Representative Austin Scott (R-GA) informed Just The News that House Republicans were considering removing prosecutorial immunity if they engaged in misconduct like bringing politicized charges. The Georgian lawmaker remarked that “I think you’re going to have to look at prosecutorial misconduct and whether or not prosecutors in this country should be exempt from liability.” The Republican Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), hinted that his colleagues were looking for ways to hold the Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accountable for his political prosecution of Donald Trump.
Representative Scott suggested that Republicans should build on the move to end qualified immunity from police officers and turn the tables by ending immunity for political prosecutors. He said that “These left-wing, liberal prosecutors and George Soros prosecutors want to take away immunity from police officers, yet they want to maintain it for themselves. I guarantee you if this prosecutor did not have immunity for his actions, he would not have filed this against Donald Trump.”
Mr. Scott added that “maybe we need to be looking at how a prosecutor who abuses his power the way this Manhattan district attorney has done becomes personally liable and potentially criminally chargeable for their actions. And the state of Georgia has actually created a framework where prosecutors who operate outside of their bounds could be reviewed by their peers and potentially removed from office.”

Enough talk do it dammits do it!! Start tomorrow not next week or next month BUT tomorrow.!!!!!!!!!! And then work your way towards Hillary Clinton!
Yes go for it. They actually should have done this a long time ago when Trump was being impeached on false charges.
And OBTW, this so-called “indictment” is basically the same thing as their so-called “impeachment”. Both are nothing more than a formal accusation.
As with the phony impeachment, this phony indictment will go no further and those forwarding this nonsense will probably find themselves before a judge soon enough.
Finally, something that might work.
What teeth, if any would a House resolution have? The Senate would never pass it, and FJB would never sign it. It’s all Republican kabuki theater.
The ‘rats will not play along.
No new federal money for NYC or NYS is possible.
Not a single Rat,House or Senate,would vote for it.And at least a few RINOs would vote against. But it *would* be fun to watch The Big Guy veto it.
oh my! really?
Talk is cheap this Soros stooge has already taken the first shot just do it
Per the DOJ...
“9-11.233 - PRESENTATION OF EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE
In United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735 (1992), the Supreme Court held that the Federal courts’ supervisory powers over the grand jury did not include the power to make a rule allowing the dismissal of an otherwise valid indictment where the prosecutor failed to introduce substantial exculpatory evidence to a grand jury. It is the policy of the Department of Justice, however, that when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence to the grand jury before seeking an indictment against such a person. While a failure to follow the Department’s policy should not result in dismissal of an indictment, appellate courts may refer violations of the policy to the Office of Professional Responsibility for review.
[cited in JM 9-5.001]”
The grand jurors (and other participants) can be subpoenaed and asked to testify before Congress.
Really don’t expect McCarthy and Jordan to anything that would work do we?
More yak yak! Whatever happened to the subpoena for Bragg?
I’m not so sure. Lots of Antifa types would like to see cops/prosecutors gelded with this move.
” House Republicans were CONSIDERING”
Considering. Threatening. Geez, sounds like a bunch of Freepers! /s
They stop thinking about it after voting on the press release languange.
Here’s how that conversation went...
We’re thinking about putting out a press release that says were thinking about taking an “unprecedented” action to remove Bragg immunity.
Can we do that?
Well yes I think so AND “unprecedented” focus groups well.
Okay.
Florida allows every wrong done to a person subject to its nexus to be righted by lawsuit I believe.
