On the same day it was filed, corrupt Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s urgent plea seeking a restraining order against Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) was denied.
Bragg’s emergency request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Jordan was denied by U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump nominee, at least until a hearing is held.
“The Court declines to enter the proposed Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause,” Vyskocil stated, adding that she has yet to receive numerous documents included in Bragg’s pleadings. In other words, Bragg once again filed something when he wasn’t ready to do so and expected the court to allow him to get away with it.
She ordered Jordan and the other defendants in the case to respond to the motion and set an April 19 hearing date.
Bragg sued Jordan on April 11 for allegedly intruding on state sovereignty. Jordan has subpoenaed a former Bragg subordinate and requested papers from Bragg’s office related to the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, who was indicted by a grand jury after the Democrat district attorney presented accusations to the grand jury.
Jordan “has no power under the Constitution to oversee state and local criminal matters,” according to Bragg’s claim. By all accounts, it appears that Alvin Bragg is interfering in the 2024 election on behalf of the Democratic Party, and Jordan has every right to investigate. Everything the Democrats have thrown at Donald Trump was election interference.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELDidn’t Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) recently demand that the totally corrupt Merrick Garland’s DOJ go after the Tennessee Republicans in the state’s legislature for holding a vote to expel three members who participated in an insurrection? How can the Democratic Party argue that when the situation is to investigate one of their own, they claim it can’t be done, but I didn’t hear any prominent Democrats say the same thing about Schumer’s overreach?
Bragg’s office also requested that the court issue an order prohibiting Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee, which Jordan is the Chairman, from enforcing the subpoena issued to former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz and prohibiting Pomerantz from complying with it.
“The Judiciary Committee’s subpoena to Mr. Pomerantz marks the first time in our nation’s history that Congress has used its compulsory process to interfere with an ongoing state criminal case. The District Attorney is likely to succeed on the merits because the subpoena exceeds Congress’s authority and obstructs New York’s sovereign right to enforce its criminal law,” prosecutors stated in a filing in support of their temporary restraining order petition. Yet Pomerantz no longer works for Bragg.
“The subpoena would also irreparably injure the District Attorney by, among other things, interfering with an ongoing criminal case, compromising grand jury secrecy and the attorney-client privilege, and disrupting his preparation for trial. Finally, the balance of the equities and the public interest favor the District Attorney because the subpoena undercuts federalism principles and the fair administration of justice by injecting politics into a state criminal case.”
I would argue that since the entire state of New York is run by one party, and that party is as corrupt as a Ukrainian oligarch, someone has to look into legislation that will block corrupt state prosecutors from trying to charge someone in the federal system because their target broke no state laws.
The defendants have yet to file any paperwork.
According to Jordan, Bragg is blocking a valid congressional probe.
“They’re obstructing our investigation,” Jordan explained. “We have a constitutional duty to get to the facts, particularly when you have a district attorney interfering with the most important election we have, which is the election of the commander-in-chief; the president of the United States.”
Trump, who served as president until early 2021, is campaigning for re-election in 2024, and just like in 2016 and all the years since, including up to the present, the Democrats have pulled sleazy actions against Trump to keep him from running again.
Bragg has claimed that Jordan and other members of Congress lack the jurisdiction to investigate the Trump investigation; Jordan disagrees, citing how government funds were used to investigate Trump.
“First, they indict a president for no crime. Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it,” Jordan added in a statement. Jordan has a point. If Bragg used federal tax dollars to fund his political persecution of Trump, then the federal government has the right to ask questions.
When you think about it, every hair-brained situation that comes up in the justice system is because some Democrat is trying to abuse the system for political reasons.
Pomerantz stated in his book that he left Bragg’s office because he was disappointed that Bragg was not planning to charge Trump. Pomerantz, like Bragg, knows full well that there was no crime committed. But he, like other crooked prosecutors, wanted to be the one who finally got Trump.
Pomerantz has “no basis to decline to testify” because of the book, according to a letter Jordan wrote accompanying the subpoena to the former prosecutor.
“Based on your unique role as the special assistant district attorney leading the investigation into President Trump’s finances, you are uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary to inform the Committee’s oversight and potential legislative reforms,” he wrote.
Jordan took note of the contents of the book as he questioned the new complaint.
“He takes us to court because we want to talk to someone who left the DA’s office a year ago, who went out and wrote a book on this very subject,” Jordan explained on Fox News.
Pomerantz’s willingness to comply with the subpoena is unknown. Jordan first requested voluntary cooperation, but Pomerantz stated in a letter that Bragg’s office told him “to not provide any information or materials in response” to Jordan’s request.
Jordan has also stated that subpoenaing Bragg is an option.
“Everything’s on the table,” he said in one interview.
What Jordan is trying to do is halt an emerging precedent of creating political criminal investigations against former presidents of the United States. Our Founding Fathers never thought there would be people like Alvin Bragg who abuse their authority so blatantly and transparently, but here we are.
