Manhattan DA Bragg sues Republican Jim Jordan

[rightwinger]

The costs of the witch-hunt against Trump by the DA are borne by taxpayers on both sides as well. The estimated costs for indicting Trump are already over $100 million to the city.

$100 million?
I guess that $5000 in federal funds really came in handy

 

[Rumpole]

So what? That’s federal funds, putting Bragg under federal jurisdiction and oversight. Oops.

Doesn't dissolve NY State sovereignty.

The only circumstance warranting congressional intervention is if there are constitutional rights being infringed.
So, the best Jordan can do is conduct a 'field hearing'.

But, the Bragg suit will quash it, most likely.

Oops.

Are you in the psychic declassification camp? And if Biden broke the law, charge him too. Since a couple years before Obama got elected I have heard thousands of things the Republicans know and finally had the smoking gun...yet nothing ever happened. I have actually heard Hillary's name going around again and I do think she should have lost her security clearance, still nuthin. Just like the voter fraud fantasy. It just goes on and on.

Are YOU in the Leftist Cult Camp? Biden took classified docs home from the SCIF, and instead you’re fixated on a legal NDA Trump mase with a bimbo.

Biden has damaged this country to a degree I never would have imagined! France is forming an alliance with our #1 enemy (which, coincidently, has enriched the Biden family) as our nation is viewed as weak and led by a demented man who can’t complete a sentence.

We are being invaded by foreigners on the southern border. We now have a political prosecution against the primary opponent of the Marxist-infilitrated Biden Regime. We are taking young children to drag shows and telling little kids to pick their gender. We are letting men compete on the girls’ teams and then flaunt their male genitalia in the locker room. Inflation is causing hardships to most Americans, and Biden wants to spend even more money.

And the big focus is on how Trump put the NDA payment for Ms. Bimbo on the line for legal expenses.

Manhattan's top prosecutor sues to stop Republican 'intimidation' in Trump case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday sued Republican U.S. Representative Jim Jordan to stop what Bragg called a "campaign of intimidation" against the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump in New York.

This guy Bragg thinks he's a little dictator over in NY doesn't he? I can't wait til he's behind bars and fired!

It was to be expected.Like the Leaks we are now trying to take to
task.Leaks were instrumental in taking Trump to task,conversely.
Just use the Scumbag Newspapers of Record { take yer pick |
Either the new York Times { slimes } or The WAshington Post .
They played games with News.Using anonymous sources to drive
news Headlines.News cannot be made by using exclusively " anonymous "
sourcing.That is why the Mainstream media has destroyed Journalism.
Plus using those in the Deep State { FBI,Justice Dept and CIA }
with leakers.Unnamed of course.
Bragg is just doing what those like Lawrence O'Donnell and
corrupt Prosecutors like Andrew Weissmann { Lead Muller Special
Counsel weasel } do in order to Try and act Tough while ceremoniously
faking indignation.
That may have passed muster in Trump's first or 2nd year in office.
But by the final year it was doggone Over the Top WRONG.
And Americans could now smell the corruption.Like with
Experts lying about Covid.

And skip right over how taxpayers in New York are paying $100 million to “get” Trump over an expired misdemeanor.

Another thing you guys "know" but are just too impotent to do anything about. If Biden broke the law, impeach him, charge him or whatever is appropriate. Otherwise just babble on in the bowels of the RWNM about all this stuff you guys know about, but do nothing. It gets old after so many years. Now scream BENGHAZI and run out of the room with your hair on fire. At least present real evidence of something, sometime and do something about it or shut up about it.

Oops.

Sorry Charlie { Starkist Commercial } but Jim Jordan has explained it
throughly.Bragg used Federal Funds to pull his Indictment.
That gave House Judiciary Chairman Jordan ... exclusive right
to investigate.That is what the Congressional House does.
Or dint yer high school teachers explain dat.

Constitutional rights ARE being infringed. Bragg is working to reduce felony charges of dangerous violent criminals to misdemeanors while scheming to attempt an heretofore untried path to raise an expired misdemeanor to a felony on the Dems’ political opponent.

Why can’t voters be allowed to decide if we want a pro-American as our next leader or to continue the destruction of the country with the demented man folding to the Communists?

 

[basquebromance]

so far Jordan seem unable to manufacture a political hit for a new era. Clearly something about the GOP or the larger political context has changed. After all, it’s not as if all the scandalmonger jobs were exported to China (although Russia did gain market share in 2016). Even Fox News, a vital partner in the scandal-industrial complex, has expressed disappointment with the new product line.

 

[basquebromance]

I think the House Republicans have put on such a clown show that the credibility of a traditional Congressional hearing has been woefully devalued and diluted

Brand counts. Plus, the Jan. 6 hearings set a high bar for the optics of doing it correctly, and these jokers just cannot compete

We don’t have evidence that Biden had classified docs dating to his Senate days in his houses, his garage, his office?

We are fighting the Dems who are protecting him.

The Jan 6 hearings were done correctly? It was a one-sided witch-hunt in which the defense could not present the other side.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Bragg has just raised the stakes and is holding Jordan responsible for his petty games.

Jordan was repeatedly warned

stand off? Can the one sue successfully or the other subpoena successfully?

IF Biden and Pence committed a crime, charge them too. Why can't you guys understand that? No matter which party, a crime is a crime.

 

[Faun]

LOL

You moron, it was an investigation, not a trial. There was no defense. At the same time, Trump and his allies could have participated and presented their side of the story, had they wanted to. They chose not to do so.

Yea, I thought Carlson was going to prove the riots did not happen, it was just a normal tourist day, Jewish space lazers, voting machines controlled by dead socialist, and well I forget them all, but so many things Trumpsters "know" but yet do nothing beyond talk and indoctrination.

 

[rightwinger]

I don’t see Bragg suing for monetary damages but getting an injunction against Jordan to stop his harassment and interference

 

[Rust_Cohle]

"Counter suing" does exist.

Yes that's not the issue. Counter suing for what he suggests is what I'm hung up on

 

[basquebromance]

Bragg—in response to a week of Republican attacks claiming that he was ignoring “real crime” because he was too distracted prosecuting Trump—highlighted new NYPD crime data showing that during his first year in office, murders are down 14 percent, shootings are down 17 percent, burglaries are down 21 percent, and robberies are down 8 percent.

Then, like a skilled politician, Bragg pointed out that New York’s murder rate of 5.2 percent was among the lowest among major cities in the country, “nearly three times lower than that of Columbus, Ohio,” which sits just outside Jordan’s own district.

 

[basquebromance]

To push the narrative that Bragg should be prosecuting crimes other than those committed by Donald Trump, Jordan said that his committee will hear in New York “from ‘victims’ of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s policies.”

In other words, “Let’s exploit a few victims of crime for political gain.” America, prepare for Jordan’s shameless partisan attacks on the discretion that all prosecutors deploy in deciding which crimes they can prove and which they can’t.

We don’t yet know the circumstances of these victims, but any former prosecutor can safely say this much: There are boatloads of cases where the cops can’t find the perpetrator, or where the witnesses or the documents just aren’t there to make a winnable case.

Expect capable Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee—like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both former prosecutors—to support the victims while emphasizing the standard that prosecutors use before indicting: full confidence that they have proof beyond a reasonable doubt so that they can obtain a guilty verdict.

Schiff, Swalwell, and others can make these points: In some cases, you just don’t have that confidence, and you can’t proceed. But in bringing the case of People of the State of New York v. Trump, Bragg obviously did.
