Former President Donald Trump threatened New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as Bragg investigates and prepares to indict Trump for his earlier New York crimes. Specifically, Trump indicates there will be "death and destruction" if Bragg indicts hims. Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture. This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: "a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . " When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump's threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump - one for the "death and destruction" post and one for the baseball bat post. Because justice matters.
