And it looks like Bragg is attempting to prove Jordan to be correct.
What a fascinating claim because the Klan Act is enforced by the Executive and sanctions are placed by the Judicial. I'm not seeing anything about the Legislative having any power under it. But since that's what you're claiming, perhaps you could tell us exactly whose civil rights DA Bragg is restricting and how?
I just looked at it and found nothing giving Congress the right to oversee a criminal indictment issued by a state court. The part you appear to be talking about would only allow ex-Pres. Trump to sue DA Bragg and the City of New York for violation of his civil rights -- though I'm not sure what grounds Trump has for that suit. Everything I see in the suit, when it talks about individuals abusing their offices to deny civil rights, grants the ability for them to be sued in the courts -- not for Congress to take action against those individuals.
Oh, the section found to be unconstitutional and that largely ended up being repealed? Again, the remaining portions allow a person to sue the offending party -- it doesn't (and even in the original) did not allow for Congressional oversight of a prosecution by a state court. Again, it does not cover what Jordan attempted to do; though it did allow the courts to deal with those involved (not Congress, as you are trying to claim).
That's a bit of a stretch. My interpretation of that section is that it refers to elected officials who are already in appointed or elected office. Donald isn't holding an appointed or elected office so that section doesn't apply to him. As for the "they're trying to get him to not run because they're scared of him" meme, there's nothing that prevents someone charged with, or even convicted of, a crime (other than insurrection) from running for or holding office. I also can't see this section is meaning people running for office can't be charged for crimes they're accused of committing.
The Ku Klux Clan act prevents depravation of rights "under color of law". Which is precisely what this is. Alvin Bragg ran for office on a platform of "getting Trump". Lo and behold here we are with Alvin Bragg trying to Get Trump. It reminds me of another case where public statements made by a political candidate were used against him after he assumed office:
Because a reasonable, objective observer—enlightened by the specific historical context, contemporaneous public statements, and specific sequence of events leading to its issuance—would conclude that the Executive Order was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion.
