Manhattan DA Memo: We 'Apply Law Evenly, Fairly'

Hours after former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik tweeted warnings about "chaos" in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, there were reports Bragg issued a memo to his office staff.

While the "chaos" Kerik reported was internal disapproval of Bragg, the D.A. suggested calls to protest would be a threat to that staff.

"Please know that your safety is our top priority," Bragg wrote to staff, according to independent journalist Breanna Morello. "We have full confidence in our outstanding security staff and investigators, along with our great OCA and NYPD colleagues, and will continue to coordinate with all of them. We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York.

"Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office will be fully investigated and that the proper safeguards are in place so all 1,600 of us have a secure work environment.

"This office is full of the finest public servants in the country. I am committed to maintaining a safe work environment where everyone is able to continue to serve the public with the same diligence and professionalism that make this institution so renowned."

Kerik's report, which he shared on Newsmax's "The Count," had staff concerned about the overreach of Bragg in "targeting President Trump, persecuting him, for nonsense," Kerik told host Lidia Curanaj.

"He's taking what is a proposed supposed misdemeanor and trying to enhance it into a felony to charge former president," Kerik told host Lidia Curanaj. "It's completely absurd, and I think the cops and the investigators that work for the Manhattan D.A.'s office, they're outraged."

But, Bragg was inclined to stress to staff he is prosecuting crime "evenly and fairly."

"In the meantime, as with all of our investigations, we will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly, and speak publicly only when appropriate," Bragg's memo added, according to Morello.

But both Kerik and Morello reported that statement does not square with Bragg's own words and actions.

First, Bragg issued a Day 1 Memo to staff — and a fact sheet to the public — seeking to reduce prosecution of criminals.

Under "key points" of his memo, seeking to keep criminals out of jail, reducing criminal prosecution and "reserving this tool only for those who commit truly violent acts."

"Not prosecuting minor offenses that have no impact on public safety," the memo read. "This will not only make us safer by not further destabilizing their lives, it will also free up prosecutorial resources to focus on violent crime."

It would appear the potential charge against Trump would be a misdemeanor that has "no impact on public safety."

But staff are concerned there was a politically motivated effort to use Manhattan D.A.'s office resources to fulfill a George Soros-funded campaign promise to find something to charge with, according to Kerik.

Kerik also warned police and investigators in the office they should not be breaking the law to enforce laws, leading to speculation that his tweet led to Bragg's Saturday night memo to staff.

"Last year Bragg reduced 52% of all felony charges to misdemeanor," Morello reported in her exclusive. "He even targeted a bodega employee who was forced to use deadly force after being assaulted by a thug. Bragg later dropped the charges against the bodega employee after he realized a jury would never side with his office."
