Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America:
“This
is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level
in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump
Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United
States, the Radical Left Democrats - the enemy of the hard-working men
and women of this Country - have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy
the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do:
Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine;
Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional
Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.
“The
Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying
to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a
completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.
"Never before in our Nation’s history
has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the
decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice
system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a
President of the United States and by far the leading Republican
candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.
“Manhattan
DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a
disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over
New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders
and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg
spends his time!
“I believe
this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American
people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here.
Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party - united and strong -
will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and
we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of
office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The Committees Lack Jurisdiction to Oversee a State Criminal Prosecution
Your recent letter states that the purpose of your inquiry is to conduct “an examination of the
facts” relating to the investigation of Mr. Trump.3
But Congress has no warrant for interfering
with individual criminal investigations—much less investigations conducted by a separate
sovereign. See United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 561 (1995) (“Under our federal system, the
States possess primary authority for defining and enforcing the criminal law.”); Younger v.
Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 44 (1971) (“This underlying reason for restraining courts of equity from
interfering with criminal prosecutions is reinforced by an even more vital consideration, the
notion of ‘comity,’ that is, a proper respect for state functions.”); cf. Gamble v. United States, 139
S. Ct. 1960 (2019) (recognizing state sovereign interests in the criminal justice context). The
Committees’ attempted interference with an ongoing state criminal investigation—and now
prosecution—is an unprecedented and illegitimate incursion on New York’s sovereign
interests.
Moreover, your examination of the facts of a single criminal investigation, for the supposed
purpose of determining whether any charges against Mr. Trump are warranted, is an improper
and dangerous usurpation of the executive and judicial functions. See Trump v. Mazars USA,
LLP, 140 S. Ct. 2019, 2032 (2020) (“Congress may not issue a subpoena for the purposes of
‘law enforcement’ because “those powers are assigned under our Constitution to the Executive
and the Judiciary.”); Plaut v. Spendthrift Farm, Inc., 514 U.S. 211, 219, 224 (1995) (“The Framers
of our Constitution lived among the ruins of a system of intermingled legislative and judicial
powers” and accordingly created a system that separated “the legislative power to make general
law from the judicial power to apply that law in particular cases.”). Even worse, based on your
reportedly close collaboration with Mr. Trump in attacking this Office and the grand jury
process,4
it appears you are acting more like criminal defense counsel trying to gather evidence
for a client than a legislative body seeking to achieve a legitimate legislative objective.

Love the footnotes/citations (theres that repub A-Team again):

This concern is heightened given that some committee members have explicitly stated an intent to interfere with the state
proceeding. For example, responding to Trump’s statement that he would be arrested, Representative Marjorie Taylor
Greene stated that “Republicans in Congress MUST subpoena these communists and END this! We have the power to
do it and we also have the power to DEFUND their salaries and departments!”, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@
RepMTG), Twitter (Mar. 18, 2023, 8:59 AM),
and that
Republicans who “do nothing to stop” the prosecution “will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned,
and punished by the base”, Rep. Marjorie Tylor Greene (@mtgreenee), Twitter (Mar. 18, 2023, 7:57 AM)
(“Pay attention to
who is being silent on what is currently happening to Trump.”).

Letter from Rep. Jim Jordan, H. Comm. on the Judiciary, et al. to Hon. Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., District Attorney, New York
County (March 23, 2023) at 7 (asserting that “the Committees’ oversight will in no way ‘stop [the] prosecution or set limits
on the management of a particular case”).
The DA’s Office Uses Limited Federal Funds to Effectively Fight Crime & Help
Victims
The Committees’ initial rationale for its inquiry related to this Office’s use of federal funds.
Over the last decade and a half, this Office has contributed to the federal fisc. Indeed, the DA’s
Office has helped the Federal Government secure more than one billion dollars in asset
forfeiture funds in the past 15 years. The DA’s Office receives only a small fraction of those
forfeited funds.
Our review of the Office’s records reflect that, of the federal forfeiture money that the Office
helped collect, approximately $5,000 was spent on expenses incurred relating to the
investigation of Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization. These expenses were incurred
between October 2019 and August 2021. Most of those costs are attributed to the Supreme
Court case, Trump v. Vance—subpoena-related litigation in which the DA’s Office prevailed
and which led to the indictment and conviction of Trump Organization CFO Allen
Weisselberg and two Trump organizations. No expenses incurred relating to this matter have
been paid from funds that the Office receives through federal grant programs.
A billion dollars over 15 years recovered via NY participation in federal forfeiture cases and they receive $837,841 in annual federal funding. Seems someone didn't do their research. Why am I not surprised?
Stop Violence Against Women Act Program.
The DA’s Office receives $50,000 in federal grant
money yearly via New York State’s Division of Criminal Justice Services during our current
award period, which runs from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2025, for work to hold
accountable those who commit acts of violence against women. These funds are used to help
pay a portion of the salaries for senior positions in the Special Victims Division of the Office,
including those who prosecute the most serious acts of violence and who directly interface
and help victims of crime through the process. We note that, according to the National
Coalition Against Domestic Violence, New York has the third lowest rate of domestic violence
victimization for women of all 50 states.8
Victims of Crime Act, Victim and Witness Assistance Grant Program.
The DA’s Office receives
$583,111.04 in federal grant money yearly during our current award period, which runs from
October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2025, from the Victims of Crime Act Victim and Witness
Assistance Grant Program, which is sub-granted from the federal government through the
New York State Office of Victim Services to our Office. All these funds are used by our
Witness Aid Services Unit (WASU). WASU provides a variety of court-related services, social
services, and counseling services designed to meet the needs of crime victims, witnesses, and
their families. The Unit also provides information related to the prosecution of the case, assists
victims in understanding the criminal justice system, and provides information regarding crime
victims’ rights. WASU ensures that crime victims, witnesses, and their families can access the services they need to address their trauma and rebuild their lives, while also helping them
navigate New York’s complex court system. All these efforts help make our city safer; by
ensuring victims participate in court processes, they help hold those who commit crimes
accountable for their actions, and by addressing trauma they help prevent future criminality.
Our Office’s focus on public safety in every aspect of our work, including WASU, is one thing
that helps explain why an expert analysis of the overall impact of the cost of crime per resident,
taking into account the cost of both violent and property crime, found New York City the
fifth safest large city in America.9
Department of Justice, Justice Assistance Grant.
The DA’s Office receives $204,730 in federal grant
money during our current award period, which runs from October 1, 2020, to September 30,
2024, from the Department of Justice’s Justice Assistance Grant program which is sub-granted
from the City of New York. These funds go towards addressing violent and other felony
crimes in our jurisdiction. With the help of these funds, New York City has the fifth lowest
rate of homicides of the top 50 most populated cities in the United States.10

Dems just want Trump to not get away with all the shit he pulled because if presidents can do the things he did and get away with it, America is done for. They aren't under the impression that this will keep DeSantis from running a real race (which is horrific in its own right). Does the GOP still think Trump would win the election in 2024? He seems like quite the has-been.

he thought he was flattering and winning over the grand jury. backfired on him. like pretty much every single thing he has ever done.
he has a knack for screwing up. like every single instinct he has ever had in his life has been wrong. he should start doing the opposite of his instincts. it might actually help him.
