Hush..



Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg on Tuesday kicked the can one week on the so-called “Trump hush money” case; their next step should be to void the whole thing.
In a better world, they’d apologize for ever entertaining it, admit it was always bogus , toss the verdicts and promise never to abuse the law this way again.
Even without the Supreme Court ruling that calls much of it into question, the legal flaws were huge: 
The charges relied on 1) finding Trump had committed some other crime that no authority ever charged, and 2) using that to morph bookkeeping moves that at most would be a misdemeanor (on which the statute of limitations had already lapsed) into a felony.
