  • Yes, the brief's everything-but-the-kitchen sink, grievance-laden brief is predictable. But it's also a potential harbinger of policies
  • and penalties
  • to come.

The article from MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Blog discusses former President Donald Trump's legal team's efforts to have the hush money case against him dismissed. Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, argued in a motion that the case should be dismissed due to alleged prosecutorial misconduct, claiming that the Manhattan District Attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, has engaged in a "deliberate and calculated effort to taint the jury pool." The motion also contends that the charges are politically motivated and that the case should be dismissed because the statute of limitations has expired. However, the article points out that these arguments are unlikely to succeed, as the statute of limitations was extended due to Trump's time outside of New York, and the case involves complex legal issues around campaign finance violations and falsification of business records. The article suggests that while Trump's team is making these motions, the likelihood of the case being dismissed on these grounds remains low.
