WATCH: James Comer Goes Off on Prospective ‘Unconstitutional’ Gag Order On Trump

Representative James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, broke no bones over his concerns about a prospective gag order on Trump that would prevent the former president from talking about his case to the public. Mr. Comer wrote that “The Manhattan DA’s moves were political from the very beginning. Now the NY DA may seek an unconstitutional gag order. To even contemplate stifling the speech of the former commander in chief & presidential candidate is at odds with everything America stands for.”

In the video attached to the post, the Republican lawmaker was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News and spoke in more detail about his thoughts on this matter. Bartiromo started the interview by asking if Mr. Comer is willing to subpoena Mr. Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney. Comer after stating how politicized this case was said “we are gonna use whatever means necessary” to compel Mr. Bragg to testify to Congress and further said that “we are concerned about…election interference and…wasteful spending.”

Bartiromo pressed on “what could you do about it? You don’t have a willing DOJ.” The representative noted that “this was a trend” that “there is a two tiered system of justice in America…I think we are going to have to do something about the funding. We believe that tax dollars are being misspent with the DOJ’s continued weaponization…to go after conservatives.”

Representative Comer previously defended Trump in public on the merits of his case. He wrote that “[t]he Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has weaponized his office to launch a blatantly political indictment. This case rests on a far-fetched legal theory untested anywhere in the U.S. The American people deserve better than this cheap, political stunt.”

When Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,  was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on this score as well. He pledged that “[e]verything’s on the table, Maria. We’re going to talk with the other chairmen and look at the response.” Mr. Jordan emphasized that “[t]his is about all of us. This is about going after anyone who opposes the left’s agenda, the establishment’s agenda. And that’s maybe the most scary thing of all.”

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Representative Austin Scott (R-GA) is considering removing prosecutorial immunity for those who engage in political lawfare like Alvin Bragg is doing. The Georgian representative’s exact words were that “I think you’re going to have to look at prosecutorial misconduct and whether or not prosecutors in this country should be exempt from liability.”

Mr. Bragg has also in his letter to Congress admitted that federal tax payer money was used to pay for his indictment of a former president. The House Judiciary GOP tweeted in response to this revelation  that “Alvin Bragg admitted to using YOUR federal tax dollars to indict President Trump. Outrageous.”

Outrageous.
