‘Abuse of Power’: Alvin Bragg Slams Jim Jordan for Subpoena

The percentage doesn’t matter. Leftists have been using federal dollars to force their agenda for decades. Schools use federal dollars so no religious anything for an example. Corrupt China *Joe is next.
 
If there is evidence of criminal behavior, hard evidince, indict them.

I don't care who it is. I keep hearing about so - called evidence on Joe Biden, but I've yet to see any.

We could stamp the evidence on your forehead and put you in front of a mirror and you still wouldn’t see it.
 

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.

If anyone wants an example of Chutzpah, Bragg just gave you a shining one.
 
How is it an "abuse of power" for a DA to prosecute a crime?

What's not to loathe?

It's not a "crime", it's a fishing expedition outside his jurisdiction.

A jurisdiction, I might add, that is facing crimes both petty and serious that are destroying the quality of life for law abiding citizens, both those living there, and those who have to commute to work there.

No...the offenses cited are violations of state code...

One supposed violation, chopped into 34 pieces and without any actual underlying crime.

For anyone else this is a civil recordkeeping issue, not a criminal one.

Bragg is a political hack, and you suck his dick while Kamala pegs you from behind.
