We’ve Called BS on the Bragg Case

Help Andy McCarthy and the rest of us keep up the fight.

I knew what was truly going on in the Alvin Bragg trial, with its shocking legal lapses from the indictment to the guilty verdict, for a very simple reason — I was reading Andy McCarthy.

If you feel the same way, and value how NR has dissected this travesty each step of the way, please make it possible for us to keep it up, by supporting our work.

For my money, among outlets skeptical of or hostile to the Bragg case, no one has done it better. There are other publications that may have pounded the table harder or fulminated more, but none that have been as credible, informative, and incisive as NR.

A bunch of my colleagues have been responsible for that, but I’ll single out Andy McCarthy.

What can I say about Andy? It’s not fair for someone to be this knowledgeable, this prolific, and this acute. And he’s done all his writing in between all his invaluable commentary for Fox News.

I witnessed a legendary legal luminary joking with Andy before an event not too long ago that the only thing that can explain his output is that he’s secretly powered by ChatGPT.

I can count on maybe two fingers what I remember Andy getting wrong the last several years, and not only am I a devoted reader, I talk to him for about an hour every week on his podcast The McCarthy Report.

His work on the Russia hoax was invaluable, and he was on top of every aspect of the Biden influence-peddling scandal. But he’s truly outdone himself exposing the shocking conduct of Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan in the Stormy Daniels case that resulted in a verdict meant to sway the presidential election.

If you appreciate all he’s done to push back against the campaign of lawfare against Donald Trump, if you think the rule of law deserves the very best defense, if you refuse to accept the lazy, politically motivated coverage of the rest of the media, please chip in whatever you can to keep NR doing this indispensable work.

We are devoted at NR to the idea that it isn’t enough to feel something is wrong; you need to know why it’s wrong, with a superior grasp of the facts and all the particulars. That’s what we’ve done every day during this sorry episode, and it has mattered.

Often, the arguments we’ve made about the case have been echoed widely by other commentators.

I was on a cable TV set the other day, and one of the hosts was having an intense conversation with a producer in her ear — about something Andy had written.

And on America’s Newsroom the other day, Bill Hemmer asked a legal guest if she had read Andy’s latest piece, and Dana Perino joked, Which one? He writes a couple of new ones every day.

We are proud, justifiably, I think, of our work on this case, which, unfortunately, isn’t going away anytime soon. If you want to help us keep at it, we’d be grateful for a donation in any amount, from $5 to $5,000.

Thank you, as always. It means so much to count you as among our friends.
