Exclusive: Jim Jordan Subpoenas Manhattan Prosecutor Who Resigned over Suspended Trump Probe
Breitbart, Apr 6, 2023

House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) escalated Republicans’ investigation into the Manhattan district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump by subpoenaing a prosecutor on Thursday who resigned from the office last year over the district attorney’s initial reluctance to pursue Trump’s case.

Jordan’s subpoena, reviewed by Breitbart News, directs Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office in February 2022, to appear before the committee for a deposition on April 20.

In a cover letter accompanying the subpoena, Jordan said his committee had legislative reasons to demand Pomerantz’s testimony.

“Congress has a specific and manifestly important interest in preventing politically motivated prosecutions of current and former Presidents by elected state and local prosecutors, particularly in jurisdictions—like New York County—where the prosecutor is popularly elected and trial-level judges lack life tenure,” Jordan wrote.

Glad to hear it.  This bogus “indictment” will NOT go unchallenged.

1.) Republicans have already established the precedent of completely ignoring Congressional subpoenas.

2.) Local and State personnel are not directly accountable to the Federal because of Federalism and States' Rights established by the US Constitution.

3.) The Members of Congress who subpoena Bragg and his staff are interfering with New York executive and judicial proceedings.

4.) If I were a New York official, I'd start a RICO investigation against Jim Jordan's Congressional committee.  The only possible reason(s) Congress would force a state prosecutor to testify before Congress about a case that it is currently prosecuting in court:

a.) Abusing Congressional authority in an attempt to interfere with an active state judicial proceeding.

b.) Abusing Congressional authority in an attempt to intimidate, coerce, or extort procsecutors, witnesses, jurors, and judge(s) participating in an active New York State judical proceeding.

These GOP Congressional ass-clowns are shredding Federalism and States' Rights to save their own asses or Trump's ass.  They are behaving as if they are participants of a criminal enterprise seeking to use their power and infulence to corrupt Federal and New York State institutions.

These guys may be walking themselves straight into a RICO case with Trump's 2020 Campaign.

Before going yay, I want to see what Jordon does when Bragg refuses to abide by the subpoena.  He'a already officially said he will not be intimidated by external elements.  I am guessing that means he is going to give McCarthy/Jordon the finger.

Fair enough. We'll see what happens. I'm trying to be positive and hopeful.  :shrug:

It would be tougher with Bragg, but this Pomerantz guy was in it from the start, and because he is not currently a prosecutor, will have a tougher time fighting a subpoena.

Smart place to start.
