Extra political post of the day - NYC Grand Jury

 Mindy Fischer, Writer

· 

So Jim Jordan and James Comer sent a letter to Alvin Bragg demanding that he hand over documents and testify before the MAGA House about the coming Trump indictment in the NY hush money case. Bragg already gave them the finger once this week. But Jordan and Comer are continuing to push the issue trying to save Trump's fat ass.

So this morning Bragg's office replied to them again listing 4 ways the House GOP’s request for testimony is improper.

1- Republicans are seeking “non-public information about a pending criminal investigation, which is confidential under state law.”

2- The requests are an “unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty” under the 10th Amendment, which prevents congressional inquiries into matters delegated to the states.

3- Congress is “not the appropriate branch” to review a pending criminal case. Adding, the courts are the “proper forum” for a challenge.

4- Requests for information about the use of federal funding are “an insufficient basis to justify these unconstitutional requests.”

It's getting kinda fun watching Bragg tell Jordan and Comer and the MAGAs to fuck off.
