Federal judge shoots down Alvin Bragg's bid to stop Rep. Jim Jordan's subpoena: 'No one is above the law'

[NYPOST] A federal judge on Wednesday shot down Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
...Soros-financed, -owned, and -operated woke Manhattan DA. A prosecutorial loose cannon who feels entitled to pick and choose which laws to enforce and can't be bothered to respond civilly to Congressional inquiries unless they're from Dems...
’s attempt to block a former prosecutor in his office from testifying before the House Judiciary Committee about the criminal case against Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
The committee and its chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), had subpoenaed ex-assistant district attorney Mark Pomerantz to give testimony about the DA’s investigation into Trump, 76, that culminated in the former president’s indictment in March.

Bragg filed suit against Jordan and the Judiciary Committee, claiming the subpoena was an overreach by the GOP-led House and an attempt to influence a state criminal proceeding.

But Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil found the subpoena was issued with a "valid legislative purpose" and that it was not the role of the federal judiciary to dictate how Congress operates.

"Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law," Vyskocil wrote in an opinion issued after a Manhattan federal court hearing.
"Even a Democrat"
Pomerantz is scheduled to give the deposition Thursday morning — unless Bragg’s office secures a delay from a federal appeals court. Both the DA’s office and Pomerantz appealed the ruling later Wednesday.

Jordan issued the subpoena ostensibly to investigate if and how federal funds were used in the investigation into Trump by Bragg’s office.

#4 Reading the leftist Democrats comments it's clear they have no idea of how to file a stay. This judge laid it out in minute detail what was wrong with Bragg's bid. Mark Pomerantz wrote a book detailing his complaints with Bragg so there is no DA privelege .
