Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) for the first time on Thursday addressed a claim by former President Trump that he would be arrested in connection to an investigation into a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, calling it the creation of a “false expectation.”
Bragg, in response to demands by House Republicans to force his testimony and turn over all documents and communication on the case, wrote in a letter to Congress that such a move was an “unprecendent[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.

It’s certainly not unprecedented, they do it to Republicans all the time

Bragg is the one who convened the grand jury with the goal of indicting Trump.

Ridicule obviously doesn’t bother me, because I’m a man of principles, and morals, which are often ridiculed. It didn’t use to happen here, as this site originally rose to prominence combatting Bill Clinton and his horrible morals, but that has changed now with Trump. Seems anything goes, so long as it somehow supports the man.I'd like to take a gander at your morals. From what I see in your postings you don't have as many principles as you portray. Now you are equating Trump to Clinton. Is being despicable an honored principle of yours? You have that in spades.
To: Golden Eagle
Sounds like you would have loved Jimmy Carter.

The most poorly-executed attack against President Trump since the Mar-a-Lago 'raid', which promptly wrong-footed The White Hospice. No, wait, it's the crackhead Georgia jury forewoman! No, wait, it's "Mumbles" Mueller Time!
Jesus, what a shitshow the Democrats consistently wish into existence.

Bragg is such an imbecile. He should listen to Nation Of Islam and cut out the pork chops.
Trump was smart to mount a PR campaign on this indictment. Very smart! He is getting mucho campaign donations, plus Bragg may quit this prosecution, due to coming off as a bumbling, bloated, buffoon.

The whole scenario of the DemocRATS going after Trump, reminds me of the very funny cartoon The Road Runner. They do all they can to nail him but he always turns the tables on them. Go Trump!

"I think Bragg needs to comply with Congress as the DOJ and the Manhattan DA colluded. We need to know."That is exactly what took the starch out of Boogums -- Congressional subpoena power. Susan Rice on speed dial. Texts with Obama and The White Hospice.
Rudy is still a badass mofo on home turf.

I was around for Jimmy Carter, and he was a horrible President.
I assume you are inferring that just because Carter may have appeared to be a moral man, it’s impossible for us to ever have a moral and effective President.
I’d consider that inference wrong on many levels. If you want to clarify what you meant further, I will be happy to further explain, if necessary. Thanks.

On the early network local news broadcast it took them 33 minutes before there was a mention of this, but tempered that short segment with a teaser about yet another investigation (oh dear....). Everybody is leading with the TikTok battle in DC, shoving the grand jury debacle off to the back burner. Cue the Monty Python knights "Run away! Run awaaaay!"

This was so disruptive that Bragg probably missed second breakfast at some point this week.
