“Instead of locking up dangerous career criminals wreaking havoc on our city, Alvin Bragg has chosen to abuse our tax dollars and his prosecutorial power to politically target a political foe. Shameful,” Rep.
Those requests have since been met with two letters from the Manhattan district attorney’s office general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, indicating that compliance with the House GOP’s requests would interfere with a pending criminal investigation. By statute, the Justice Department would then be responsible for deciding whether to bring a criminal case but is unlikely to ultimately prosecute Bragg based on the Justice Department’s long-standing practice of not providing information about ongoing investigations.
to outline the conference’s thinking. “From leadership all the way down to the Freedom Caucus — you even had RINO establishment Republicans who loathe Trump, like [Sen. Thom] Tillis saying this is ridiculous.”Republican investigators have made clear the indictment will not slow down their committee’s work, if anything stressing it will accelerate it. It could also sharpen their focus on other Democrats to investigate more aggressively.
