Jim Jordan Just Made The Biggest Mistake Of His Career

No one has ever accused Jim Jordan of being smart. Jordan's latest efforts to defend Trump are about to blow up in his face, as he has now issued a subpoena to Mark Pomerantz to come and testify about the Trump investigation in Manhattan. Pomerantz is the prosecutor who famously resigned from Bragg's team because Bragg wouldn't prosecute Trump for financial fraud, so bringing him into Congress is only going to reveal MORE potential crimes from Trump. This might be the dumbest political move Jordan has ever made, as Farron Cousins explains.

No one has ever accused House judiciary chair, uh, chairman Jim Jordan of being smart and based on his latest subpoena, no one will ever accuse Jim Jordan of being smart. See, Jim Jordan has realized, as I've said, uh, this past week, that he can't go after, uh, Alvin Bragg up in Manhattan. You know, he's has, has no federal dollars. He's not a federal employee. So there's nothing Jim Jordan can do to make that guy come and testify. Even if he subpoenas him, he can challenge it in court and Bragg's gonna win. But Jim Jordan, aha. He thinks he's smart. He's like, well, what if I get somebody that doesn't work for you? Alvin Bragg, what if I find somebody who used to work for you but doesn't anymore and is out there doing a media tour? Then they'll have to come and testify. So, aha, I got you. And I'm sending a subpoena, which Jim Jordan did late last week to Mark Pomerance, the former prosecutor who famously resigned from Alvin Bragg's team last year because he was so frustrated that Bragg was not moving forward with indictments against Donald Trump for financial crimes. So yes, doesn't that seem like the smartest person for Jim Jordan to bring in to Congress to testify about what happened at that office?

Mark Pomerance, as I said, he is got a new book out, so he is doing his media tour. And Jim Jordan, when issuing the subpoena, uh, mentioned the media and he said, as a result, you have no basis to decline to testify about matters before the committee that you have already discussed in your book and or on a primetime television program with an audience in the millions, including on the basis of any purported duty of cons, confidentiality, or privilege interest. He also said, based on your unique role as a special assistant district attorney leading the investigation into President Trump's finances, your uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary to inform the committee's oversight and potential legislative reforms. You're picking a fight with a man who recently admitted that he and former Manhattan DA Sivan actually had written out indictments against Donald Trump and you, Jim Jordan, loyal Trump supporter, think it's a smart idea to bring this man into Congress and have him testify under oath about those crimes that Donald Trump allegedly committed in New York and was almost indicted for. Why is that smart? Can anybody, anyone out there at all explain to me why this makes sense? Like, Jim, are

You trying to convince the public that Donald Trump is a horrible criminal that should be locked behind bars forever? Because that's what Pomerance is going to say. Like Pomerance is not going to say the things that you think he is like, oh, the office is dysfunctional. Uh, sometimes we don't wear pants. Like, I don't know what you want him to say, but I can promise you whatever it is you want him to say, he ain't gonna say it. And instead he's gonna say some pretty horrible and damning things about your guy Trump. And that's gonna be in the congressional record at that point.

So I hope even though you in the letter like you can't refuse this subpoena subpoena, I don't think Pomerance wants to refuse it. I think he knows like, Hey, this is gonna be a good way to sell books. Hey, this is gonna be my chance to tell the story to the world. Hey, this is gonna be my chance to maybe pressure brag to go forward with the other criminal charges that we know he needs to do. It doesn't matter what Pomerance wants to say, or whatever his reasoning is, I can promise you this is going to blow up in Jim Jordan's face and will be viewed as the biggest mistake of his political career.
