This clip from the American Greatness documentary "Chasing Trump" looks at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg:
CHASING TRUMP, AMERICAN GREATNESS: The George Soros-backed Manhattan D.A., Alvin Bragg. Trump hater and ultra-liberal Soros invested $1 million in Bragg's campaign and it paid big dividends as Bragg has let criminals go free while pursuing a purely political prosecution against President Donald Trump.
FORMER REP. DAN RATCLIFFE: These are people who are only being supported with, you know, $40 million, in the case of Alvin Bragg, a million dollars from George Soros only because of a promise that if you're in this position, you will pursue political prosecution of our opponents on the right.
FOX NEWS REPORTER: Those on the huge political donations from George Soros and his family members that have supported Alvin Bragg and his ability to get into the office of district Attorney here in Manhattan.
GEORGE BOCHETTO, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Alvin Bragg in New York City, who is a Trump prosecutor, is himself changing dramatically the office of prosecution in New York City.
He's not prosecuting, he's derelict in his duty to carry out his functions for the everyday law and order on the streets of New York City. Yet he wants to make a big deal out of prosecuting Trump because he believes that will bring him national attention.
CHASING TRUMP: .Trump was in the New York real estate game for decades. Now, suddenly Bragg finds something suspicious. It's politics, plain and simple.
JOHN BOLTON: Well, speaking of someone who very strongly does not want Donald Trump to get the Republican presidential nomination, I'm extraordinarily distressed by this document. I think this is even weaker than I feared it would be.
ANDREW MCCABE, FORMER FBI DIRECTOR: If I had to characterize it. It's a disappointment. I think everyone was hoping we would see more.
VAN JONES: I had hoped that there would be more in the indictment.
CNN ANALYST: Here's where we're going to run into legal problems because the indictment does not seem what that second crime is, which is completely inexplicable to me.
SEAN HANNITY: Look at this, Mitt Romney, he hates Donald Trump, but he released this statement, quote. "The prosecutor's overreach sets a dangerous precedent for criminalizing political opponents and damages the public's faith in our justice system."
Former Congressman, Justin Amash, who enthusiastically voted to impeach Donald Trump, he tweeted out quote: "I am stunned that any prosecutor would move forward with this. It's even flimsier that we were led to believe 34, stacked counts bootstrapped to an unstated crime to manufacture felony charges."
MIKE DAVIS, ARTICLE III PROJECT FOUNDER: Alvin Bragg has diverted so many resources in the Manhattan DA's office to get Trump that they have let crime get out of hands out of control in New York City. Alvin Bragg is the George Soros-funded Manhattan DA and he has brought a bogus criminal indictment against President Trump for the noncrime of a businessman settling a nuisance claim. And Alvin Bragg has somehow turned that into multiple felony charges under some convoluted campaign finance theory.
CHASING TRUMP: Bragg's record as a prosecutor is terrifying, seven NYPD officers were shot in the first weeks of Bragg's term. Hundreds of police officers and district attorneys have resigned.
BRIAN ANDERSON, FORMER NYC COMMISSIONER: DA Bragg is sending a clear message that it's ok to police officers. It's becoming fair game for law enforcement, upon law enforcement from people.
CHASING TRUMP: Rape, robberies, and felonies were up dramatically. Bragg has allowed a small group of 10 repeat offenders to go on a criminal rampage. The 10 offenders have a combined total of 500 arrests. It got so bad, the NYPD commissioner blasted Bragg's soft-on-crime policies.
NEWSMAX REPORTER: We've seen a number of reports where there have been repeat offenders. The New York Times had this report out yesterday, had to do with shoplifters and basically a number of those folks who had been caught shoplifting, did it again and committed the crimes over and over.
CHASING TRUMP: New York is a far less safe city Thanks to Bragg. Politics, not law and order come first with Alvin Bragg.
KT MCFARLAND:l I would suggest that Mr Bragg might want to do the job he was hired by the people of New York to do, which is to protect New Yorkers.
GEORGE BOCHETTO, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Alvin Bragg, in spending so much time and energy and making such a priority out of "getting Trump" rather than prosecuting street crime, rather than prosecuting gun violations, rather than prosecuting retail theft, he's destroying the quality of life in New York City. That's George Soros's agenda.
"Get Trump," get these progressive prosecutors to ignore their responsibilities and turn the prosecutorial system and the system of criminal justice on its head.
CHASING TRUMP: This mother lost her son to violence in New York City. She blames Bragg's misplaced priorities for her son's death.
NYC MOTHER: I think it is absolutely politically motivated, especially when Alvin Bragg is not prosecuting everyday crime that's happening here in New York City where he is dropping murder and gang assault indictments against two of the people involved in my son's murder. If he would actually do his job and prosecute crime instead of wasting more of our tax dollars and more of the public's time going after Trump, maybe just, maybe things can start to turn around.
