Ashtabula County GOP chair blasts Trump indictment

Ashtabula County Republican Party Chair Charlie Frye had strong words about the recently unsealed indictment against former President Donald Trump.

Trump was arraigned in a New York City court on Tuesday, and pleaded not guilty to 34 charges of falsifying business records.

After reviewing the 34 unsealed indictments it's even worse than what was illegally leaked to the press. Thirty four ridiculous counts tied to an unstated crime to manufacture felony charges against a political opponent AND former President. The Federal Elections Commission investigation in 2021 has already stated what District Attorney Bragg is claiming is false. This would be a joke if it were not such a deeply disturbing act. We are talking about a hyper partisan D.A. in Alvin Bragg who weaponized his office for the sole purpose of trying to remove a political opponent from the ballot box. He campaigned in his last election that if he was elected he would get Trump! This is not who we are. The United States of America settles its political disputes at the ballot box, not the courthouse. 

This needs to stop before our legal system becomes that of a third world banana republic
