Bragg's effort to stop Congress from probing Trump case collides with Pentagon Papers precedent

Manhattan DA's office used $5,000 in federal asset forfeiture funds in Trump case, opening door for lawmakers' power of the purse oversight.

"When it comes to oversight investigation the principal of legitimate legislative purpose is supreme," said Jason Foster, the former chief investigative counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee and now head of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center. "You heard this phrase during the Jan. 6 probe. You heard Liz Cheney saying it all the time: Our legislative purpose is this or that because Congress can investigate anything if it has a legitimate legislative purpose."

That purpose can be to inform future legislation or to oversee how federal money has been spent.

This could backfire on Democrats. Trump's lawyers should lock horns on the Democrats. Democrats exposed themselves to cross examination. Call in Bragg as a witness and grill him.

This has the potential to turn into a complete shit show, tit for tat, etc. Please, God, end this quickly.

When the truth threatens Bragg's case, you know he doesn't have one.

I hope Bragg's efforts are complicated by said lawmakers who want the truth. A 50-page lawsuit sounds rather desperate, and hope Jordan gives him a hard time. And yeah, folks like Bragg don't really care about the truly serious crimes going on in his state.
