They’re still there, despite the 2022 election. House GOP leaders show massive fundraising haul for first quarter, because cowards, traitors and louts have some power.

NEW @stephen_neukam : More than 50 members of the @HouseGOP have filed a brief urging an appeals court to uphold Judge Kacsmaryk’s decision to ban access to the abortion pill—banning a lifesaving drug in the name of "protecting women and girls." https://t.co/snciOSCn0d

WASHINGTON — New legislation from House Republicans aims to prevent local district attorneys from pursuing charges against former presidents.

The symbolic bill is yet another show of support for Donald Trump, who faces the possibility of criminal charges in Georgia and was arraigned in Manhattan last week for allegedly violating state law with false business records. x This is what happens when cowards , traitors and louts have power.



GOP Seeks To Shield Trump From All Future State Prosecutions

Republicans have subpoenaed a former prosecutor from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, denounced the charges as entirely motivated by politics, and scheduled a Monday hearing to accuse Bragg of failing to prosecute real crimes.

Now comes a proposal that Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.) said would “prevent political prosecutions” by moving cases against former presidents from state jurisdiction to federal court, where judges are confirmed by the Senate, an institution reliably influenced by elected Republicans.

[...]

Normally, state prosecutors and local district attorneys are responsible for prosecuting state crimes in state courts, while federal prosecutors, known as U.S. attorneys, pursue federal charges in federal courts. Fry said his bill, which he has not actually drafted, would allow presidents and vice presidents to move state cases into federal courts.
