The Manhattan district attorney on Tuesday sued Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio in an extraordinary step intended to keep congressional Republicans from interfering in the office’s criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump.

The 50-page suit, filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York, accuses Mr. Jordan of a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the prosecution of Mr. Trump and a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. Mr. Bragg last week unveiled 34 felony charges against Mr. Trump that stem from the former president’s attempts to cover up a potential sex scandal during and after the 2016 presidential campaign.

Lawyers for Mr. Bragg are seeking to bar Mr. Jordan and his congressional allies from enforcing a subpoena sent to Mark F. Pomerantz, who was once a leader of the district attorney’s Trump investigation and who later wrote a book about that experience. Mr. Pomerantz resigned early last year after Mr. Bragg, just weeks into his first term in office, decided not to seek an indictment of Trump at that time.

Mr. Bragg’s lawyers, including Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. of the law firm Gibson Dunn and Leslie Dubeck, the general counsel in the district attorney’s office, also intend to prevent any other such subpoenas, the lawsuit says. Mr. Jordan has left open the possibility of subpoenaing Mr. Bragg.

24. I don't think Jordan really wants to give Pomerantz an opportunity to speak in public

Pomerantz resigned because he felt they had the goods on Trump and should prosecute him. Getting him to testify in public wouldn't do Jordan's stupid committee any good.

Still, I'm glad to see Bragg fighting back. My money is on Bragg.

10. Hey Gym F.A.F.O.

Alvin Bragg
Education Harvard University (BA, JD)

Gym Jordan
Capital University (JD) (he does have a B.A. from Wisconsin & M.A. from OSU when he was a wrestling coach)

[GB_RN]

21. However...

Bragg, unlike Gym, has taken and passed the Bar Exam. Bragg is a real lawyer. Jacket-off Gym is…well, a jackoff.

[Botany]

22. I read that Bragg and crew filed a 50 page filling against Gym

I'm sure Bragg & Co. will ask Gym to show what jurisdiction does he have in a case in NY State
and are his actions acts of obstruction.

Gym is way out of his league in trying to take on Bragg and he will be exposed as an idiot big time.

[GB_RN]

33. Gym Is Out Of His League...

After he puts on his socks. 😂

[Jrose]

11. Bragg, Willis and Smith are standing up for truth, justice and democracy!

The more mud the Maga-publicans fling at them,
The more neon lights those courageous people will shine at the mudslingers.

[MagickMuffin]

12. Go get em, Alvin

I hope this lawsuit will throw a monkey wrench in Jim’s path of obstruction!

[ancianita]

13. At the least they are guilty of abuse of power; at worst, obstructing due process of state law.

[live love laugh]

14. If he sues via the government, it doesn't really harm the culprits does it?

[rubbersole]

15. FAFO Gym.

Repubs are not only despicable, they're fucking ignorant. Faux news can't cover up their mountain of shit. Still trying though.

[peggysue2]

16. Good!

Jordon and his crew of flying monkeys have made deliberate gross accusations and threats to intimidate DABragg and his office. The threat of violence hangs over everything emanating from their fringe base dedicated to outrage and payback. Jordon and his cohorts know this and simply don't care.

Because distraction and scoring political points is everything.

[Samrob]

17. I knew he had it in him!! Way to go. No matter the outcome, fight back!! nt

[Arazi]

18. Yup, only way to stop a bully is to get tough(er) back at them

[Prairie_Seagull]

19. Scales of justice starting to even out, I say starting. nt

[agingdem]

20. Jordan and his MAGA asshats don't get it...

this isn't Hillary/Benghazi/emails 2015..they've been exposed as traitors/Trump's moronic treasonous enablers.. and Jordan's threats of subpoenas and investigations in defense of an obscene deranged bloated sociopath is about as serious as a bad SNL skit...
