Bragg's shameless tactic will succeed at its primary purpose: to wave a red flag at the MAGA bull. This will ensure Trump is the Republican nominee and Biden wins by a landslide in November 2024.
Where is all the voracious defense of those prosecuted for other victimless crimes, like marijuana possession? Jails and prisons are full of "inconsequential" Black, Hispanic, and poor White people who did nothing to harm anyone...including themselves. All this blather about "political prosecution"; the reality is that it is politics the coerces prosecutors to NOT "go after" high profile criminals who happen to be politicians, or bankers, for instance. Nobody has a problem with Al Capone going to jail on "accounting errors" because we all know he did so much worse. I don't think this is much different.
there's not one person in jail for doing drugs. Stop making crap up. They have plead down to something small but they were either selling drugs or some kind of violence

Sure, Bragg might have stretched the legal system a bit. But, come on, we need to think outside the box if we are going to stop Trump.
Here's some "made up crap"... with footnotes:
