Every criminal in American history has had to get a mug shot when being booked for a crime(s). It's been part of the justice system requirements for over a hundred years.
But not Trump! If rumors prove to be true, the biggest criminal in the United States is NOT going to have to pose for a booking photo. That's never happened before. There's never been an exception... until now.
One of Trump's corrupt attorneys, Alina Habba, told reporters that it's not necessary to have The Donald's mug shot because... wait for it... everyone in the world knows who he is.
"There's no need for theatrics," Habba said.
No shit Sherlock! That's not the point.
If Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg really believes no one is above the law, then why change over a century of booking procedure to keep from embarrassing the most corrupt president in American history?
I really hope this is just a rumor and Donnie gets his mugshot.
But if it's true that the orange buffoon will be the first exception it can only be attributed to politics. Threats coming from the MAGA rats in Congress are undoubtably causing a chilling effect on Bragg. Whether he admits it or not.
So far, his office has pushed back against MAGA politicians and sent letters warning them that the pressure their putting on him and the State of New York's judicial system is unconstitutional.
Of course, that's only going to slow them down. They're already busy looking at other ways to defend Trump... even though they don't know exactly what charges are going to be filed today.
I don't care that Trump is a former president and a candidate to run for president in 2024. The biggest reason Trump decided to run so early is that he believes that it'll insulate him from judicial investigations.
As it stands, that remains to be seen, but when I see such a blatant exception for standard police procedure it bothers me.
