BRAGG's ENDORSERS
-- what they knew, when --

BRAGG ENDORSER:  THE NEW YORK TIMES
For more than 30 years, CJA has furnished The NY Times, including its editorial board, with ALL the EVIDENCE that underlies the systemic governmental corruption, involving the NYS Attorney General -- and culminating in the CJA v. Cuomo...Schneiderman...DiFiore citizen-taxpayer action, of which, in 2018, Bragg was demonstrably knowledgeable & collusive. In the context of the 2018 electoral races, where Zephyr Teachout was 1st treasurer to Democratic gubernatorial contender Cynthia Nixon vs Gov Cuomo -- and then herself a candidate for the Democratic nomination for AG -- this also involved covering up Teachout's knowledge and complicity in all the corruption that The Times had been concealing, for years -- including that the D.A.-stacked Commission to Investigate Public Corruption was corrupt, as likewise such supposed anti-corruption crusaders as former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.  The Times outrightly rigs elections by its reporting and editorializing -- and this is EASILY PROVEN, over and again.  As to 2020, when ALL NYS's 213 state legislative seats were on the ballot -- & 15 D.A. races -- The Times, in tandem with NYC's other so-called "credible", "trustworthy" "local journalism", did not see fit to report ANYTHING about CJA's FULLY-DOCUMENTED 62 grand jury/public corruption complaints vs NYS' 213 state legislators pertaining to their OWN pay raises and the Legislature's OWN budget that NYS' 62 D.A.s were ALL sitting on, while most of them were running for re-election -- including NYC's five D.A.s and involving NYC's 92 state legislators.  Insofar as the elections this year, in the weeks prior to The Times' May 27, 2021 editorial "Alvin Bragg for D.A.", I sent its journalists and editorial board two e-mails alerting them to the impact of the legislative pay raise issue to NYC's most important electoral races, including for Manhattan D.A. -- and furnished them the link to CJA's 2021 election webpage, posting 3 of the 5 grand jury/public corruption complaints that NYC's D.A.s are sitting on.   Here's my May 4, 2021 e-mail and May 13, 2021 e-mail to The Times.

BRAGG ENDORSER: FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN &
FORMER BROOKLYN D.A. ELIZABETH HOLTZMAN
On May 18, 2018, in the context of her candidacy to be appointed interim AG, she was a recipient of the SAME May 18, 2018 e-mail as Bragg transmitting CJA's May 18, 2018 letter to AG candidates, with its attached May 16, 2018 letter/NOTICE to Acting AG Underwood
 
BRAGG ENDORSER: LAW PROFESSOR &
FORMER DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE
& AG CANDIDATE ZEPHYR TEACHOUT
CJA's outreach to Teachout pertaining to the corruption that culminated in the CJA v. Cuomo...Schneiderman...DiFiore citizen-taxpayer action goes back to 2014, when she was seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, continued in 2016, and throughout 2018, and then a further instance in 2019. On July 16, 2018, in the context of her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for AG, she rec'd, in hand, the above May 16, 2018 letter/NOTICE & May 18, 2018 letter, PLUS brief & 3-volume record in CJA v. Cuomo,...Schneiderman...DiFiore -- See, here & here

BRAGG ENDORSER: FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NY PREET BHARARA
CJA's outreach to Bharara goes back to April 15, 2013, when I hand-delivered to his U.S. Attorney's Office, in Manhattan, a fact-specific, FULLY-DOCUMENTED criminal complaint pertaining to the collusion of NYS' highest constitutional officers of its three government branches in fraudulent judicial pay raises -- and a slush-fund state budget, enacted by fraud.  I publicly testified about the complaint at the September 17, 2013 hearing of the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption, at which Bharara also testified -- and, prior thereto, and thereafter, furnished him with further prima facie, open-and-shut EVIDENCE, upon which to indict a "who's who" of corrupt NYS public officers and those in complicity with them, including the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption, whose files he procured -- and JCOPE, which he purported to be independently investigating. Bharara covered up EVERYTHING & his perpetuation of New York's "culture of corruption", while posturing as an anti-corruption "crusader" -- and so depicted by the press when the OPPOSITE was true -- has, for years, been featured, prominently, by a center link on our homepage, www.judgewatch.org, entitled "Exposing the Fraud of the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption -- & Preet:
NY's UNTOUCHED "culture of corruption" -- Pay Raises, JCOPE, Judicial & Attorney Discipline, etc". His criminal nonfeasance underlies the CJA v. Cuomo...Schneiderman...DiFiore citizen-taxpayer action.  My most recent contact with Bharara -- which was direct, in person -- was on September 6, 2018 following the debate between Democratic AG candidates -- Teachout, among them -- that he co-moderated with Brian Lehrer, when I gave him, in hand, the September 5, 2018 e-mail addressed to the Lehrer -- with cc's to the Democratic AG candidates (with 3 e-mail addresses going to Teachout) -- concerning Bharara's pivotal role in perpetuating New York's corruption, of which the AG and district attorneys were central operators.  The May 16, 2018 letter/NOTICE & May 18, 2018 letter were attachments.

BRAGG ENDORSER: JENNIFER RODGERS
Ms. Rodgers, who held senior positions under U.S. Attorney Bharara, went on to be, until 2018, executive director of the minomered "Center for the Advancement of Public Integrity" at Columbia University Law School, and remains on its advisory board.  She is fully knowledgeable of the corruption that was the subject of my April 15, 2013 complaint to Bharara and its perpetuation and metastasy thereafter, culminating in the CJA v. Cuomo...Schneiderman...DiFiore citizen-taxpayer action that the AG's office corrupted, in tandem with NY's judges.  CJA's 2019 correspondence to her -- in the context of seeking amicus curiae and other assistance for the case, before the Court of Appeals, includes an April 30, 2019 e-mail, a May 3, 2019 e-mail, and a July 1, 2019 e-mail.
