McCarthy & Jordan attempt to shut down NY DA Alvin Bragg's criminal investigation of Donald Trump




In a dramatic and transparent abuse of power, Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and others attempt to interfere in New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg's criminal investigation of Donald Trump. This represents a gross abuse of congressional power, a potential violation of the 10th Amendment (as this is NOT a power delegated to the federal government), and it may also constitute the crime of obstruction of justice. But we can expect more of this abuse of power by McCarthy and company if law enforcement authorities decline to hold McCarthy and Jordan accountable for these abuses. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/20/2023.

Current edition. Every day republicans prove several times THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO LEAD, GOVERN OR MANAGE MONEY. Every day they spend their time and our fiduciary assets lying in an attempt to defend their version of Hitler. They know nothing of accountability. They know nothing of shame.

And now, New York Has to break out the barriers because of people with conservative “values.”

But ya know what, me thinks the good guys will prevail.

Their only thought in the face of this looming deadline is to threaten those who seek to bring TFG to justice or to investigate the son of the president who has never served in the government.

Those with conservative values will blame everyone in DC except themselves.

I appreciate that he explains these complicated legal issues in a way that I can understand. Not to mention, he's "one of us!"
