Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) called demands from House GOP leaders to force his testimony an “unlawful incursion” on his ongoing probe into former President Trump’s role in a hush money scandal.
The Thursday response from Bragg comes as lawmakers, led by House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), demanded the DA turn over all documents and communications about the case.
The move “is an unprecedent[ed] inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” Bragg wrote.
“Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry.”
DEVELOPING
He does remind me of Michael Byrd.
Issue the subpoena.

Yep, this situation begs for one but doubt the GOP will do anything other than whine and posture like they always do.
“..Bragg, how was it a false expectation when you had idiots dragging out barriers in front of the courthouse?..” IKR, it was all over the news. So what happened?
If Vance couldn’t find enough to endite Trump, this one isn’t going to find enough regardless of how convoluted he makes it.
The move “is an unprecedent[ed] inquiry into a pending local prosecution.

Yet Bragg’s local prosecution is stepping into a national election. He himself opened the door to congressional scrutiny.
Interestingly, the same small handful of counties that “elected” the JoeTatoe in 2020, and blocked investigation into the “voting” with their local Democrat “judges” [an abuse of the legal system] are now once again abusing the legal system by prosecuting their political opponents...
It’s also unprecidented to try to turn a misdemeanor into a felony, Scumbag.
“example of a Affirmative Action student “
BINGO!
Ten bucks says that if he’s compelled to appear he won’t. He knows that The Big Guy’s Department of Just Us has his back.
“Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) called demands from House GOP leaders to force his testimony an “unlawful incursion” on his ongoing probe into former President Trump’s role in a hush money scandal.”
Collaborating with the DOJ on indicting Trump does call for a congressional investigation. And I am sure Bragg will be asked who he coordinated with in the DOJ which will result in a “I take the 5th” answer.
McCarthy needs to reopen and staff the House jail. There used to be one and no DOJ action was needed to use it. Now that Nancy spread Capital cops across the country we should at least appear ready to use them. Otherwise they know we’re only bluffing.
FTFY
Anyone who takes a million for his campaign from Soros is bent to the left but then you knew that.
Yep. He’s evil alright. I just hadn’t seen evidence yet of his being incompetent.
