DA Alvin Bragg lets NYC crime run rampant as he pursues empty case against Trump

Headline-chasing Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s vanity project of a trial against former president Donald Trump comes at a high cost for New Yorkers.

The time and expense Bragg has devoted to the flimsy-as-a-cobweb Trump charges are indefensible given how many dangerous crimes go unprosecuted.

Criminals roam the streets with little fear of facing jail time.

Manhattan’s crime clearance rate is an abysmal 29.8%.

In 2023, NYC’s 109,303 prosecuted arrests resulted in an imprisonment rate of less than 7%.

While Trump is going to trial and faces six to eight weeks of “embarrassing evidence,” most New York criminal cases summarily plea bargained.
