Jim Jordan: Chutzpah

[dawg day]

You know the old joke about the definition of "chutzpah"==

The man who killed his parents who asks the judge for mercy because he's an orphan.

Well, Congressman Jim Jordan "Freedom Caucus" did that today.

He called for another special counsel to investigate the FBI because, he says, they're obviously corrupt at the top and this is why they are investigating Trump. He pointed to the firing and reassignment of most of the top officials as evidence that something must be rotten in the FBI, else why would they be so bad they were fired?

You remember those guys-- Comey, and all the aides Comey told about Trump's obstruction of justice attempts. IOW, Trump fired/reassigned them to get rid of them and taint them as witnesses, and Jordan uses their firing as evidence that they had it in for Trump-- not that Trump had it in for them.

It's breathtaking. I know I shouldn't say this, but I sure hope law enforcement officers notice how in their worship/coverup of Trump, the GOP is trying to make the FBI the enemy of the US. And they should also notice especially how McCabe and Comey-- not perfect men by any means-- have been treated terribly by Trump and the GOP after spending their adult lives in federal service.

4. I wish TV talking heads would

ask people like this asshole to explain exactly what they mean when they say that Comey et al. had it in for Trump. What, precisely, did Comey do or say that indicates he had it in for Trump? And don't let them bluster and obfuscate; take time and make them answer fully.

I'm sick and tired of Trump saying that this or that is "terrible" or "horrible" when I don't think he has any idea of what he's talking about. I want someone to be able to explain why the Iran deal, for example, is such a bad deal. And when he spouts some shit about it not being verifiable or something, hit him with the facts. Make him explain how the money that belonged to Iran was a "payoff" when it was returned as part of the deal. Make him explain why he stresses the fact that the money was returned in cash--I know he doesn't understand that as part of the sanctions, Iran had no way to keep money in US banks, and cash was the only way it could be transferred.

It will never happen, but a girl can wish.

Seriously, Ohio?

Smug as shit, and mean and nasty. A world-clad smart-ass. I bet he was a bully on the playground. I bet he ratted people out all the time and relished getting them in trouble. One of THOSE.
