Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tried to defend Donald Trump with an odd warning that even his critics agreed with ― but it probably wasnt quite the reaction he was aiming for.

Trump was indicted on 37 counts related to the classified documents scandal, including charges centered on the alleged mishandling of sensitive information and for obstruction of justice.
Given the nature of those allegations ― and the fact that others accused of similar crimes are routinely prosecuted and sentenced to prison ― Jordans critics were quick to point out that the FBI did exactly what its supposed to.
And that, they said, is true regardless or whether or not someone is a presidential candidate:

(42,931 posts)Jim Jordan was deeply involved in the attempted coup to overturn the 2020 Election
The net is tightening around Jimbo. As more damning text messages, testimony and phone call records encircle the pint-sized pol from Urbana, Jim Jordan should be breaking out in a cold sweat. The 4th District U.S. congressman should be squirming in his shirt sleeves with each new revelation trickling out about his behind-the-scenes treachery leading up to and including Jan. 6.
After all, a sitting member of Congress publicly exposed as a central player in a nefarious plot to overturn a certified election should be toast, right? Someone who willfully chose loyalty to a megalomaniac over allegiance to country should be forced to slink into oblivion as a scorned turncoat, right? Jordan, we are fast learning, was deeply involved in the attempted coup to overthrow our government of the people. He conspired to cancel the 2020 votes cast by millions of his fellow Americans and reverse the outcome of a decided election for his Il Duce.
What the Ohio Republican did was nothing short of treasonous and we dont know the half of it yet.
But Jordan doesnt care what the select U.S. House committee investigating Jan. 6 finds out about his dirty work to destroy the democracy he swore to support and defend. Not at all. You may be stunned by new disclosures of how far he was willing to go to keep a loser in power, his overtures to the White House, furtive meetings with fellow plotters to circumvent the Constitution, forwarded plans to have the vice president unilaterally determine the results of the 2020 election by refusing to count the certified electoral votes of the winner.

(90,497 posts)Yes, it sets him apart.
Yes, it's a way to get noticed.
Yes, it's a way to stick out.
And yes it's a way to single you out for your idiocy and mad-dog "look-at-ME!" ego.
Many of us recognize your game, dude. You may be fooling your own constituents, but you don't fool the rest of us.

(4,002 posts)Opening your mouth and convicting yourself is very Trumplike. Jordan is guilty if being just plain stupid.
