The House Judiciary Committee released a new report on Thursday which accuses Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of pursuing a political prosecution against former President Donald Trump.
"[Since] at least 2018, the DANY has weaponized the criminal justice system, scouring every aspect of President Trump’s personal life and business affairs, going back decades, in the hopes of finding some legal basis—however far-fetched, novel, or convoluted—to bring charges against him," the report concluded.
"When one legal theory would not pan out, instead of discontinuing its politically motivated investigation, the DANY simply pivoted to a new theory, constantly searching for a crime—any crime—to prosecute President Trump."
The committee used evidence from former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark F. Pomerantz’s book, in which he described his work at the Manhattan District Attorney's office. According to the committee, Pomerantz published a book shortly after resigning from the office after DA Bragg assumed the role in order to pressure him to charge the former president.
You can read the report below:
Last year, Bragg ultimately decided to charge Trump with 34 felony counts using what the committee describes as "a novel and untested legal theory that bootstrapped misdemeanor allegations as a felony." The previous district attorney, Cyrus Vance, had not filed charges against Trump despite years of investigation led by Pomerantz.
"The timing and basis for the DANY's prosecution of President Trump provide a clear inference that Bragg is motivated by political calculations," the report concludes.
"In addition to the novel and untested legal theory, Bragg's case relies heavily on the testimony of his star witness, Michael Cohen—a convicted perjurer with a demonstrable prejudice against President Trump," the committee said in a statement...

I hope they strip him and coat him with honey before staking him to a fire ant nest.
A sternly written subpoena to appear before Congress.
No offense, but name one time anything became of a Congressional investigation.
The only thing Bragg is doing is following orders from the deepstate.
They cannot defund the DOJ and subsidies to lawfare around the country because the idiot RINOs passed the budget instead.
It took them this long to figure that out.
It’s not DANY alone who’s responsible for where Bragg has taken his loose cannon.
We now have evidence that the Trump prosecutions (witch hunts) are being directed from the (lawless) Barry-Biden regime.
We’re here because under no circumstances would the US Senate remove Biden or any of his appointees through any impeachment.
The military may be unusually forced to obey their oaths over obeying unlawful orders. Many could die. Pray that doesn’t happen.
So, are the Republicans in Congress finally waking up?
Name one time a Congressional investigation produced anything besides a CYA "report?"
Ghetto-nurtured Bragg, which AA contrived to turn into a non-performing DA, is claiming that:
<><>anyone committing a misdemeanor as per NY law
<><>(like supposedly making a “false business entry”)
<><>in order to conceal the commission of another misdemeanor
<><>(braindead Bragg dreamed this up as promoting one’s candidacy in an unlawful manner).......
<><>yet just like magic – Bragg waves his magic wand,
<><>and converts the misdemeanor into 34 felony offenses.
OK, so they wrote a report accusing Bragg of a political prosecution.
Now let’s see some ACTION!
I want to see the piggy squeal!
Don’t hold your breath.
Bad Kossack! Bad! Stop waving that sword around, galloping on that horse. Don’t you know you could hurt someone?
OooOooh … released a report.
😱😱😱
The report just supports some hopeless (at least for any time soon) bills against politically motivated local prosecutions.
More like a political persecution.
Too bad they’re all milquetoasts.

New York State Supreme Court, 04/25/2024, shut down prosecution attempts to use certain prior bad acts.
EXCERPT:
“The court found the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against Weinstein based on allegations that weren’t part of the case.”
