Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) had harsh words for Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba over her prosecution of Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ).
On Monday, Habba announced she is prosecuting McIver in connection with the lawmaker’s visit to an ICE detention facility in Newark this month, accusing McIver of “assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement. McIver and Reps. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) toured the facility as part of their congressional oversight authority. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was also there and was arrested that day. Habba, who reveled in Baraka’s arrest the day it happened, announced she is dropping the charges against the mayor.
Goldman, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, appeared on Tuesday’s edition of The Weeknight on MSNBC, where co-host Symone Sanders accused the Trump administration of a series of escalations regarding the politicians’ visit to the ICE facility. “And they’re escalating the situation yet again on a sitting member of Congress,” she said. “What are Democrats gonna do?”
“Well, there are a couple of things that certainly we will do, which is why I’m here,” Goldman replied. “We’re talking about it, calling out why this is such trash, and this is absolutely improper and unacceptable. What I find to be interesting is within 30 days, a prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Jersey is gonna have to go to the grand jury and present evidence and ask a grand jury to file an indictment.” The congressman went on to say that despite Habba’s claim to have indicted McIver, the prosecutor had not actually secured one.

So she lied about having already convened a grand jury who already brought an indictment?

Eat her lunch.
One - the video is clear that she didn't do what Habbadabbadoo is saying she did.
Two - it looks not only political - but racially motivated. A direct attack on a Black woman.
Three - The case will be heard in NJ.
As the atrocities of this Administration pile up - does anyone REALLY believe that McIver will be found guilty?
This is the same thing that happened in 2017. NJ revolted.
I've met she and her parents through my husband's work.
They are all a collective piece of arrogant, uppity work.
PS - My husband pointed out that her father looks and walks like Gru in Minions, and now I can't unsee it. It's true. 
Yeah Alina, you totally aren't racist.
