(updated and bumped) DA politico Bragg cancels today’s grand jury session amid rumors of dissension in the ranks. Citing the usual “unkown sources”, the NY Post claims that there are doubts that the jury will vote to indict. If that’s true, it’s no wonder Bragg is suddenly gun shy about proceeding, because there couldn’t possibly be a greater embarrassment for a district attorney than his handpicked, spoonfed jurors rejecting his case. “A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich” is a truism known to all, and if Bragg fails at the simplest task in prosecutorial law, he’ll probably have sealed his fate.

Wednesday’s turn of events came as a source with ties to the  Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told The Post that DA Alvin Bragg was concerned following Costello’s testimony.

“The last thing he wants is for the grand jury to vote against him,” the source said. “He wants a no-doubt-about-it case. He is pressuring the ‘Trump obsessed’ to step up and prove the case.”

A source inside Bragg’s office also said a substantial number of assistant district attorneys were “shaking their heads” over Bragg’s decision to pursue Trump, 76.

“They don’t understand how this case is going forward,” the source said. “These ADAs are not fans of Trump but they are professional lawyers and know the law.”

Fox News also reported “major dissension” inside Bragg’s office, with one source saying the “weakness” of the evidence against Trump was posing problems for prosecutors.

A spokesperson for Bragg declined to comment, saying in an email, “We can’t confirm or comment on Grand Jury matters.”
