Why Trump's attempt to dismiss the New York hush money case warrants attention

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : That's especially true given that it was signed by only two lawyers -- Todd Blanche and Emil Bove -- whom Trump has picked for top Justice Department spots in his new administration.
49% : Trump's brief stretches constitutional concerns with prosecuting a sitting president to a time period before his term: the transition.
41% : Specifically, Trump emphasizes that anything but a full dismissal of the Manhattan case would disrupt his transition efforts and thus, disrupt the very functioning of the federal government.
40% : That's particularly true now that Trump's legal proceedings are quietly winding down or are being frozen in place: Special counsel Jack Smith has quietly obtained the dismissal of both cases under his purview; meanwhile, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' 2020 election interference case has been on hold for months as Trump and multiple co-defendants challenge her very ability to lead that prosecution.
29% : And of course, after agreeing to pause all remaining post-trial proceedings until after the election, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is now fighting to preserve the New York hush money case, which Trump moved to dismiss in a motion made public Tuesday.
29% : And you're tired of Trump evading justice and people like me playing Cassandra.
23% : "Trump's intended nominees to lead the primary federal law enforcement agencies, namely, Pam Bondi at the DOJ and Kash Patel at the FBI, have publicly warned that critics of Trump and/or those who have prosecuted him will be pursued.
17% : Trump world encompasses more reasonable, experienced minds who surely recognize no federal statute criminalizes even the most charged of the brief's allegations, such as its assertion that by the time Trump was tried last spring, "the prosecutors were willing to say or do anything to obtain a conviction."
