A federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump rebuked Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, arguing the Manhattan District Attorney "does not operate outside of the political arena," during a heated hearing.
The Manhattan DA is suing Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary committee, in a federal court, alleging the Republican politician attempted to interfere in his investigation into Trump over alleged payments to Stormy Daniels, which led to the former president's arrest on April 4.
On Wednesday District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected a bid by Bragg's legal team to block the disposition of Mark Pomerantz, formerly the Manhattan DA's deputy. The judge concluded Bragg does not have "a legal basis" to quash the congressional subpoena which was issued for Pomerantz, adding: "Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law."
So there is also now evidence that Bragg did use federal funding in his investigations of both the Trump organization and Trump himself. This allows for some additional scrutiny for Congress to ask questions. Furthermore if analysis of the ruling is to be believed, it looks like Bragg will not have much success with any of his lawsuits against Jordan and Congress.
Note: Appeals put a temporary stay on things late last night, but most everyone (McCarthy, etc) believes that the ruling will stand on merit.
This political hack has a net worth north of $15 million.
Shady as hell.
Don't worry, Bragg won't prosecute you anyway unless you are a white Republican
a rainbow pin will be a get-out-of-jail free card
So Fetterman's monster, not to be confused with Frankenstein's monster ( but I can see how you could), chaired a subcommittee, and it went about as well as one would expect -

Don't laugh. We're probably looking at a future democrat president as we descend into Idiocracy.
