Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Sunday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg doesn’t have a choice on whether to testify before Congress about possible criminal charges being levied against former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Bragg’s investigation into Trump’s alleged hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election are a federal matter and should be brought to the U.S. Department of Justice.

"This is not a local investigation, this is a federal investigation," Comer said. "He's investigating a presidential candidate, not to mention former president of the United States, for a federal election crime. That has no business being litigated in a local district attorney's office."

"And when he says he's not going to cooperate with Congress, unfortunately for Mr. Bragg, he doesn't have the luxury of determining whether or not he can comply with congressional requests, because he crossed over two levels of government, from the local level to the federal level, to try to prosecute something that clearly if there was a reason for prosecution, it should be done by the Department of Justice," he said.

And if he refuses the subpoena, the committee will vote to find him in contempt of Congress, which the House will likely do. But, alas, the D.O.J. will decline to prosecute.

Which exactly what happened with jug-eared Obama's AG Holder. That racist commie just laughed at Congress after they found him in contempt. This fat New York DA will be able to do the same thing.

I swear that our Pubbies in Congress talk tough and act tough only when they know nothing will get done. If we take all of Congress and the Presidency back I expect the Pubbies to hem and haw and do nothing, just like Hastert, Boehner, and Ryan did. Look for McCarthy to do the same and protect the swamp. Nothing is really getting done right now with McCarthy in charge and even the J6 videos are now locked up as Tucker Carlson has his orders to cease and desist.

We are still being used and lied to.

Democrats had absolutely no problem putting swatting people who Didn’t comply and putting them jail.
The current Congress should t hesitate here.

They can't Swat anybody. That was the DOJ via their ties to the Dem President and the Dem-run Congress. Now that the Pubbies run the House the DOJ will refuse to take any actions against their commie partners.
