Henninger on Trump’s Verdict: We Know that the New York Legislatures Have Gone Completely to the Left

RUSH EXCERPT:
HENNINGER: "Well, the cred credibility of the legal system is already under pressure, and what’s really under pressure here is I think the credibility, again, politics is unavoidable, Paul, New York political system and especially New York City. What are people out there sitting back looking at this thinking about New York? We already know that the New York legislatures have gone completely to the left. Mayor Adams, the mayor, is having a difficult time because the city council is so progressive. The state legislature is so progressive. New York State has a reputation for having a highly respectable legal system, and yet with here you had a trial that the southern district, a case they failed to bring. Alvin Bragg pushed this case, got a Manhattan jury, a judge who, by and large, sided with the prosecution on balance throughout the case and somehow brought a conviction from a Manhattan jury. And I think, certainly, New York’s legal system is going to be under a cloud after this, and I think given what has been going on with lawfare generally out there that the American people are really becoming upset about an institution that they bought thought was an arbiter for these kinds of disputes and instead has become a political player."
