Jim Jordan Vows To Defund The Police So Trump Can't Be Prosecuted - Farron Balanced

[TexasTowelie]

Jim Jordan knows that there's not much he can do about Trump's indictments in Manhattan, but he DOES have a little power over the federal investigations taking place right now. So he told Fox News this past weekend that he was working on an effort to cut the funding for the agencies, including the FBI that are investigating Trump on a host of issues. Jordan wants to actually "defund the police" in order to protect Trump, as Farron Cousins explains.

Republican representative Jim Jordan has kind of figured out that he really has no jurisdiction whatsoever over Alvin Bragg in New York. So there's nothing that he can do to stop the forthcoming prosecution of Donald Trump. So instead, Jim Jordan launched a new plan this past weekend during an appearance on Fox News, where he's decided to just say, screw it. I'm gonna defund the entire intelligence community and our Department of Justice so that they cannot prosecute Donald Trump. During an appearance with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, Jim Jordan said this, we control the power of the purse and we're going to have to look at the appropriation process and limit funds going to some of these agencies, particularly the ones who are engaged in the most egregious behavior. Bartiromo then asks, so the DOJ and the F B I, Jim Jordan responded, yes. And what I'd really like, frankly, I'd really like for the government to stay out of the election process.

Now, see that line right there? Stay outta the election process proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he is, of course, referring to the agencies and their specific investigations into Donald Trump. So the DOJ looking into his attempts to overturn the election, the doj looking into the, the document scandal, all of that, Jim Jordan wants to defund because as I said, he knows he can't defund Alvin Bragg. So let's just tear it all down for the sole purpose of protecting Donald Trump. Now, a couple weeks ago, Marjorie Taylor Green announced that she would not support any debt ceiling deal that includes funding for the doj. So she also wants to defund the doj. Matt Gates, couple months ago, took it a step further and said that the fbi, the C D C A, TF d oj, every last one of them, if they do not come to heal, he said, during a speech at c Ppac should be defunded. And if they don't, he said, defund and get rid of them. Get rid of the United States Department of Justice. Now, of course, Matt Gaetz would want to get rid of these investigatory bodies, seeing as how they investigated him. And then Rema, uh, remarkably decided to not pursue charges against him, which actually shocked even the witnesses who provided all the evidence against him. Uh, they were surprised that these agencies did not bring charges against Matt Gae. So you would actually think that Matt Gates would love these agencies because they were too cowardly to prosecute

Him, him when, again, according to the witnesses themselves, there was more than enough evidence to do so. So, Matt, you might wanna shut your mouth and stay the hell out of this one. But it all comes back to Jim Jordan. Man, this guy is drunk with power thinking that he is going to defund the United States Department of Justice. He's gonna defund the F B I. He's basically now on the whole Defund the Police thing, which he's sworn for years. He's totally against defunding the police, but now he's in favor of it. So, hey, I guess Jim Jordan, welcome to the Resistance. I, I don't know. Here's the thing, Jim, if you wanna talk about the weaponization of the Department of Justice, specifically the fbi, I'll have that conversation all day long. You wanna talk about how they've been spying on union leaders for decades in the United States? Let's have that conversation. Let's have that investigation. You wanna talk about how they've been keeping dossiers on environmental activists for decades? I'm all for it. You wanna cut their funding for programs like that? Let's do it. But with regard to Donald Trump, they have legitimate concern that the man may have broken the law. That's what you're afraid of. Accountability. That's what you don't want to see, and that's why you're willing to burn down the whole government just to protect Donald.

1. The fools rush in...

[Blue Owl]

2. Hey Gym, maybe you could just look the other way and pretend none of this is happening

You know, like you did in the locker room that time the coach was committing crimes against innocent children...

[SWBTATTReg]

3. I wonder if his efforts to defund the specific tRUMP-related cases being investigated/pursued by the

DOJ would be considered obstruction? It should be.

[calimary]

4. To anyone EXCEPT a Republican, it would be.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. And that would be the key to the whole thing, that he concentrated on suppressing efforts against

one side, in short, the 'dreaded' weaponization of the federal government, being spearheaded by jordan himself, eh? Such a hypocrite.

[calimary]

7. I hope when Dems get the House back, they vote to censure him.

[Artcatt]

5. Bu-bu-bu-but who'll protect us from the woke mob??

😭

[rsdsharp]

8. I don't think Gym really understands that while spending bills must originate in the House,

the Senate must also pass, and the President sign, the exact same bill in order for it to become law. I don’t see any of his fantasies making it that far.

[Wednesdays]

9. His fantasies might not even make it out of House Committee. nt

[vlyons]

10. Exactly Won't even get to Biden's desk for veto.

I don't know why I even read about anything this asshole ever says.

11. Why are criminals shaping our government?

How did such egregious thugs get this kind of power? I know they were sneaking in, as early as 1992, when Bill Clinton first ran for president (Whitewater). Maybe as early as 1980, when Jimmy Carter ran for reelection (October Surprise). I support free speech, but tired of the bullies and cheats and criminals getting to dictate what kind of country we'll have. American political criminals aren't even good at perverting the law. I think the only reason the are totally criminalizing the U.S. is because they couldn't compete agains the criminals running banana republics, or organized crime, or drug cartels. But as long at decent, law-abiding people let the criminals get away with their crimes, it is just going to get worse and worse.

Are the rwnj so far gone they don't see that defunding the police and other entities doesn't support the rule of law? Don't they see that if these criminals can pervert the law for one traitor to protect his sorry criminal ass, they will keep perverting the law until there is no law, just whims by powermad criminals? Do they want Quantrill to bloody the country again? You know all the worst scenes in books and movies? In the opening pages of Shogun, the lord killed about 12 people in a village, because he could. In other books and movies, children are killed in front of families. Where in The Usual Suspects, the elusive figure behind the crimes killed his family so his enemies couldn't. In real life, Gaddafi was basically tortured to death by the soldier who captured him. And on and on. This is what the criminals want right here in the U.S.A. and any people who don't want to live in a crime world needs to stop pussyfooting around hoping these bastards will stop criminalizing our government. Because the criminals won't stop. They will get away with something, and then get away with more if they aren't stopped in their sleazy tracks.
