(31,802 posts)He is an elected official just as she is. As far as the DOJ goes they do not have jurisdiction over state law cases. They only do federal law cases. The NY office was investigating potential state law crimes.

(21,424 posts)Bragg is elected but the governor has the right to remove him.
And DOJ can take the case over by using the same evidence to charge drumpf for a federal crimes akin to the State crimes Vances team was investigating. Most state laws have a similar Federal equivalent.

(11,433 posts)This would seem to be a serious abuse of discretion by Bragg.

(18,891 posts)Letitia James is the New York State AG. She could share her information with the Feds, and I believe she has shared some. She couldn't take over the Federal investigation though.

(26,366 posts)His investigation is not part of the federal government.

(18,891 posts)Thanks for the correction. Trump has so many investigations going on it's hard to keep them separated. I thought Bragg was the Southern District of New York.

(8,679 posts)that he either got paid off by some Republican Oligarch, or
those same Republican's Oligarch's had someone threaten him and/or his family.
Any way, it is a supreme Travesty of Justice, regardless........
But an untold number of people thought this was gonna happen anyway..............
We will know for sure the "fix" is in, once and for all, when we see what happens with the
January 6th insurrectionists..............That will be the "shot heard round the world"
That is unless Putin decides to grow crazier and beats them to the draw. Then he will fire the "shot heard round the world"....

DENVERPOPS
(8,679 posts)that there are any DOJ investigators and FBI remaining to do much of anything. They are all overwhelmed doing what they have on their plates at this time.........
panfluteman
(2,054 posts)Actually, there are four possibilities:
A) He received death threats from right wing MAGA nut jobs.
B) He was blackmailed by Donald Trump, Putin or the Kremlin, or close associates thereof.
C) He received a hefty bribe from sources similar or allied to the above.
D) A combination of two or more of the above.

(18,571 posts)Physical injury or death to you and family members if you proceed and wealth and riches if you pull back.
Everything done by surrogates so Trump can claim no knowledge.
If the scheme comes out in public the corrupted official goes to prison but Trump remains free to do it again.
DENVERPOPS
(8,679 posts)would do the same exact thing if there were death threats to our family.
Or at least someone with principles would quit, and sidestep the whole thing.
That is, unless they told him that if he quit, they would take out him and his family anyway.........

(8,258 posts)I have jabbed and poked right-wing nut jobs for years about their lack of critical thinking skills. Obviously, they dont utilize their gray matter but here we are after the most atrocious administration in our history and whos left holding the bag? The Mercers? The Kochs? Trump? No. (Hmm, whos avoiding critical thinking now?)
Honestly, I am worn to a nub. Im that pencil whose ferrell has no eraser. Im tearing through paper now. If trump doesnt face an indictment or answer for his crimes in office, I think Ill just quietly walk away. Im gullible but Im not stupid.
