Two top prosecutors from the Manhattan (N.Y.) district attorney\u2019s office have quit, reportedly throwing a criminal investigation into Donald J. Trump into some state of disarray. The chatter suggests the new DA has choked on deciding whether to indict Donald for any sort of allegation associated with a longstanding criminal probe into his business dealings.<\/p>\n

Does this mean Trump is home free? That he has nothing about which to worry? Oh, no. Far from it.<\/p>\n

DA Alvin Bragg reportedly has balked on proceeding with indicting Donald. Two of his top legal eagles quit simultaneously, suggesting to many observers that there\u2019s a major disagreement within the DA\u2019s office on how to proceed.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s hold on for a minute. This is one investigation. Do I want it to end now? No! As an ardent critic of Donald Trump, my preference would be for the DA who took over from a veteran prosecutor \u2014 Cyrus Vance Jr. \u2014 to follow the evidence and the law all the way to the end.<\/p>\n

However, the New York attorney general, Letitia James, is still working on our own investigation into Trump\u2019s alleged business chicanery. Let us also remember that the Trump Organization already is has been indicted on charges of tax fraud and other matters.<\/p>\n

Oh, and then we have yet another criminal investigation down yonder in Fulton County, Ga., where DA Fani Willis is examining whether to prosecute Donald on a charge of interfering in a state election process. Donald did demand that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger \u201cfind\u201d enough votes to swing the state from Joe Biden\u2019s column to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Finally, there\u2019s the House select committee examining Trump\u2019s role in inciting the insurrection on 1\/6. We now hear of possible cooperation with the committee from key Donald Trump acolytes, such as Rudolph Giuliani and \u2014 get a load of this! \u2014 Ivanka Trump, the elder daughter of Donald. The Justice Department already has indicted one key Trump aide, Steve Bannon, on a charge of contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena.<\/p>\n

This is all my way of suggesting that the resignations of the DA\u2019s office prosecutor might not be as big a deal as many are making of it. The quitters might have stalled the progress of that probe by virtue of their resignation. It isn\u2019t the end of Donald Trump\u2019s troubles. Not by a very long shot!<\/p>\n
