prison stints under his belt, had his felony robbery charges knocked down to slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanors by Bragg’s office last week, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Johnson was just one of the career criminals who have been handed light sentences or cut loose early by the lefty DA.
“This guy has been breaking the law for 35 years,” one law enforcement source said.
“He’s been a one-man robbery spree preying on low-wage workers, then when the cops catch the guy, Bragg’s office downgrades the felon charges,” the sources said.
“All the while [Bragg] chases an indictment of the former president for paying a porn star. Priorities.”
The felon skipped out on a court-ordered intervention program three times on a 2021 felony robbery case.
But the criminal was handed just $1 bail on the previous charges, records show. It wasn’t clear on Tuesday whether the suspect had made bail.
