Trump-allied Reps. Jim Jordan, James Comer, and Bryan Steil are demanding Bragg turn over all information about his investigation and that he testify before Congress posthaste. They don't know what charges Bragg may or may not bring any more than we do, but that didn't stop them from weighing in with a four-page letter speculating on how whatever Trump's crime was, he didn't do it, and it's too late to do anything about it, and How Dare You Sir.
Jordan and his fellow House committee chair-creatures threw four pages of spaghetti against the wall, and by God, at least some of it has to stick, right?
Nope. That part is all clearly performative. What Jim Jordan is really after is what former Rep. Devin Nunes excelled at; House Republicans are demanding Bragg turn over every last document in the case against Trump so that:
1) They can comb through the documents looking for possible Trump defenses without having to worry about whether those defenses would stand up in an actual courtroom.
2) They can determine how best to publicly target witnesses, prosecutors, and others involved with the case, as Jordan and the others publicly targeted named FBI agents and others during Trump's impeachment probe.
3) They can leak documents to Trump that outline as much of the prosecution's case and evidence as possible, allowing Trump's latest teams of mall lawyers an early map of the case.
Ol' Jim Jordan and his fellow sedition-backing Republicans are acting as Trump's moles on this one. Again. Still.
It's an active criminal investigation, with a grand jury and everything, and House Republicans are attempting obstruction of justice from a perch in which, at least in theory, they can claim legal immunity while doing the obstruction.
Looks like more indictments are coming.

House Republicans demand Bragg turn over all documents pertaining to possible Trump indictment
We still don't know what criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg might be preparing against the seditionist Donald Trump, after a long-running investigation of Trump's hush money payment to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential...
