The House Judiciary Committee released a report detailing how DA Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan violated the Constitutional and legal rights of President Trump. In a bombshell release, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan, revealed a detailed analysis report titled “Lawfare: How the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a New York State Judge Violated the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump.”
This is an initial report and not the final assessment of how the law was thrown out the window in an effort to convict Trump of non-crimes. This came from an investigation by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which exposed the egregious violations of President Trump’s rights by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan.
The charges consist of the accusation that Trump falsified records to conceal that New York business records were falsified to conceal federal crimes related to payments made by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to former porn star Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels. There were no illegal actions taken by Trump. He did not use campaign funds, nor did he deduct the money from his taxes. Judge Merchan, whose daughter made millions from the prosecution of Trump, violated both the Constitution and state and federal rights.
According to the press release:
- Bragg’s unconstitutional and unprecedented Russian-nesting-doll theory of criminal liability, in which the jury never had to reach unanimity as to each element of the criminal offenses; and
- Bragg’s usurpation of the federal government’s exclusive authority to prosecute alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws and the Biden-Harris Administration’s refusal to intercede to protect federal interests.
- Judge Merchan’s failure to recuse himself for manifest political bias against President Trump;
- The unconstitutional gag order he imposed on President Trump during the trial;
- Judge Merchan’s admission of plainly inadmissible, irrelevant, and unfairly prejudicial testimony against President Trump; and
- Judge Merchan’s refusal to permit former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley Smith to testify as to the meaning and complexities of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
Every person admitted to practice law in New York, including elected district attorneys and appointed judges, must take a “constitutional oath of office,” swearing or affirming to “support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the State of New York.” By taking that oath, District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan were legally “bound to a constitutional course of conduct.” In their politicized efforts to indict and convict President Trump, they failed their oaths of office.
Given that President Trump’s indictment was conceived as legal and constitutional error and the trial exacerbated and compounded those errors, an honest review of the facts and the law will likely lead appellate courts to vacate the conviction and dismiss the indictment with prejudice. This will go a long way in restoring the American people’s trust and confidence in our justice system, although more work is ahead. In the meantime, the Committee and Select Subcommittee will continue our oversight of lawfare and its effect on the rule of law in the United States.
