It is the opinion of Senator Rand Paul that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should be in jail.
Why?
Because, he says, Bragg's unfair targeting of Donald Trump is nothing but a political witch hunt, and it's illegal.

A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail.
