'Abuse of Power': Alvin Bragg Slams Jim Jordan for Subpoena

Rep. Jim Jordan subpoenaed Mark Pomerantz, formerly of the Manhattan DA's office, for testimony regarding his resignation from Bragg's office.

www.rollingstone.com

P. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) is doing his best to undermine Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against the former president. The Trump sycophant issued a subpoena to former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz on Wednesday, demanding testimony regarding his resignation from Bragg’s office.

Pomerantz’s departure from the district attorney’s office was motivated by disagreements over his belief that Bragg was not moving to bring charges against Trump quickly enough. In his letter to Pomerantz, Jordan wrote that “as a special assistant district attorney, you seem, for reasons unrelated to the facts of this particular investigation, to have been searching for any basis on which to bring criminal charges.”

Bragg responded to the subpoena by rebuking Jordan for meddling in a state investigation by a federal lawmaker. “The House GOP continues to attempt to undermine an active investigation and ongoing New York criminal case with an unprecedented campaign of harassment and intimidation,” he wrote. “Repeated efforts to weaken state and local law enforcement actions are an abuse of power and will not deter us from our duty to uphold the law.”

**************************************************************************************

Bragg's reply to Jordan is, (IMO) in point of fact, a warning that Jordan has violated NY state law.

That Jordan, a member of Congress, has attempted to interfere with a NY State investigation is testament to Jordan's incompetence.

The Manhattan District Attorney's office is part of the state-level law enforcement apparatus, and Congress does not have direct legislative oversight over state-level law enforcement. Congress's legislative authority is limited to federal law and federal agencies, while state-level law enforcement agencies are primarily subject to state law and the oversight of state officials.

It's worth noting that Congress does have the power to investigate matters that fall within its jurisdiction, and it can use its investigative powers to gather information about state-level law enforcement activities if there is a federal interest at stake. However, it would be unusual for Congress to conduct an investigation into the activities of a state-level prosecutor absent some connection to federal law or policy. The only possible federal connection is the theory of the enhancement in the Statement Of Facts regarding the federal felony campaign finance violation, but since that theory is not in the charging document, and is merely a theory of predication to enhance a misdemeanor to a felony, and has yet to be finalized, so this is a stretch.

Bragg's response to Jordan's inquiry was just and proper. The House GOP's actions to interfere with an ongoing investigation and criminal case are an abuse of power and will not deter the district attorney's duty to uphold the law. Bragg's statement reminds us of the importance of the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary, which must be respected to maintain the rule of law and public trust in the justice system. That Jordan appears to lack knowledge on such a fundamental point leaves me to the conclusion of his incompetence.

So, Regarding Jordan, I can't find any other just conclusion to draw.

Cheers,
Rumpole.

How has he abused his power? The trial hasn’t even started. You don’t know the depth of the evidence he has, just Trump’s propaganda.

Considering that he had to pull it from a place so far up his ass, I guess you could call that deep.

As always, Jordan is playing to his base exclusively. That's the template.

As for Bragg, he brought this case, it looks thin to me, but it's on him.

Outside of what actually happens in court, everything else is just noise.

You are cheering an America-hating George Soros DA who is going after Trump to fulfill a campaign promise to take Trump down, for the recognition for doing what Democrats, the NSA, CIA, FBI, & DOJ, Obama, Hillary, and Biden have not been able to do in 7 years - 'Get Trump'.

You are attempting to celebrate a local DA for illegally refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena, a corrupt partisan DA who is attempting to sue the Congressional Oversight who - unlike Bragg - have the legal authority and jurisdiction to do what they are doing.

Good grief, you are pathetic.

Alvin Bragg just set a precedent for any state and local jurisdiction to arrest former presidents way after the fact. This will bite Democrats in the ass.

Alvin Bragg just set a precedent for any state and local jurisdiction to arrest former presidents way after the fact. This will bite Democrats in the ass.

Not really. No prosecutor will prosecute unless crimes were committed under there jurisdiction.

so, if Trump did commit crimes in other states, Bragg's maiden voyage prosecution will make it easier for them to do it, given the hardest prosecution of them all, is the maiden voyage prosecution, ie.., one that has never been done before, and on top of that, the former President of the United States, which would take a lot of courage.

No, it's going to bite Republicans in the ass. History is on the side of justices, and indicting Trump is justice long overdue.

[Blaster]

Why is Bragg afraid to testify before congress?

 

[Rumpole]

You fool. Bragg used federal dollars to go after Trump. Jordan has every right to hold Bragg accountable.

The federal contribution is a small percentage of the DA's budget.

Moreover, your premise is false. That contribution doesn't dissolve state sovereignty.

All congress can do is hold a 'field hearing' to determine if constitutional rights were denied.

And that is what Jordan is doing.

But, Bragg's lawsuit will stop him.
