New York DA Office Responds to Demands for Information About Trump Arrest (Bragg says NO to the House Committee)

The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Monday issued a response to House Republicans’ demands to have District Attorney Alvin Bragg testify amid reports that former President Donald Trump will be indicted soon.

“We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process,” a spokesperson for Bragg told news outlets in the first public response to inquiries linked to the Trump investigation. “Many false claims have been lobbed out, so let’s set the record straight. New York remains one of the safest big cities in the US.”

Republicans, Trump, and some legal scholars have said that Bragg’s pursuit of what they have called left-wing policies have led to a surge in violent crime in New York City and have questioned why the DA is targeting Trump over an incident that occurred in 2016 while crime remains relatively high in the city. Law enforcement groups have said the DA’s office’s policies have led to the release of repeat offenders who instead should be jailed, leading to more criminal activity.

The New York City Police Department’s data shows that overall crime in New York City was up 22 percent in 2022 over 2021. The city saw 433 murders last year, which is an 11 percent drop year-over-year, but that’s still far higher than previous years. For example, police data shows that New York City 295 murders and 318 murders in 2018 and 2019, respectively. There were 462 murders in 2020.

Late last week, a court source told news outlets that Trump could be indicted this week, while the former president later wrote on Truth Social that he believes an indictment will be handed down on Tuesday. He called for his supporters to protest the arrest, while reports say that Bragg is looking to charge Trump for misclassifying alleged hush payments he made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.

False claims like the second sentence. Liars.

Democrats and George Soros backed DA’s don’t have to answer to Congress. However, if you’re a republican you go to jail for refusing.

That equal justice thing that Bragg is talking about is complex……

He’s not going to show up because he’ll get publicly clobbered with irrefutable and damning crimes statistics.

“Democrats and George Soros backed DA’s don’t have to answer to Congress. However, if you’re a republican you go to jail for refusing.”

If you support the Constitution, as written, the 10th Amendment applies. Congress should not be involved in a local or state level judicial investigation. The written Constitution gives Congress no enumerated authority over local judicial proceedings.

DA’s at the local level may be “Soros backed” or “unfair” but redress for inappropriate actions lies with the local voters, local and state laws, and the state legislator.

The written Constitution gives Congress no enumerated authority over local judicial proceedings.

It also does not give to a local judiciary authority to bring charges in federal matters. They want to have it both ways.

“redress for inappropriate actions”

makes it sound as if Bragg was observed using his salad fork for the entree at the Met Gala

Goodbye, my beautiful America. It was great to have known you. When a DA refuses to go before Congress or fork over the information you can tell our law is in the crapper! We are now experiencing what is called the law of the jungle. Every man for themselves. The cabal, the DOJ, the FBI ,liberal satanic lawyers, etc. etc. that dwell in DC and in blue states around this nation are the new overseer of power. They have become the NEW made up communist Constitution according to their evil plans. They are our prosecutors, persecutors, our judges and our modern day Adolf Hitlers. We are increasingly becoming their subjects… next come the concentration camps. They will use the constitution to wipe their asses and deny us a fair playing field. Conservatives are royally screwed. Come quickly, Lord Jesus come quickly!

That makes two of us. Politicians are the greatest domestic terrorist threat to the Republic.
