I put this alongside this:

It's not clear how ready the Trump legal team is for a likely indictment in Manhattan. But the Trump campaign is preparing for a war against the Manhattan DA, his political allies say https://t.co/nCpryayRsu

Trump continues to shoot spitwads in a gun fight. He’s denying he even paid Stormy Daniels while his lawyer admits it. And now he wants to find dirt on the DA who probably won’t even try this case 

Yes, Trump is high profile, but DA’s don’t try cases. They administer departments. I know it doesn’t work that way on TeeVee, but do you expect Garland to replace Smith in Trump’s criminal trial? Of course not.

So attacking Bragg won’t even poison the jury pool. It might help Trump with his supporters, and so maybe help him in the primaries (still a year away); but it’ll mean bugger all in court.

This is further proof Trump has no idea what he’s up against. Or what to do about it.
