Home Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) has introduced that he will likely be investigating Trump prosecuting Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Jordan wrote to Willis in part:
We’re in possession of a letter, dated December 17, 2021, and enclosed herein, from you to Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman of the partisan January 6 Choose Committee, requesting entry to congressional “records that may be relevant to our criminal investigation.”Particularly, you requested Rep. Thompson for entry to “record [sic] includ[ing] but . . . not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.”8 You even provided that you just and your workers had been desperate to journey to Washington, D.C, to “meet with investigators in person” and to obtain these data “any time” between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022.”
Though it’s not clear what data, if any, you obtained out of your coordination with the partisan January 6 Choose Committee, this new info raises extra questions related to the Committee’s oversight of your politically motivated prosecution of a former President of the USA and several other former senior federal officers. The partisan January 6 Choose Committee had a troubling monitor document of procedural abuses and due course of violations. It solely solicited proof from a choose set of related people, ignored exculpatory proof, and didn’t pursue witnesses with proof that may not advance its partisan narrative. It fabricated and publicly launched doctored proof. It cherry-picked selective info to create false and deceptive public narratives.12 To the extent that your politically motivated prosecutions are actually relying in any manner on data obtained from the partisan January 6 Choose Committee, it solely reinforces considerations about your dedication to due course of and whether or not you could have fulfilled your obligations to correctly disclose this materials.
The request that Willis made was frequent. Prosecutors usually ask to see proof collected in different investigations. Jordan additionally managed to achieve an Orwellian stage of nonsense by claiming that the bipartisan 1/6 Committee was partisan.
There’s zero authorized foundation for something that Jordan claimed in his letter, however the legislation isn’t the purpose.
Rep. Jordan is making an attempt to smear DA Willis and the RICO prosecution of Donald Trump. Jordan’s motives are political, as he’s once more abusing his oversight energy to attempt to assist Donald Trump politically.
Chairman Jordan has zero in a single day authority over DA Willis, and it’ll not be a shock when she tells him to go pound sand and turns over nothing.
Fani Willis is placing Trump on trial and Jim Jordan appears scared.
