Former President George W. Bush’s press secretary Ari Fleischer called for conservative prosecutors to indict Bill and Hillary Clinton in response to Alvin Bragg charging former president Donald Trump. He said:
“One of the raps against Donald Trump is that he violates the norms and as a result the Democrats had no choice, prosecutors had no choice. What’s happened to Donald Trump is actually the real violation of the norms.
“He was impeached the first time by a process that did not even go through the Judiciary Committee. They’ve wrecked a bipartisan intelligence committee at the hands of Adam Schiff to get Donald Trump.
“The second time they tried to impeach him, knowing they would not succeed, they didn’t even go through that process.
“They went right on the floor and shoved it down everybody’s throats. And now you have a prosecutor in an overwhelmingly lopsidedly ideologically Democrat, 85-15 Democrat to Republican Manhattan going after Donald Trump.
“Here’s what I hope happens.
“I earnestly hope that conservative prosecutors in rural areas of America indict Bill Clinton, indict Hillary Clinton, indict Hunter Biden.
“The only way to stop this and return to the norms is for one side to realize if they go too far, the other will match them.
“That’s not the way we settle our disputes in America. They should be settled at the ballot box and not through the courts.
“But Republicans cannot unilaterally disarm.
“You can’t let them try to interfere in the 2024 election by doing to Donald Trump what they’re doing.
“And I say as someone who criticized Donald Trump when he goes too far. Democrats are violating the norms, and they are especially doing it through this weak case in Manhattan,” he said.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said earlier that 2 GOP DA’s called him asking about going after the Bidens:
“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.
“The fact that I’m sitting here watching what happened to Donald Trump yesterday, knowing what all the Bidens have been engaged in and the shenanigans and the bank violations that we’re privy to right now at the Treasury Cabinet.
“Where the banks pointed out all of the potential money laundering and they, the banks couldn’t explain all the different transfers and all the different LLCs…
“It’s just breathtaking.
“So I hope the media is serious about the evidence that will be we’ll continue to be bringing forward about the Biden family, as they have been about this ridiculous political stunt that happened in New York yesterday with Donald Trump.
“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 Bidens now.
“And they’ve 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,” he said.
