Manhattan DA Bragg sues Republican Jim Jordan

[0311]

Bragg is in tell Jordan to go Fuk himself mode

Jimmy is under the impression that Mr. Bragg should be quaking in his boots at the thought Jimmy investigating him, Mr. Bragg on the hand is telling to shove it. Jimmy don't like that.

Also, as I recall Jimmy ignored a Congressional Subpoena when he received one, but then again Jimmy has always been a hypocrite.

That too is a possible outcome. But I suspect that they might hesitate to make such a ruling. Any legitimate federal governmental purpose to conduct a hearing into the possibly political partisan way a local prosecutor chooses to “enforce” a State’s laws certainly bears upon the issue of equal protection of the laws.

Furthermore, the use of federal funds to conduct a local “investigation” is a reasonable factor for all federal courts to consider.

NY State has a court system to take such grievances

A Partisan House of Representatives is not in that chain of control

Alvin Fagg is a leftist parasite.

And also a Soros puppet! Shame on him!

 

[Blaster]

Bragg can feel the noose tightening around his neck.

BWHAAAAAAaa Bragg has no case... The fact that the persecution is political in nature destroys his premise... Braggs abuse of power, trying to use a federal crime where he has no statutory right to do so, is going to sink this fool. GOOD LUCK LEFTITS... You're going to need it... Once this hits SCOTUS its going into the trash bin where it belongs.

Bragg couldn’t even name the underlying crime he’s accusing Trump of in order to even think about bringing this case. He’s going to get chewed up and spit out in court. As usual.

Ah, the legal kerfuffle in the Big Apple, where the New York prosecutor, Bragg, is hot on the heels of former President Trump, accusing a Republican-led committee of meddling in his case. The battling has been rather fierce between Bragg and the House Judiciary Committee since the scent of indictment reached their nostrils.

In a twist worthy of a courtroom drama, the committee has summoned one Mark Pomerantz, an ex-attorney critical of Bragg's tactics. However, Bragg won't stand for it, and has launched a lawsuit to prevent Pomerantz's testimony, claiming that the meddling violates state sovereignty and reeks of politics.

Chairman Jim Jordan retaliates with a tweet, suggesting Trump's indictment is without basis and that Bragg is obstructing their much-needed oversight. As the drama unfolds, a "field hearing" has been scheduled by the House Judiciary Committee just a stone's throw from Bragg's office and the courthouse where Trump's legal fate hangs in the balance.

And so, the story is developing, the plot thickens, now please pass the popcorn.

The New York prosecutor who is pursuing criminal charges against former President Trump says a Republican-led congressional committee is trying to interfere with his case. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges "an unconstitutional attempt to undermine" his investigation.

The House Judiciary Committee and Bragg have been sparring since it became clear that Trump would be indicted. Last week, the committee subpoenaed a former attorney in the DA's office, Mark Pomerantz, who wrote a book that was critical of Bragg's legal judgments.

New York is one of the states that has laws specifically against SLAPP lawsuits. This is not going to work out well for corrupt piece-of-shit Bragg.

With any luck, perhaps this stunt will get him disbarred.

Gee. No kidding. But then again, so does the Federal Legislative branch.

A Partisan House of Representatives is not in that chain of control

It has nothing at all to do with “chain of control,” you hapless nimrod.

"Members of Congress are not free to invade New York's sovereign authority for their or Mr. Trump's political aims," Bragg's office wrote in the lawsuit, accusing Jordan of searching for a pretext for "hauling Mr. Pomerantz to Washington for a retaliatory political circus."

Rubbish. The state has stepped all over Federal jurisdictions on many occassions already. Keep quoting halfwit liars, though, it's fun laughing at your credulous parroting.

 

[DudleySmith]

Bragg is what Trump used to be -- an elected official.

lol so what? NYC is full of dumbasses.

Manhattan DA sues Jim Jordan over Trump indictment inquiry

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued Rep. Jim Jordan on Tuesday, an extraordinary move as he seeks to halt a House Judiciary Committee inquiry that the prosecutor contends is a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” him over his indictment of former President Donald Trump...

Bragg may as well indict the entire GOP at this point, and throw in Clarence Thomas to boot.

In fact, he may as well indict all of their supporters as well.

What the hell.

This asshat can't get enough.

Apparently he believes he is above the law.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Ainchu jus all tough and shit?

His Mom sure thinks so.

 

[Billy_Bob]

Could the D.A get sued by Trump if Trump can prove that similar charges weren't pursued by this D.A against Democrat members?

IF you can prove there is a double standard being invoked, yes you can. That is a tough burden of proof to get too, and Bragg won't give Trump the data to prove it, even though that data is public record.

Congress does not have legitimate legal oversight of local prosecutions

That is why Jordan is being sued
For engaging in Jiggery Pokery

Wrong Again.... Bragg admitted he used federal funds in the funding of the case... Jordan has oversite...

 

[MAGA Macho Man]

Taking government documents home (crime 1) and not returning them (crime 2) but you know that.

That's not a crime! He had every right too. Why? He was the president with authority to declassify them.

So why didn't congress in 2020 call all the DA's who failed to prosecute BLM rioters before congress. I'm sure they took federal funds, so congress should have called them to task. Right?

Who says he couldn't??

He did, did he?

Actually Bragg failed to specify which of the federal vs state election law violations his elevation to felony was based on.

But don't worry. Trumps lawyers only need to request a "bill of particulars" and the D.A. will have to answer which specific crime the felony is based on.
