DOJ Official Hidden Video Exposes Bragg and James

Last week, one of the biggest stories of the news cycle was undercover video of Southern District of New York's Chief of Public Affairs, Nicholas Biase.

Biase was caught running his mouth about the legal cases brought against Donald Trump in New York.

Not so shockingly, even though he admitted the cases were fabricated against Trump, most mainstream media outlets ignored the story.

Just Kidding

You just have to love the excuses of these people when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Biase was filmed at a local bar talking to a woman whom he clearly did not realize was an undercover journalist.

He absolutely trashed the case brought by Bragg, calling it a “perversion of justice.”

He added, “He wants to be, something … a mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County.

“Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was? You do now.”

He later stated, “This guy is probably going to try to lock him [Trump] up. And there is going to be, it’s going to be ugly….”

Biase continued, “They are so obsessed with getting him [Trump].”

Now, however, he says he was just trying to impress the woman.

When he was approached about the now-viral footage, he stated that he was just trying to “impress” someone that he had just met at a bar that night.

Biase also took a few shots at New York Attorney General Letitia James, stating, “At the federal level, where I work, there is a 90-day rule where you can’t make any decisions on cases that are going to affect an election [within 90 days of an election].

“That rule does not apply at the state level because the state level is like the f–king Wild West … They are like idiots. They don’t care. They’re all political.”

In trying to walk back his comments, Biase stated, “I was recently made aware of a video where I regretfully made some statements in a private and social setting that don’t reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions.

“I said these things in an effort to please and impress someone I just met, who was secretly filming me.

“I’m deeply sorry to the local and state law enforcement officials working on these matters, who deserve more respect than I showed them.  I should have known better.”

First, I would expect that Biase will soon be out of a job for having run his mouth like that out of the office.

Second, if he did not really feel that way, he never would have said that stuff in the first place, so I don’t buy his lame apology after the fact.

If I were Trump, that video would be front and center of my appeal and Biase would be getting called as a witness.
