DA Bragg Goes Into Cover-Up Mode Over House Subpoena - What is DA Bragg trying to hide?
Front Page Magazine ^ | 12 Apr, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

What happens when you investigate the investigators? As we’ve seen with Russiagate, they don’t respond well.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked a federal judge Tuesday to block a House Judiciary Committee subpoena that seeks information on his office’s investigation into former President Donald Trump.

A lawsuit filed in New York federal court seeks to block a congressional subpoena for testimony from Mark Pomerantz, a former special assistant district attorney who participated in the office’s investigation of Trump and his businesses.

Bragg also asks the judge to preemptively block any further subpoenas for him or his employees from the committee helmed by Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, in what the filing calls an “unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the state investigation.

Pomerantz is actually a former employee, currently back at Paul, Weiss, after vocally resigning from the Manhattan DA’s office.

Mark Pomerantz has written an entire book about his work, People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account, and yet somehow can’t be bothered to actually talk about his inside account because it’s too secret.

When you’ve written a book about it, it’s obviously not too secret.

Bragg’s filing claims that the subpoena has “no legitimate legislative purpose”, when Rep. Jordan has already stated that it’s meant to be part of a proceeding determining legislative plans to insulate former presidents from political prosecutions.

That said, even Bragg probably knows that the majority of congressional subpoenas have “no legitimate legislative purpose”. They’re mostly political exercises.

Bragg further claims that going forward “could allow the Committee to seek secret grand jury material, confidential investigative material, and information clearly protected by the attorney-client, work product, deliberative process, law enforcement, informant’s, and public interest privileges.”

Could is very much a hypothetical. The reality is no such information has been requested.

I’m betting there a lot of emails showing that it’s political and that it was coordinated with other Democrats.

African politics pretty much consists of stretchers in Seville Row suits trying to imprisoned and/or kill their opposition. That’s how it’s always been. That’s how it’s always likely to be. The only way to defeat them is to utilize insect politics…

Translation: "I want to be above the law."

When the US AG sends one of his assistants to organize the case there has to be a reason.

That he partnered with the WH and they provided lawyers for him, classic election interference.

What’s he trying to hide? Uh, everything? He’s deliberately sabotaging the legal system in NY. His corruption is in the open, but stupid new yawkers are too stupid to fix the problem.
