The Democrats have tried everything to stop Donald Trump – they are scared he will win again in 2024.
Their latest attempt is through Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
It might end up backfiring on them in a big way.
House Oversight Committee Chairman revealed in an interview on Fox and Friends that two Republican county attorneys reached out to him about how they can go after Joe Biden.
Comer warned Democrats that “they’ve set precedents now that we can’t go back on.”
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said that two county attorneys from Tennessee and Kentucky have asked him how they can “go after” the Biden’s following Former President Trump’s indictment.
…
“And I’ll tell you, one of the things that I don’t think it’s been picked up a lot that’s going to be a problem. And I had two calls yesterday, one from a county attorney in Kentucky and one from a county attorney in Tennessee. They were Republican, obviously, both states are heavily Republican. They want to know if there are ways they can go after the Biden’s now,” Comer said.
He added that the Democrats have “opened a can of worms.”
“They’ve set precedents now that we can’t go back on. And now we’re going to see a judicial system that’s already bogged down with doing what they’re supposed to do, and that’s going after real criminals, people that are committing real crimes, burglaries, rape, robberies, things like that. And now you’re going to start having ambitious political people like Alvin Bragg try to make a name for themselves and go after big pie-in-the-sky federal cases. And it’s just not a good path that we need to go forward on in our judiciary,” Comer said.

“I’ll tell you one of the things that I don’t think has been picked up a lot that’s gonna be a problem. I had two calls yesterday, one from a county attorney in Kentucky, one from a country attorney in Tennessee. They were Republican obviously both states are heavily Republican, they want to know if there are ways they can go after the Biden’s now and they have opened up a can of worms, they set precedents now, that we can’t go back on.”
Comer also discussed the GOP’s plans to hold DA Bragg accountable.
Ainsley Earhardt followed up by asking Comer about the House GOP’s plans to go after Bragg. “I wonder how this will affect the next election, because you’re watching those images of his motorcade driving down the FDR yesterday. We’re watching images of him in a courtroom. We never thought that would ever happen. It’s never happened before,”
…
“Well, we’re going to be having a call with McCarthy later this week, Jim Jordan and myself. And we’re going to try to figure out a path moving forward. This is very serious. Alvin Bragg doesn’t even know where his funding comes from, but he gets federal funding and that’s where it falls into the jurisdiction of the House Oversight Committee. The weaponization of his office is how it falls into both the Judiciary Committee and the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Department of Justice. So we’re, we’re not going to stop on this. Nothing changed. We believe that he’s overstepped,” Comer replied, adding:

Republicans in Congress must stand up to the Democrats’ abuse of power.
