Leader of Witch Hunt Against President Trump Goes After Jim Jordan
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is leading the latest witch hunt on the Left to stop former President Donald Trump from retaking the White House in 2024, just filed a lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan for challenging his legal campaign.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan, alleging that the Republican lawmaker is trying to wage a campaign of intimidation over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
In his lawsuit, the Democratic D.A. said he’s taking legal action “in response to an unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump.”
The real reason DA Bragg is going after Rep. Jordan now is likely that Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee leading an investigation of Bragg’s case against Trump, just subpoenaed former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who previously ran an investigation into Trump, and even wrote a book about it.
As reported:
The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committees has issued a subpoena demanding the testimony of a former Manhattan prosecutor who previously led the investigation into former President Donald Trump that led to his indictment on March 30.
Mark Pomerantz, who was a special assistant district attorney in Manhattan for about a year in 2021 and early 2022, turned down a request to voluntarily cooperate with a congressional investigation into the office that charged Trump, according to a letter sent Thursday by Rep. Jim Jordan.
Pomerantz refused to cooperate with Congress, so they sent him a subpoena. That immediately triggered Bragg to swoop in with a lawsuit to try to stop the House Judiciary from grilling Pomerantz in an attempt to obstruct congressional oversight. Are your eyebrows raised yet? This is how the radical Left works when they realize they’re not getting their way. They desperately start slinging everything and anything at the wall to see what sticks.
As Jordan himself tweeted last night:
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.
The New York DA’s complaint essentially claimed that Jordan’s subpoena is demanding confidential information that could jeopardize an ongoing investigation. The problem is Pomerantz already laid out everything in his book.
ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou broke it down, calling out DA Bragg’s justification, which is specious at best, for trying to block the subpoena:
This is a case in which he, Bragg, is claiming that to issue a subpoena to Pomerantz – he was the special assistant DA, which I have been, that he has hired to help him in the prosecution – he says, and I’m reading from the complaint, . . . “It would be making demands for confidential documents and testimony as well as from current and former employees and officials.” Well, guess what? As we just said, he’s written a book about it. What’s confidential about it? What is going to come out of this that hasn’t already been exposed to the public before? Why are you putting a restraint on him saying what he has broadcast all over the world as to what happened in the office and that led to his resignation? What’s the secret? And furthermore, how is it going to impede a criminal investigation?
This lawsuit, like the indictment itself, is little more than another Leftist smokescreen. The truth is they just want to stop Trump at any cost – including shredding the Constitution if need be. Rep. Jordan called Bragg out, but Bragg had already gone all in by issuing the indictment. This flimsy lawsuit was apparently the only card the DA had left to play. Now we will see if Rep. Jordan calls Bragg’s bluff.
