Let’s hope this is not another show of flapping tongues and real action is taken to save this now faltering nation under siege by malevolent leftist forces like George Soros and his Democrat co-conspirators.

House Republicans Set Hearing on Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s ‘Pro-Crime’ Policies
By Jackson Richman, The Epoch Times, April 10, 2023:
Story continues below advertisementThe House Judiciary Committee announced on April 10 it will hold a field hearing in New York City on April 17 to discuss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, just weeks after the unprecedented indictment and arraignment of former President Donald Trump in Bragg’s district.
The hearing is titled “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan.”
Bragg has come under fire, mainly from conservatives and the GOP, for what those critics say are “soft on crime” policies. The hearing, according to the committee, “will examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.”
Bragg’s office has fired back at the scheduled hearing, calling it a “political stunt.”
“This hearing won’t engage in actual efforts to increase public safety, such as supporting national gun legislation and shutting down the iron pipeline,” a spokesperson for the office said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Shortly after taking office, Bragg issued a memo to his staffers stating that the district attorney’s office will not prosecute, among numerous offenses, marijuana misdemeanors, public transportation fare evasion, most trespassing violations, resisting arrest, and prostitution. Bragg also announced the downgrading of certain offenses including possession of a non-firearm weapon, both residential and commercial burglaries, and drug cases.
Republicans have pointed out the incongruence of Bragg’s leniency for these crimes versus his prosecution of Trump for allegedly falsifying business records.
Trump was arraigned on April 4 on a 34-count indictment, to which he pleaded not guilty, over his alleged role in the payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. On his social media site, Truth Social, Trump has called Bragg’s prosecution a “WITCH HUNT” and said that the district attorney should “INDICT HIMSELF.”
“The People of the State of New York allege that Donald J. Trump repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal crimes that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” said Bragg in a statement released by his office.
“Manhattan is home to the country’s most significant business market. We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct,” he continued. “As the statement of facts describes, the trail of money and lies exposes a pattern that, the People allege, violates one of New York’s basic and fundamental business laws.
“As this office has done time and time again, we today uphold our solemn responsibility to ensure that everyone stands equal before the law.”
GOP ProbesA field hearing occurs when a committee holds a hearing outside of its committee room on Capitol Hill. The House Judiciary hearing is scheduled to be held at the Javits Federal Building in Manhattan.
Since a New York grand jury voted on March 30 to indict Trump, Republicans have vowed to hold Bragg accountable.
“Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election. As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account,” said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in a Twitter post.

I have made this statement before in comments about New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Basically Alvin Bragg is a hypocrite. The evidence that he is a hypocrite is that he is soft on criminals and has let dangerous criminals run loose instead of prosecuting them for their crimes, yet he has also spent huge amounts of time and huge amounts of taxpayers money to indict former president Donald Trump on what are basically frivolous charges.

Get Bragg on a heavy duty serious Federal Crime – election interference as well. Both fatties of color Alvin Bragg and Tish James ran on getting Trump and kept their word with nonsense crimes. How much were they paid by soros? Get their financial records here and off shore and their families as well. Much of their campaign funds were from soros folks from their many fronts that are used to buy elections.

Like the Tennessee Legislature, you can never have too many Nutty Negroes in serious decision-making positions of political leadership, right?
Now mush-mouth Tim Scott thinks he’s Presidential material.
Every one of those “Republican” candidates getting into the race against Trump — Lilting Schoolmarm Nikki Haley, RINO-Crony Poster Boy A-Hole Hutchinson, Vivek Irrawaddy, and Tim Scott — is prima facie disqualified just solely on the fact that they think they’re qualified to be President of the United States, even irregardless of the inanity of thinking they’re better, smarter, tougher than Trump.
And Larry Elder, the guy who has ZERO executive-management experience, yet never saw an open seat for executive leadership — in California and now as President — that he wouldn’t impulsively start fundraising for. In the United States, we don’t need any Black leaders; we need Black followers.

You’re just a straight up racist – proud of it too, right? Not sure how you’re idiotic post had remained on Geller’s website. You actually seem more like a liberal trying to get the stats up for that idiot BBC “journalist” whom Elon decimated.

“Terrorizing the citizens” is such a true to life statement. It’s even beyond terrorizing, they totally gave the keys to the safty of law abiding citizens, to the criminals in jail.
Literally, change of rolls!! That is beyond insanity, that is criminality, and these people need to pay the price and get prosecuted and sit behind bars for life. Mental degenerates, and it all comes to us from the University professors who brain washed an entire generation of useful young idiots

The Louisville bank mass murderer was “under the care of mental health professionals.”
Was he on anti-depressants or other pharmaceutical catalysts, and what was the nature of the line of “reasoning” that mental health professionals subjected him to, and how exactly was he goaded and insidiously incited by Satan?

Bragg is guilty of TREASON.
He is pursuing Trump in an effort to rig the 2024 election….. that is election tampering ……. that is an attempt to over-throw that lawful progression of government ….. that is an attempt to over-throw the Republic …… THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR.
By definition ….. THAT IS TREASON.
The punishment for TREASON is DEATH.

How can any prosecutor fail to go after residential & commercial burglary perpetrators? That’s going to upset a large amount of people having precious items stolen. That’s practically an insane proposition. Law enforcement & prosecutions were founded in this country for the protection of personal property. The communities got together & said enough is enough. And they started catching these thieves. Bragg is a huge disgrace.

Victims of crime by criminals previously released or ignored by Bragg and his kind around the country should sue prosecutors, district attorneys and judges for failing to do their duty. Bankrupt them.

Alvin Bragg is an affront and disgrace the dignity of the Office of the District Attorney.
Bragg should be disbarred from the Office of the DA for violations of ethics and corruption charges as well as for deliberate abuse and misuse of the DA Office and gross incompetence.

That corrupt and unethical Distract Attorney Alvin Bragg even accepts “gifts” bribes from that subversive villain ,George Soros, to engage in the political Persecution against Donald Trump.
To put this is another way Bragg , after a private payoff from Soros , is gladly and viciously acting out not in Legal prosecution against Mr. Trump and in political persecution against him.
The Bible does inform its reader “A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgement.” Proverbs 17:23. {K.J.V.]
