According to Comer, both county attorneys were Republicans, and the two states heavily lean towards Republican politics. He opined that the Democrats have "opened a can of worms" and set a dangerous precedent for the judicial system.
"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.

The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, accused Trump and his associates of using a "catch and kill" scheme to bury damaging information that could hurt Trump's 2016 election bid. Bragg further alleged that Trump deliberately made 34 false entries in New York business records to cover any criminal activity.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Bragg revealed that he was asked why the second alleged concealed crime wasn't specified in the indictment. In response, Bragg stated that the law doesn't require the indictment to name the second crime, and he cited that the New York state election law makes it a criminal offense to promote an unlawful candidacy.
