Pathetic Jim Jordan Wants DOJ To Explain To Him How The Law Works

Republican Congressman Jim Jordan loves to show the public how stupid he is, and he proved it once again at the end of last week by sending a letter to the Department of Justice demanding that they address a conspiracy theory from one of Trump's co-defendant's lawyers. The lawyer, Stanley Woodward, claims that the DOJ pressured a witness into flipping on Trump, and Jordan wants an explanation of why this happened. But what he's really asking is for the DOJ to explain how criminal proceedings work because he's an idiot, as Farron Cousins explains.

Jim Jordan, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Even after getting that verbal but written SmackDown from Fannie Willis late last week, Jim Jordan decides he's not done being humiliated. So he is now forcing the Department of Justice if he can, to chase conspiracy theories by a disgruntled lawyer for Donald Trump's valet. Walt Nada. So here's what's happening. Last week it was revealed that useful to varus the former IT manager at Mar-a-Lago, uh, after giving testimony a while back under oath that he later had to switch. 'cause the D O J was like, Hey man, uh, we caught you lying under oath here. That's perjury. You wanna stick with that or you wanna work out a deal so we don't have to charge you. Mr. Tavares has now agreed, as reports told us last week to flip, and he is going to testify against Donald Trump and likely Walt Nada as well.

Tavares, his new testimony says, of course, that Donald Trump instructed them to delete the server footage from Mar-a-Lago. Now, Mr. Woodward, Stanley Woodward is Walt Nots attorney, and after this information came out that Mr. Tavares had decided to flip, Woodward goes out there and gives a press conference, and I talked about this last week, and, uh, he's basically saying like, oh, the d o j acted in properly. They, they pressured him to cooperate. Well, Jim Jordan sees this, and Jordan's like, Ooh, it's my gotcha moment for Jack Smith. So he sends a letter under seal to the special prosecutor, Jack Smith and the D O J, and he says, Hey, listen, I've heard, you know, this one raving guy is says, you acted improperly. So I need all of your communications, any conversations you've had with Woodward about Woodward, about tavas, about Walt nta. Give me everything you've got so I can make sure there's nothing improper happening here.

Now, what Jim Jordan is really trying to do is have the D O J explain to him how criminal prosecutions and criminal investigations work. Jim Jordan does not have a law degree, and in my opinion, Jim Jordan is not a smart guy. So it's understandable that he would send a letter to the D O J saying, duh, I don't know what's going on. How's about you guys? Explain it to me. Right? Because that's basically what this is. Mr. Woodward, in addition to alleging impro, uh, improper, uh, influence on the witness also says that at one point, you know, a year or so ago, one of the prosecutors asked him like, Hey, didn't you apply for like a federal judgeship? And he's like, and see, that's like, do you, uh, uh, no you

Can't. Like, why would you do that? So Jim Jordan included that in the letter, which has nothing to do with anything, but Woodward's tried to say like, they were pressuring me as well to get my clients to flip. And here's the thing, even if that did happen, that's not improper. That's, that's not illegal. And in fact, as I said the other day, that's common. What Jim Jordan doesn't understand and what Mr. Woodward is trying to really just like, you know, twist, is that things like this, and, and Mr. Woodward knows this, but Jim Jordan doesn't 'cause he is an idiot. This happens every day in criminal investigations across the country. Prosecutors will use whatever leverage they have to get people to cooperate in their investigations so that they can go after the bigger fish, right? Okay, we've got some minnows here. We don't really need the minnows, we need the big fish.

And Mr. Woodward was basically representing the minnows. So if they brought up like, Hey, weren't you applying for a federal judgeship? You know, as he said, going after his reputation, um, that could be a way to be like, Hey, listen, we know you've got higher goals.
