  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agrees to testify before Congress following Trump verdict

Bragg’s office has resisted calls to testify before Congress citing the ongoing case against the former president, but in a letter Friday to GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bragg stated his willingness to testify at a future date.
Testimony set for July 12th

Manhattan DA Bragg, who secured Trump conviction, to testify before GOP-led House Judiciary Committee


In related news, there was a ridiculous scene in Judiciary today:

Jim Jordan takes Matt Gaetz to the woodshed for derailing Trump conviction hearing

Moments after the hearing got underway on Thursday, Chairman Jordan called on Gaetz to question witnesses for five minutes. However, Gaetz offered a motion to subpoena Bragg and Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo.

"Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th," Jordan observed. "If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed. I would ask the gentleman if he could withdraw the motion."

[no dice] "I want to vote on my motion, or I want someone to move to table it," the Florida Republican demanded.

[Democrat motion to tab.... *record scratch*]

"Committee will stand in recess," Jordan ordered.
