Serving Jordan

In 2021, there were 205 Republican members of Congress and Ohio’s Jim Jordan was ranked as the 202nd most effective Republican at passing legislation. Jim Jordan is one of the worst representatives “serving” this nation in Congress. And since he refuses to serve his district by doing the job he was elected to do, he just got served.

Jim Jordan engages in political bullying and gaslighting more than he legislates. You never hear Jordan talk about actual legislation. What he does is run interference for the Republican Party and Donald Trump while attacking their political opponents. While questioning Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings (which resulted in a bunch of nothing), Jordan argued that no one had the right to withhold information from Congress. Years later, he withheld information from Congress by refusing to cooperate with the committee investigating the white nationalist terrorist attack to overturn the 2020 election and make Donald Trump Hair GropenFuhrer.

Now after refusing to cooperate with an investigation over terrorism, Jordan is chairing other investigations. One of them is into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who’s currently prosecuting Donald Trump over the secret hush money payments to silence porn star Stormy Daniels over their Las Vegas boinking. In fact, Jim Jordan announced the investigation before there was an indictment.

Jordan claims the investigations into Trump are political while he runs political interference. He plans to conduct a congressional hearing next week in Manhattan about crime in New York City, as a way to attack Bragg and accuse him of ignoring “real crimes” to go after Trump.

Democratic Representative Dan Goldman of New York said, “Instead of focusing on improving the lives of the American people, Jim Jordan has decided to come to my district at the behest of Donald Trump to continue to weaponize Congress to obstruct an ongoing, non-federal criminal prosecution. If Jordan truly cared about public safety, he’d be having a field hearing in Nashville, Tennessee, or Louisville, Kentucky, where the most recent of the daily mass shootings have killed more innocent Americans.”

While Jordan is accusing Bragg of ignoring his city, Jim Jordan is ignoring his district and state. Here’s a fun fact: Manhattan is NOT in Ohio. Did Jim Jordan run for his seat with a message on tackling crime in Manhattan?

Jordan’s little circus is scheduled for Monday in Manhattan and is titled, “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan.” There should be a hearing by Democrats in Jordan’s Ohio district titled, “Victims of Negligent Douche-Nozzle Congressmen with Ridiculous Punchable Faces.”

Jordan’s committee says that Monday’s hearing will “examine how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City residents.” Actually, there’s a decrease in violent crime in New York City, but since this is Jordan’s committee, facts are not allowed.

Before the Trump indictment, Jordan subpoenaed a former prosecutor who worked on the Trump investigation, asked another employee to turn over personal emails, and has demanded that Bragg go before Congress and give Jordan all the dirt he has on Trump (wouldn’t that be handy?). Can we expect Jordan to start an investigation on the investigation in Georgia?

Now, Bragg has sued Jordan.

Bragg’s suit says Jordan’s investigation is a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack.”

The suit filed in federal court in New York City states, “Congress has no power to supervise state criminal prosecutions. Nor does Congress have the power to serve subpoenas for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to punish those investigated.”

It also says, “The charges the District Attorney filed against Mr. Trump were approved by citizens of New York.” Jim Jordan better lock the doors to his hearing in Manhattan so Manhattanites don’t get in because most of them want to see Trump prosecuted.

It further states, “Rather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction.”

Jordan tweeted, “First, they indict a president for no crime. Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it.” Jordan’s tweet proved his sham investigation is totally political by stating that Trump was indicted for “no crime.” How does Jordan know? He’s not a lawyer and the case hasn’t been tried yet. Falsifying business records is a crime and one that’s been prosecuted a lot in Manhattan. Maybe Jordan’s little hearing can take a look at that fact.

Jim Jordan is not just a terrible representative. He doesn’t just suck at his job. He’s a horrible vile human being. He’s a liar who looks the other way while people are being sexually assaulted. He helped an insurrection try to destroy our democracy then refused to cooperate with an investigation, and now demands others to cooperate with his sham political investigations. He’s a goon who tried to throw out the Electoral College votes from 2020. He’s a sycophant who defends criminals while howling about crime in New York City.

What I want to know is, will Jim Jordan get shouted out of Manhattan faster than Marjorie Taylor Greene got out shouted off the island last week?
