Asking Donald Trump to keep a secret, is like asking a goldfish to go without water, or asking a dolphin (not the Miami Dolphins) to run the New York Marathon. He's not what you would call a poker player. At least not a successful poker player. He just laid out his entire defense for his upcoming Manhattan trial. And that's assuming Judge Juan Merchan will allow a defense that actually has nothing to do with the case at hand. 

Do I doubt whether or not District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his prosecution team wants  Donald Trump to be President of the United States or not? Of course they don't want him to be President again. But they're acting completely within the law here. 

Manhattan DA has solid evidence that Donald J. Trump violated New York campaign finance laws back in 2016, when he failed to report the hush money payment that he made to Stormy Daniels, to prevent her from disclosing the adulterous affair that she had with him, while he was not only married to Melania back in 2006, but she was carrying his baby, who turned out to be his son Barron. 

Had the Manhattan hush money story broke in October 2016 when the hush money payment was made, it's very likely that would've hurt Donald Trump with Independents. Which is why he paid her off. The hush money payment is not illegal. The failure to disclose it, which was a campaign contribution to his political campaign, is illegal. At least in New York City. 

The Manhattan District Attorney is just enforcing the laws of New York, in Manhattan. And it just so happens that Donald Trump is still a resident of Manhattan. And he was a full-time resident back in 2016. he's also still running for President, and the Manhattan District Attorney doesn't like him, and they're legally doing what they can to prevent him from ever becoming President of the United States again. 

And anyone who still believes in American liberal democracy and the rule of law in this country, (and hopefully that's a solid majority) should be thanking the Manhattan District Attorney for what they[re doing here.
