It’s a dog and pony show.
“not that i dont think bragg is a political hack but how is this in congress’s wheelhouse?”
Ah....I noticed something in the statement. Went something like “All communications between your office and those of Federal Government funded agencies, including SDNY, and potential Federal Funding and assistance you received....”
All of these Federal Agencies have failed, so they went around Federal norms and tried to resurrect the (zombie) case in Manhattan court, but Federally assisted. Congress has a right to intervene wherein Federal Money has been spent for things it should not have been spent for. Since the Manhattan DA accepted that assistance, probably improperly. That means he took Federal Assistance, potentially financially and manpower, which is probably inappropriate and potentially illegal in this setting, when it’s a political based attack.
They just put him on notice, not that he could be investigated, but that he has been ‘used’ inappropriately and may have violated his legal boundaries. The emails, if Federal money are involved, are certainly under the privy of Congress. I hope for the prosecutor and his office, they aren’t damaging..... but I think it will not be good.
Because he is trying to influence an election that affects the executive branch of the federal government.
If they can investigate steroids in baseball, they can investigate a DA who is abusing his power by politically going after a former President and current front runner in the race for the next presidency.
Yes, it's called interfering in a Federal Election.
