Have the committees in the House of Representatives violated local or state laws with their tactics of intimidation and attempted interference in a law enforcement matter?
They have no "oversight" responsibilities of a local grand jury or DA. They have no justification for reviewing the "judiciary" of a city. I wish I knew the law better. It just seems to me that we have some loonies in DC who are attempting to interfere in a legal proceeding. Can't they be busted for that?
Could they be charged with obstruction of justice? Sued for defamation? Anything?
Why get caught up in a side bar with these people? Remember they like to distract and delay. I prefer to focus on the legalities of pursuing trump in NY, Willis' work in Georgia and Garland's case.
Bragg has written brilliant responses to Jordan and friends. From my readings of his responses he has profoundly, eloquently and decisively informed the Jordan folks they are drastically out of their lane. I invite you to read Bragg's responses. I tried to read Jordan's letters to Bragg, but they were so full of bully gibberish I got a headache : ))
Of course but he didn't write it. He certainly would have reviewed it before it was sent, though. It was written and signed by the General Counsel to the DA's Office (Leslie Dubeck), probably in consultation with attorneys within her office.
The responses to Jordan et al were written by the General Counsel to the NY DA's office, Leslie Dubeck. Seems likely she consulted with other attorneys within her particular office of General Counsel and that the letters were reviewed by DA Bragg before sending but let's give credit where it's due. She did a superb job, especially with the third letter. Here's a link to letter #3, it's a doozy: https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/31/politics/manhattan-district-attorney-office-letter-house-gop/index.html
Not to mention they are taking valuable time and resources away from the actual work they should be doing like, for example, making sure the U.S. doesn’t default on the national debt. They were not elected to blindly interfere and intervene in a state prosecution.
The short answer on legal recourse is no. They are protected by the Speech and Debate clause. The speech and debate clause does not protect them from public ridicule, peaceful protest, or from being voted out of office. Those are rights we all have under the first amendment.
With the current so called GOP, the only one of those that will have any effect is the last, VOTE them out! I’m so hoping that the upcoming election in WI will be a loud pro-democracy statement 🙏🙏
Here's a legal question:

Actually, I believe the response was crafted by the “legal” office of the District Attorney. Even better!
Under the auspices of Bragg. Right?

Good point, but I think they would fall back on the speech and debate clause when threatened.

From your keyboard to God’s ears!
I’m relying more on all the postcards and calls made by an engaged pro-democracy public 😁
