Under color of law, and on the shabby pretext of fighting crime in New York City, Jim Jordan and his band of MAGA neo-McCarthyites took its Off-Broadway act to the Big Apple. They attacked the rule of law, the grand jury, and career prosecutor Al Bragg for indicting Donald Trump for felony crimes -- as if, for a change, the former president was to be held to the same standards as the rest of us.
The stunt was quickly exposed when their claim that crime had increased in NYC because Bragg has his priorities screwed up was totally debunked (homicides dropped 15% since Bragg took office.) They pointed out that Chairman Jordan's home state of Ohio, whose district borders Columbus, the state capital, has a per capita murder rate three times that of NYC.
Game. Set. match.
Jordan and his gang of legislative thugs were interfering in a pending state court prosecution--and bordering on obstruction of justice.
And while the MAGAs harass Bragg, investigate Hunter Biden's laptop, and chase after the mythical Deep State, they've done nothing to tackle our nation's real problems, including crime, or to improve the lives of Americans.
This should come as no surprise since Chairman Jordan, for all his sound and fury, hasn't been the primary sponsor of a single bill that has passed since arriving in Washington 16 years ago.
Chairman Jordan, a loud-mouthed paper tiger, feverishly pounds the table, because he can't pound the facts, with the pretext of appropriate congressional oversight exposed as a sham.
