Nah. A realist.
Some snippetts:Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”
“Honestly, I think the case is nonsense,” Biase was filmed saying to an unidentified woman on July 31 at what appears to be a bar.
Biase — who said he’d known Bragg for 15 years and previously worked with him at SDNY — described the
unprecedented hush money case against Trump as a “perversion of justice” in the footage.
He also claimed the headline-grabbing prosecutor pursued the case to make a name for himself and run for higher office.
“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 said in the clip.3
An apologetic Biase told The Post in a statement Thursday that he made the remarks in a private setting with someone he’d “just met” and was trying to “impress.”At one point in the video, Biase accused Bragg of “stacking charges [against Trump] and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”
Later, Biase appeared to refer to Trump’s separate
civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James, in which the ex-president was found guilty of inflating the value of his assets to get bank loans.
“Every real estate person in New York does what he [Trump] did. Nobody’s ever been charged with this … You know, it’s a perversion of justice,” he was filmed saying.
Biase also railed against state-level justice systems as a whole, describing it as “the Wild West.”

No need to post his excuse that he was trying to impress someone. I don't buy that.
