Reply to comment by Medical-Ad-4141 in House GOP chairmen ask Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to testify on Trump probe by newzee1

Why would it? You’re the one asserting it. Hint are they going to ask for what went in to the decision to prosecute? Or what was going on after the decision was made?

Btw, your username is giving bot vibes and I don’t care if trump gets locked up. Just don’t like misinformation.

Thanks for the response. Given that the letter to Bragg makes lengthy allegations concerning the process by which the DA determined to charge Trump, it seems reasonable to think that would become the subject of inquiry from the committee. And, as your “hint” suggests, information concerning internal deliberations about charging decisions would be subject to the privilege.

I don’t think this is “misinformation.” At best, we have a good faith disagreement about whether issues implicating the privilege will arise. I also don’t know what my username has to do with things. It would be the stupidest use of a bot ever to engage in abstract legal debates with random people on Reddit.

The deliberations have to come prior to the charging decision, Counsel for a court to properly allow its assertion.

Being that Jordan holds an in real life JD and being chair of the House Judiciary Committee, I’m sure he knows he’s not getting any pre-charging information. That does not mean the privilege can be applied blanketly as your comments seem to suggest.
