A federal appeals court on Thursday issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking the deposition of Pomerantz by the House Judiciary Committee less than two hours before it was set to begin.
Bragg had sought to block the congressional subpoena, but on Wednesday a federal judge denied his request -- marking a win for Jordan.

"Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney's privileges and interests. We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe," a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney said.

Oh, he'll love that. At least one of "his" judges is loyal.Vyskocil mocked Bragg's 50-page suit in her ruling, saying, "The first 35 pages of the Complaint have little to do with the subpoena at issue and are nothing short of a public relations tirade against former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump."

Serioiusly, judge? Pomerantz isn't accused of a crime. It's just a deposition in connection with a New York criminal case against Trump, who so far HAS been above the law."The subpoena was issued with a 'valid legislative purpose' in connection with the 'broad' and 'indispensable' congressional power to 'conduct investigations," wrote Vyskocil, a Trump nominee. "Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law."
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
