Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan ran to Fox News to b*tch and moan about being sued by DA Alvin Bragg over his interference with Manhattan's indictment of Trump.

Fox News host Bret Baier read off the charges Bragg made against Jordan's immoral interference in the Manhattan DA's prosecution of Trump.

"Your response, Mr. Chairman?" Baier asked.

"They're obstructing our investigation, Brett," Jordan said without giggling. "We have a constitutional duty to get to the facts, particularly when you have a district attorney interfering with the most important election we have, which is the election of the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States."

Congress has no authority over state prosecutions, and Jordan knows this. He's playing his usual brand of performative grievance politics.

"Alvin Bragg used federal funds to indict a former president for no crime, and then when we ask questions about it -- when we want to investigate, he takes us to court," Jordan whined.

It's not up to Jordan to decide "no criminal act has taken place" in New York.

After more crying and speed talking, Jordan again made the nonsensical case that he's not obstructing Bragg; it's Bragg obstructing Jordan.

"They're obstructing our constitutional duty to do oversight," Jordan claimed.

Jordan had no qualms when House Republicans spent years targeting Hillary Clinton with at first, a bogus investigation of the tragic Benghazi incident, and then her emails, when she was running for the presidency.

HRC did something Trump would never do. She faced Congressional questioning for over ten hours under oath.

Hillary Clinton couldn't be charged with a crime because she broke no laws and she made Republicans look weak and ineffective.

Chairman Jordan is more focused on defending Trump and throwing red meat to the MAGA cult than actually doing his duty as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
