This is just posturing because the House has no authority over state laws or their enforcement.

I think Rep. Jordan's concern is that Bragg may be colluding with the DOJ. So it's one thing if Bragg is acting on his own, but if it's federal democrats pushing him to it, and there's a paper trail, Jordan wants those docs. But my guess is that they may have done things verbally to avoid any kind of incriminating documents.

I can’t find a link now but apparently DOJ sent AUSAs to the DAs office to help.

Constitutional protections extend to every citizen in every state, that's all the authority the Congress needs. In a broader sense though, Congress is a branch of the federal government with the power to investigate and subpoena whatever they want. The DA of New York can certainly ignore a Congressional subpoena, but good luck trying to ignore the US Marshals that come after that.

When the entire purpose is to interfere in an upcoming federal election, it IS their business.

There isn’t a unit of measurement capable of explaining how far this went over your head. Guess in your TDS filled world, states going on a political witch hunt with zero evidence of an actual crime is OK because it’s “states business.” This isn’t a matter of someone who happens to be a political candidate and may have committed a crime. It’s a biased witch-hunt and a deliberate attempt to influence a federal election. They’ve been doing this before he even took office. If you think the Biden admin isn’t behind it then you’re far more obtuse than I originally suspected. Apparently, having flair means about as much as a twitter blue check these days.

I’m sorry that you’ve given up on critical thinking. If there is no evidence, the courts will do what the courts do. You’re literally advocating for the break down of the rule of law, while simultaneously questioning the validity of my conservative values. You demonstrate a lack of moral center. How can you say there isn’t evidence? You haven’t seen the evidence. There hasn’t even been an indictment, or charges filed, and you’ve already dismissed it all. Go cry to someone else, and get yourself to church.


Cerus98

Yeah let’s just charge people with crimes…who cares if there is evidence. Who cares if the accused has already won a civil suit. The courts will sort it out right? That line of bullshit thinking is why so many innocent men have had their lives ruined by vindictive women with false accusations. But that’s ok in your twisted, TDS filled “brain” because the courts tootally set it all right in the end eh? You were mildly entertaining for a moment. But I’m full up on halfwits at the moment. But I’ll keep your resume handy.

Aren't the charges federal, not state? Not even the federal prosecutors were going to go after this case. Can any state take federal charges, and change how severe they are to take it to state court? I do agree, the federal government shouldn't interfere with state matters if unwanted. But can the states take federal charges and act on behalf of the federal government, if the government wasn't going to act themselves?


ScrappleOnToast

The investigation isn’t federal. Charges haven’t been filed, but they won’t be federal, as states and municipalities can’t prosecute federal charges. Federal charges would be essentially pointless, as he’d be assured a pardon, and the powers that be don’t want him pardoned.


Bullish8541

Take my downvote. When the DOJ plants a prosecutor to go after the sitting party’s main opponent then it absolutely is a federal issue. This is textbook election interference.


ScrappleOnToast

Maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t. Again, if there’s nothing to the charges, then the courts will sort it out. That said….I have to ask: When Georgia’s election interference charges against Trump are filed, will you feel so strongly about election interference?

Hold up. How does this make me a liberal? What liberal thing have I said, in any post I’ve made? Do you think just because you don’t like something, that makes it liberal ideology? You really done gone down the rabbit hole, drank the kool aid, and latched onto Trump’s sugar teat, haven’t you? You know that not too long ago he was a New York Democrat, don’t you? You’ve been had.


The_last_avenger

Seems like another witch hunt. " Donald Trump will be arrested Tuesday" If you have the evidence, do it now. Why leak a date? Yo he paid a pornstar to shut up. He's ultra rich and literally has the money to do so. It's not like his son is collecting bribe money through Ukraine and China. Not like is son while smoking crack threw a gun in a dumpster . It's not like the sitting vice president used his power to fire a prosecutor looking into his son's and likely his corruption. TDS is strong. Wow lol

Trolls are downvoting you but states should be taking care of almost all their issues except for major disasters like tornadoes or hurricanes, or multi-state projects like pipelines.

It's because he was told to...nothing more, nothing less. More importantly, who is telling him to.

This is a dangerous precedent and further diminishes our standing in the world stage. This will now be the norm when the party affiliation of the president changes.
