Political DA Alvin Bragg was smacked down pretty hard by a New York judge Wednesday, telling his office there is no legal mechanism to avoid accountability and testimony before congress.
The DA office took federal funds to prosecute Donald Trump, the DA office is interfering in a federal election, the DA office has openly stated their intentions are politically motivated, and therefore the DA office has no standing to try and avoid federal legislative scrutiny.
As Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil clarified to Bragg’s team, she has no standing to block a legislatively authorized congressional subpoena.
New York – […] “The sole question before the Court at this time is whether Bragg has a legal basis to quash a congressional subpoena that was issued with a valid legislative purpose. He does not,” Vyskocil wrote in her decision Wednesday.
Bragg, a Democrat, has accused Jordan of pursuing the subpoena to score political points while supporting Trump, a Republican. Vyskocil said the dispute appeared political, but said that did not impact her decision.
“In our federalist system, elected state and federal actors sometimes engage in political dogfights,” Vyskocil wrote in her order, noting that Bragg is an elected official. “Bragg complains of political interference in the local DANY case, but Bragg does not operate outside of the political arena.”
“Jordan, in turn, has initiated a political response to what he and some of his constituents view as a manifest abuse of power and nakedly political prosecution, funded (in part) with federal money, that has the potential to interfere with the exercise of presidential duties and with an upcoming federal election,” Vyskocil wrote. “The Court does not endorse either side’s agenda.”
The subpoena to Pomerantz demands his appearance before the Judiciary Committee on Thursday. It is unclear if he will appear. A spokesperson for Bragg said Wednesday, “We respectfully disagree with the District Court’s decision and are seeking a stay pending appeal.”
Vyskocil denied Bragg’s request for a stay Wednesday night. (read more)
“It is unclear if he [Bragg] will appear.”
And that there is a huge part of the ugly rub the left will not address.
Had President Trump NOT shown up for his “sentencing” the lying media and leftists would have screamed bloody murder and accused him of all kinds of illegalities.
If, as quoted above, Bragg does not show up after receiving a Congressional subpoena — just ’cause he doesn’t feel like it — the press and leftists will continue to laugh in the face of “justice for all” and turn the knife in Lady Liberty’s back a little more.
Yes. That is the system. We choose how to play and conduct ourselves knowing the rules.
I could see at a young age as my peers chose the lane they would stay in throughout most of their lives.
I do see the benefit of grouping with Liberal establishment, it just does not seem worth the price.
“…it just does not seem worth the price.”
The fall of our republic is an enormous price to pay. . .
“The fall of our Republic,” that has already fallen. What we are experiencing now is the state between total chaos/anarchy and totalitarianism. I choose chaos; not because I wanted it I assure you. It just beats being a slave. I don’t care who is the President or in power. We are not going back to “the way it was before” without going through one of those two states. If somehow, someway DT back doors them again harsh examples will need to be made if you ever want to get back to a Republic. Most likely we are going to either have a strong leader from the right (I can accept this too) or from the left. Or as I mentioned we can go complete SHTF.
Being led by women and leftist Beta males would do well to remember they have no honor. The trick they have been so successful at is convincing the right to fight with their hands tied. The cuffs will come off some day just hope they loosen before its too late.
Bragg is coloring way outside his lines. Pomerantz doesn’t work for the DA’s office any longer and even wrote a book. Fiction writers can’t even make this stuff up. 😉
Our legal system has been overun and destroyed by amoral people. There will be no remedy from the courts.
Jordan should have subpoenaed Bragg and his top staff. Why didn’t he???
The FBI should be ordered to bring Bragg to the hearing in chains just like what happened to the elderly former attorney of Trump, where he even had client-attorney privilege and he had communicated those statements to the committee. Instead the FBI waited until he was on a plane and then came and removed him from plane.
