It is not only Prosecutorial Fear (the Cs Club); proseccutors need a cohesive team with capable investigatory skills and an experienced Trial Attorney`s knowlege of the "FRE", Federal Rules of Evidence. Much broader use of Pre-Trial motions called motions in limine would help too. Check out the skilled lawyers in the Backroom of the Jan 6th Committee offices. Team members do not have to be lawyers. It's called good legal work.
Bryan Manhattan DA Vance brought in two superbly qualified lawyers to handle the Trump criminal prosecution. They pleaded with DA Bragg to continue the case. When he refused, they resigned the same day. These prosecutors were ready to risk their reputations in trying a ‘difficult case.’
I am well aware of the new DA`s blunder. As to the specific prosecutors who resigned, their sterling reputations & skill are already well known well beyond NY.
Barb As Manhattan DA Bragg has the ultimate authority, as did Vance, to decide whom to prosecute. Only if there were an avalanche of protest to his decision might it be possible to have a reversal. Bragg is elected and, thus, can not be fired.
I’m not completely up to date—I knew the two staff members resigned…but has it now been confirmed Bragg stopped the grand jury activity? If so, what is the reasoning? Is this a final decision after all that work?

So what happens now? Is there any way to override DA Bragg’s decision?
Barb As Manhattan DA Bragg has the ultimate authority, as did Vance, to decide whom to prosecute. Only if there were an avalanche of protest to his decision might it be possible to have a reversal. Bragg is elected and, thus, can not be fired.
And, I wonder who helped get him elected?
Then Manhattan DA Vance supported Bragg in an election where nomination meant election. Ethics and principles are not hallmarks of New York elections.
Not hardly Keith. In fact, NY City elections have the hallmarks of corruption and manipulation.
How do we let his office know how we feel?
Bragg has been beset with an avalanche of protest surrounding many of his decisions. He might be fired when he’s up for re-election.
If Bragg’s actions might possibly affect his re-election, by then I will be in my 90s. I’m not holding my breathe.
Barb, not a god damn thing. Again we handed Trump something else to put on his silver plate. Disgusting.
Grrrrr. Infuriating and frustrating.
I’m not completely up to date—I knew the two staff members resigned…but has it now been confirmed Bragg stopped the grand jury activity? If so, what is the reasoning? Is this a final decision after all that work?
YES. The two lawyers were in the final stages of grand jury indictment proceedings.
