House Republicans Respond to Alvin Bragg’s Nasty Reply Letter

House Republicans Jordan, Comer and Steil responded to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Saturday.

Alvin Bragg on Thursday lashed out at House Republicans and blamed Trump for starting rumors about his imminent arrest.

President Trump earlier this week said he would be arrested on Tuesday in a pair of Truth Social posts.

House Republicans immediately launched an investigation into DA Alvin Bragg, accusing him of abusing his power.

Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg elevated the Stormy ‘hush payment’ case from a misdemeanor to a felony earlier this year in a effort to ‘get Trump.’

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil on Monday sent Bragg a letter demanding testimony and documents related to his investigation into the ‘hush payment’ after Trump said his arrest was imminent.

“Your letter … is an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office wrote in the letter House Republicans Jordan, Comer and Steil.

Bragg, who is trying to prosecute a federal matter out of the state of New York, had the gall to claim the House GOP probe is an overreach into local matters.

“The letter’s requests are an unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty,” Bragg’s office said.

Reps. Jim Jordan, James Comer and Bryan Steil responded to Bragg in an eight page letter.

“Notably, your reply letter did not dispute the central allegations at issue—that you, under political pressure from left-wing activists and former prosecutors in your office, are reportedly planning to use an alleged federal campaign finance violation, previously declined by federal prosecutors, as a vehicle to extend the statute of limitations on an otherwise misdemeanor offense and indict for the first time in history a former President of the United States. Moreover, you are apparently attempting to upgrade a misdemeanor charge to a felony using an untested legal theory at the same time when you are simultaneously downgrading felony charges to misdemeanors in a majority of other cases in your jurisdiction.” the House Republicans wrote.

“Contrary to the central argument set forth in your letter, this matter does not simply involve local or state interests. Rather, the potential criminal indictment of a former President of the United States by an elected local prosecutor of the opposing political party (and who will face the prospect of re-election) implicates substantial federal interests, particularly in a jurisdiction where trial-level judges also are popularly elected,” they wrote.

Jordan, Comer and Steil told Alvin Bragg he has until March 31 to comply with their demands.

Resolution By House Republicans To Remove Kamala Harris As Border Czar

What exactly does Vice President Kamala Harris do all day? Even Harris herself is baffled when asked to describe her job duties.

With Harris at the helm in her role as border czar, the border crisis has only gotten worse.

When Harris once accidentally went near the border, she travelled instead to a groundbreaking of a 125-mile-long transmission line that will transport wind and solar energy, not to the southern border where millions pour across trafficking drugs, weapons, and humans.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has repeated the claim that the “border is secure” despite the fact that 5 million illegals have flooded across the border in the first two years of the Biden administration.

TGP reported that US Border Patrol Chief Raúl Ortiz, testifying before congressional Republicans at the border in McAllen, Texas, defied DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Biden by saying the border is in “crisis” and the US does not have control of its border.

Now, Congressional Republicans have introduced a resolution calling for Harris to be removed from her position as border czar.

On Friday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX)  reintroduced the resolution which states:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the Biden administration to:

 (1) remove Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of any executive branch task force or strategy relating to immigration;

(2) appoint an experienced and competent leader to replace Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of the Biden administration’s strategy to address the root causes of migration;
(3) recognize that border security is national security;
(4) immediately provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection with the adequate support and resources to do their job effectively and adequately;
(5) immediately reinistate the Migrant Protection Protocols;

(6) take action to protect American communities from fentanyl; and

(7) stop allowing politics in Washington to cloud their judgment regarding policies implemented at the southern border.

 

The Daily Caller Reports:

Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson on Friday reintroduced a resolution, first obtained by the Daily Caller, that calls for Vice President Kamala Harris to be removed from her position as border czar.

Friday marks two years since President Joe Biden appointed Harris as head of the border crisis, something Republicans are saying she and the president have completely failed to handle.

“Kamala Harris has done nothing to ‘address the root cause of migration’ or stop the influx of illegal immigrants coming across our border daily. She continues to sit by as the number of illegal immigrants coming across our border skyrockets, fentanyl deaths explode, and CBP officers are left to fend for themselves. She has completely betrayed the American people by blatantly disregarding her duties as Border Czar,” Jackson told the Caller before introducing the resolution.

“Enough is enough! President Biden must remove Kamala Harris and replace her with someone who will put Americans first and stop the crisis at our southern border. Politics should never compromise our national security. We need change now!,” Jackson added.
