Verdict. and essentially what this looks like is, a, affecting the justice system through the appropriations process. b, through different legislation that s put on the floor. and c, through oversight, and we re already seeing johnson and other republicans put these three ideas into play. last week house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan demanded that alvin bragg, the manhattan d.a., and another prosecutor who was on the hush money case appeared before lawmakers and testify next week. and then we also saw jim jordan fire off a letter to tom cole who s the chairman of the house appropriations committee, making a whole swath of requests as we head into the fiscal year 2025 appropriations process, which includes provisions like defunding the fbi, cutting off funding for federal for state prosecutors who republicans say are involved in, quote, law fare and other federal prosecutors who they accuse of being involved in those same efforts. so we re already seeing this develop up on capitol hill now.
