“It’s time to restore the rule of law,” according to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced that he will be suing the State of the New York over its prosecution of former president Donald Trump.
AG Bailey made the announcement in a post on Twitter on Friday.
“I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump.
“It’s time to restore the rule of law.”
In a follow-up post, Bailey labelled New York DA Alvin Bragg a “rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail.”
Bailed added that the prosecution “sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election.”
“It’s time to prosecute the prosecutors.”

In an appearance on Fox, in which he discussed the decision to sue at greater length, Bailey said, “He [Bragg] is self-interested in this case because President Trump is a political opponent of the people Alvin Bragg is backing.”
Bailey also noted that Bragg’s prosecution of Trump is just the latest attack in a long campaign of lawfare that stretches right back to the moment Trump was elected in 2016.
