Former US Attorney and special prosecutor for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office Mark Pomerantz has rocked the nation with was expected to be an earth-shattering tell-all book, covering his time with the Manhattan DA’s office during their investigation into the scandal-ridden former president, before he resigned from his position in protest over District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s alleged inaction in the case — and it has exceeded all expectation.
The tell-all was expected to be such a bombshell, in fact, that we recently reported on the fact that certain individuals out there really don’t want you reading it at all.
Pomerantz rose to infamy last year when he publicly resigned from his high-ranking position with the Manhattan DA, accusing the district attorney’s office of failing to aggressively pursue the investigation into scandal-ridden former President Trump’s alleged wide-reaching financial crimes, despite what he says was a resounding amount of evidence that could nail the former guy to the wall. The former prosecutor has since gone on public record to state that he believes ex-President Donald Trump is “guilty of numerous felonies. According to experts and sources, Pomerantz’s upcoming book reveals that he even pursued racketeering charges against the former commander-in-chief.
Recently, CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker sat down for a one-on-one interview with Mark Pomerantz, in which the two discussed the wide range of fraud claims the former prosecutor lodges against the ex-president in his upcoming book. The New York Times summed these up in a recent piece:
Donald J. Trump grew his business, fortune and fame ‘through a pattern of criminal activity,’ according to a new book by a veteran prosecutor, who reveals that the Manhattan district attorney’s office once considered charging the former president with racketeering, a law often used against the Mafia.
The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, resigned in protest early last year after the newly elected district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, decided not to seek an indictment of Mr. Trump at that time. By then, the inquiry was more narrowly focused on whether the former president had fraudulently inflated the value of his assets to secure loans.
But for months beforehand, Mr. Pomerantz had mapped out a wide-ranging possible case against the former president under the state racketeering law, according to the soon-to-be published book, ‘People vs. Donald Trump.’ That broader approach was based on the theory that Mr. Trump had presided over a corrupt business empire for years, a previously unreported aspect of the long-running inquiry.”

CBS News also released a portion of the transcript from Pomerantz’s 60 Minutes interview:
Mark Pomerantz: If you take the exact same conduct– and make it not about Donald Trump and not about a former president of the United States, would the case have been indicted? It would have been indicted in a flat second.
Bill Whitaker: You said in your resignation letter that– Bragg’s decision amounted to– a grave failure of justice.
Mark Pomerantz: Yes.
Bill Whitaker: You still believe that?
Mark Pomerantz: I still believe it.
Bill Whitaker: But don’t prosecutors often disagree with decisions made by their bosses? I mean, what– what makes this different?
Mark Pomerantz: given all the evidence that we had — nobody said, ‘Hey, the guy’s not guilty.'”
To say that Donald Trump handled this terribly would be the understatement of the year — Though, frankly, I will say that he certainly handled it in the exact way we’ve come to expect from him.
The public mental breakdown that ensued from the former president following the 60 Minutes sitdown was one for the ages.
Taking to his struggling Truth Social platform, the former president engaged in what was essentially a highly public mental breakdown:
The 60 Minutes ‘hit job’ doesn’t say that the Financial Statements have a powerful & complete ‘Disclaimer Clause,’ that the properties & assets are generally worth far more today than they were in the financial statement, that the most valuable asset is not even listed in the statement, that lawyer Mark Pomerantz & his law firm were Clinton’s lawyers who then went to work for the D.A. to ‘get Trump,’ that Pomerantz & his antics make it impossible for me to be treated fairly, & NOBODY WAS HURT!”
Eventually, Trump’s mental state devolved to the point of turning his attention to his ages old, favorite enemy, Hilary Clinton, fuming:
Crooked Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, radically deranged Mark Pomerantz, led the fake investigation into me and my business at the Manhattan D.A.’s Office and quit because D.A. Bragg, rightfully, wanted to drop the ‘weak’ and ‘fatally flawed’ case. Now, Pomerantz got himself a book deal, and is obsessively spreading falsehoods about me. With all of this vicious disinformation being revealed by a ‘prosecutor,’ how can I ever be treated fairly in New York, or anywhere else? End the Witch Hunts!”
It’s certainly clear at this point that Donald Trump’s mental state is deteriorating past the point of return.
