☆ Opinion: What happens when you knock on a door
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Richard Galant | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +18 min
We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. In Kansas City, Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old White homeowner shot Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager who rang his doorbell. And, “with Trump as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, Fox has resumed coverage of him which often veers into the free-advertisement category. Neither Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who announced his candidacy last week, nor Marianne Williamson represents a serious threat, Axelrod noted. “The calendar reads 2023,” wrote the Republican former lieutenant governor of Georgia, Geoff Duncan, “but it feels like 2016 all over again.
☆ Mark Pomerantz: Federal judge denies request to block House GOP subpoena of ex-prosecutor

New York CNN —A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office for a temporary restraining order to stop a House Judiciary Committee subpoena of former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil said Pomerantz must appear for a deposition as the House panel investigates Bragg’s recent indictment of former President Donald Trump. Bragg’s office says it will appeal. During the hearing, an attorney for Bragg’s office argued – unsuccessfully – that Pomerantz ignored cautions from the DA before publishing the book, so the district attorney’s office should not be penalized. The clash between federal and state powers began in March when Jordan asked Bragg’s office for documents and communications after news organizations reported that Bragg’s office was moving closer to seeking to indict Trump.
☆ Is Alvin Bragg’s Case Against Trump Constitutional?
  + stars: | 2023-04-17 | by ( David B. Rivkin Jr. | Kristin A. Shapiro | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ’s indictment of Donald Trump could mean trouble down the road for Joe Biden. “I think our Republican AGs and DAs”—attorneys general and district attorneys—“should get creative,” Mike Davis , a Republican former Senate staffer, told the New York Post. But under the Trump precedent, what’s to stop an ambitious Republican prosecutor somewhere from bringing dubious state charges against him before a hostile jury after he leaves office? Every four to eight years, prosecutors would order up a presidential ham sandwich. Presidents might end up having to flee the country when they leave office.
☆ Alvin Bragg’s Pro-Biden Prosecutorial Discretion
  + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In 1787, with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, a republic was born. Alvin Bragg , the Manhattan district attorney, saw a squiggly, strained path to bring a case against Donald Trump related to the Stormy Daniels matter. It isn’t an obligatory case. It isn’t a case a prosecutor would be failing in his job not to bring. He asked what would the Democratic Party and party leadership, from Joe Biden on down, want him to do.
☆ Fact Check-March 2023 posts saying Manhattan DA has resigned and dropped Trump investigation stem from edited video
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s probe into whether Donald Trump falsified business records is ongoing and there’s no evidence that Bragg has resigned from his position. One Facebook user said: “Manhattan D.A., Alvin Bragg has now stated that all charges (what charges?) against President Trump have been dropped, and that Bragg is now resigning as D.A. There is no evidence Bragg has resigned, and his office has not indicted Trump on any charges. The claim appears to stem from a digitally altered video of Bragg.
☆ The House GOP Takes Alvin Bragg’s Bait
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Donald Trump, the Beltway press corps and Democrats don’t agree on much, but they do all want Mr. Trump to dominate the nation’s political news and conversation. The puzzle is why House Republicans seem eager to fall into this trap by investigating Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ’s potential prosecution of Mr. Trump. We’ve said that Mr. Bragg’s indictment of the former President would be misguided and is likely to take U.S. politics into a deeper polarized hole. Perhaps the DA is rethinking this himself, as he delayed his grand jury’s consideration of more evidence until Monday at the earliest. Perhaps cooler heads are warning him that bringing what the public evidence suggests is a weak case will forever mark his career.
☆ Alvin Bragg’s Political Charge Against Donald Trump
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Alvin Bragg may actually do it. The Manhattan district attorney is by all media accounts preparing to indict Donald Trump for failing to account properly for hush money paid to his alleged mistress, unleashing who knows what political furies. Mr. Trump said Saturday he expects to be arrested on Tuesday and urged his supporters to “protest, protest, protest.” Cry, the beloved country. It’s impossible to overstate Mr. Bragg’s bad judgment here. But based on the public evidence so far, he would be resurrecting a seven-year-old case that even federal prosecutors refused to bring to court.
