“…The reality is that, as framed, this action is merely a motion to quash a subpoena dressed up as a lawsuit.”
…“In our federalist system, elected state and federal actors sometimes engage in political dogfights. Bragg complains of political interference in the local DANY (District attorney of New York) case, but Bragg does not operate outside of the political arena. Bragg is presumptively acting in good faith. That said, he is an elected prosecutor in New York County with constituents, some of whom wish to see Bragg wield the force of law against the former President and a current candidate for the Republican presidential nomination,” Vyskocil wrote.
“Jordan, in turn, has initiated a political response to what he and some of his constituents view as a manifest abuse of power and nakedly political prosecution, funded (in part) with federal money, that has the potential to interfere with the exercise of presidential duties and with an upcoming federal election,” the judge added.
Vyskocil reinforced her point in court that it is not her place to consider potential motivations of either side.
“The Court is further unmoved by Bragg’s purported concern at the prospect of ‘inject[ing] partisan passions’ into a forum where they do not belong,” Vyskocil said.
“By bringing this action, Bragg is engaging in precisely the type of political theater he claims to fear.”

Republicans should be familiar with this kind of thing, as Trump gets cases dismissed for similar reasons on an almost weekly basis.LOL
Judge Vyskocil stomps the 35 page complaint as just a massive public relations rant against Donald Trump, dismissing it out of hand as a stunt.
Update:
Appeals court temporarily blocks House subpoena for ex-Manhattan prosecutor in Trump probe
The former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz was involved in a criminal investigation of ex-President Donald Trump.
Temporary stay. Litigation outcome will be interesting issue. Likely to end up before SCOTUS I am guessing.
She shows so much prejudice an animosity to the DA that she should have recused herself.
I hope they call him as a witness so the Dems on the committee can ask about his book and how corrupt the Dirty Don Really is........Bring it on.
I see the issue as legitimate.SCOTUS rubber-stamped the Trump tax return subpoenas even though Trump was no longer President.
The set the bar when they did that.
