 No wonder so many people tell pollsters they were unmoved by the verdict or that they will now vote for Mr. Trump because of it. The broader context makes it even worse. Mr. Bragg openly campaigned on the vow to hold Mr. Trump and his family accountable. It is one thing for a prosecutor to promise to pursue crimes of concern to the public, but Mr. Bragg did not pursue any particular crime. He pursued the defendant who happened to be the other party's candidate for president.
