Raw Story: 'No obedience in advance': Alvin Bragg said to have shown 'no intention of going quietly'
Raw Story - 'No obedience in advance': Alvin Bragg said to have shown 'no intention of going quietly'

A lot of Donald Trump's legal problems vanished when he won the presidency, but one Trump prosecutor isn't backing down, a legal expert said Wednesday.
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance raised the discussion, pointing to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's recent legal filing indicating that he isn’t ready to let Trump off the hook in his fraud case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant’s inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist,” Bragg’s office wrote in the 82-page filing urging Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trump’s request.
According to Vance, "Bragg made it clear he had no intention of going quietly."
"No obedience in advance from the office that obtained the only criminal conviction against Donald Trump before his election win ran out the clock on the three other criminal cases against him," the former prosecutor wrote.
