Jim Jordan: Trump 'Right on Target' to Suggest Executions for Clinton Campaign Aides

[Zorro]

MAGA-boosting Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) declared on Sunday morning that former President Donald Trump was “right on target” with his statement reacting to the latest developments in the Durham probe—a statement that suggested executions for Clinton-linked operatives.

After Fox News reported that Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion alleging that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers tied to Trump, the ex-president blared that the “latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham”—yes, he got Durham’s name wrong—had provided “indisputable evidence” that he and his campaign were “spied on” by the Clinton campaign.

“In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death,” Trump added. Asked to react to the Durham filing and Trump’s response on Fox & Friends Weekend, Jordan said the “spying” was “worse than we thought” before agreeing wholeheartedly with Trump’s response.

“We’ve never seen anything like this in history,” Jordan exclaimed. “So President Trump’s statement yesterday, I think is right on target. This is truly unprecedented, truly something that has never happened in the history of our great country.”

1. projecting again?

“We’ve never seen anything like this in history,” Jordan exclaimed. --------------- This is truly unprecedented, truly something that has never happened in the history of our great country.”

this is true, however he is talking about the wrong administration!

[calimary]

5. I'd say so.

It's part of a pattern over there on that side of the aisle.

Projection.

Accuse your opponent(s) of doing exactly what YOU YOURSELF are now, or have been, doing.

[PatSeg]

20. Yep, they are so predictable

The same old tired routine over and over again.

[grumpyduck]

2. And how the hell is this legal?

As in, WTF???????

[Lovie777]

4. it's not . ..

now Democrats have targets. This is a damn shame.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yep, this and Trump's comments are dog whistles to the cult.

It's now open season on Democrats. If they think this is going to stop them from being prosecuted, they are deluded.

[Blue Owl]

3. Jordan then proceeded to lovingly and tenderly lick tRump's clogged toilet

[Lovie777]

6. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww . . .

[Marcuse]

7. More projection

June, 2021. Trump’s Justice Department May Be More Corrupt Than Anyone Realized
The inspector general is now reviewing why the DOJ secretly obtained the data of Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and others

[Brainfodder]

8. Just more smoke and mud for the dumb who STILL "believe"?

Comics villain level super obvious crap that just doesn't register in dim bulb brains?

Why hasn't Fox News been destroyed already for their role in this, that amazes me, the restraint on one side, and the total lacking on the other?

Can't last though.

Getting idiots to believe MSM is lying, and FN is truth, that is one hell of a bridge they sold them with giant holes in the support beams?

[milestogo]

9. Executions.

Such utterly misplaced moral outrage.

[Hekate]

10. The projection is strong with this one

Something must be wrong with me. It struck me as so freaking ludicrous that I laughed and laughed. And laughed some more. Do they not even see themselves?

Maybe I’m finally cracking.

[Captain Zero]

11. So is there anything to this Fox News Report. True/False

I don't mean to sound like a fox news boy but it does say this.
It's "indistbutable"?
Is there anything to this, or is it loudmouths talking?

After Fox News reported that Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion alleging that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers tied to Trump, the ex-president blared that the “latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham”—yes, he got Durham’s name wrong—had provided “indisputable evidence” that he and his campaign were “spied on” by the Clinton campaign.

[WarGamer]

12. Ignore the Faux News report.

Look at the filing of Special Counsel Durham... of the DoJ...

You can get the allegations straight from the investigator and skip the bullshit from Faux News.

[bluestarone]

13. Just more meat for his dumb ass base

FUCK all of these assholes.

[Deuxcents]

14. "In a stronger period of time in our country"

What did we do with pedophiles, rapists, tax cheats, those who commit adultery?

[PortTack]

24. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

What’s not to absolutely loathe about him??!!

[Celerity]

15. Trump: "In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death"

When?

Answer: NEVER

Only one person has ever been executed for treason in the US:

William Bruce Mumford, who was convicted of treason and hanged in 1862 for tearing down a United States flag during the American Civil War. However, this was under martial law, not Article Three of the United States Constitution.

[patphil]

16. Are you kidding me?

Trump just announced that, if he had the power to do it, he'd execute his political enemies.
It's a dark vision of what he has in store for us if he's reelected and controls Congress.

How very Putinesk of him. But then what would you expect of an immature man/boy trying to gain approval from his father figure.
Very scary indeed!

[jmowreader]

17. Let's see if I've got this

First, John Durham pulled an allegation out of his fourth point of contact.

Then, Trump wants people executed because of Durham's fantasy.

Next, Jim Jordan says Trump is exactly right.

Two things must be pointed out here.

First, I seem to remember that Trump won the electoral vote in 2016 and was therefore installed as president.

And second, our prisons currently contain a lot of people who were locked up for mishandling a lot less classified information than Trump took with him to Florida after he left office. In a "stronger period of time in our country" Trump would already be making license plates.

[Chainfire]

23. I wonder if Trump even realizes that that campaign is over?

You would think that he had bigger fish to fry at this time. That is unless, of course, he is going with the three year old's legal defense, "Well mom, Johnny did it and he can still watch TV." Of course, expect the SC to confirm that on appeal...

All of this weekly arising drama is just a distraction. The president of the United States organized and executed an attempt to overthrow our country by destroying Democracy in order to install himself as a dictator. He wants you to be concerned with his misdemeanors and worried about him wiping his butt with the daily agenda.

I would bet that If our founders could speak to us from the past, they would be asking why we haven't hung him yet? and questioning us as to, "Do you want to live under an ignorant, evil dictator?" "Hell, we could have saved a lot of trouble and kept King George!" "What the hell is wrong with you people?"

You get the government you deserve.

27. Good point, well said. n/t

[spanone]

19. The republican party needs a top to bottom purging.

The entirety are out of their fucking minds.

21. The latest Durham filing is another nothingburger

I read the filing last night and was amused. There is nothing in this filing that proves anything.

I was amused to find this thread on Durham's latest nothingburger

22. Is TIM RYAN running against this monster?

I think that is true. Maybe we should all donate to Tim Ryan NOW.

[SKKY]

25. This sounds to me like nothing more than opposition research...

...every campaign does it. Kinda boring if you ask me.

[Deuxcents]

26. Who paid for this ?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Fox segment throws cold water on MAGA's new plan to jail Hillary Clinton

When Fox is down on this report, you know that it is bogus

Speaking about the filing, Washington Examiner reporter Byron York revealed there wasn't much "there" there.

'I don't read a lot into this," said York. "But I would say as far as Durham is concerned and a lot of Republicans and especially the strongest Trump supporters, a lot of them have been disappointed in Durham. Frankly, because I think they have expectations that are too high. Some Trump supporters are really not going to be happy unless they saw James Comey or Hillary Clinton lead out of a door in handcuffs."

This, he explained, is never going to happen. Nor will Durham find something suddenly that results in President Joe Biden being kicked out of office and Trump reinstated.

Durham was appointed by Trump to investigate former Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Oct. 19, 2020, which is 482 days ago. Robert Mueller's investigation lasted 674 days and resulted in 34 indictments of individuals and three companies. Thus far, Durham has indicted a lawyer who once worked for Democrats. In subsequent filings, including this most recent one, Durham hasn't made any indictments nor has a grand jury.

29. Jordan should be careful whose death warrant he wants issued

18 US Code, §2381, Treason:

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death,........."

There are lesser penalties listed as well, but if he is out for blood, he should apply his standards universally, even if that means applying them to himself (no wonder he didn't want those phone records disclosed).

[Hotler]

30. The repugs (fascist) sure are consumed with killing Democrats.

They can't wait.
