JIM JORDAN BABBLES About Trump When Asked on FOX News for Evidence to Impeach President Biden [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-12-20 The ongoing circus that the clowns (aka Republicans) in the House of Representatives are trying to pass off as an impeachment inquiry of President Biden continues to prove that they have nothing to support their transparently partisan and vengeance-driven farce. And immune as they are to humiliation, they just keep digging themselves into ever deeper trenches. Click here to Tweet this article Ever since the GOP assumed their razor-thin (and shrinking) majority in the House, they have devoted themselves to a purely political pursuit aimed at disparaging Biden and other Democrats. It has been their singular obsession, dispensing with any pretense of serving the American people. And despite their intense focus on fictitious faultfinding, they remain breathtakingly bad at it. But that doesn't deter them from bragging about it... SEE THIS: GOP Speaker Admits the Purpose of the Biden Impeachment Inquiry is to Hurt Biden Politically Wednesday morning Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, visited with his pals at the GOP's Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. However, he was startled by a un-Fox like question that actually sought to extract some useful information. Anchor John Roberts asked... "We don't know if it exists even - and I think a lot of people want to know about this - is where is the evidence of wrongdoing Joe Biden's part." That's a good question that has been asked repeatedly by bona fide journalists on other news networks. And Republicans have never been able to come up with a coherent answer. This occasion was no different. Jordan awkwardly stumbled around with an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to bull manure spreading. He didn't even bother address the question of Biden's alleged wrongdoing. His answer was all about Trump... "The 14th Amendment doesn't talk about the office of the President in that section of the 14th Amendment. And, frankly, the president was put on trial and found not guilty by the United States Senate when the Democrats did their second crazy impeachment of him before. But the scariest thing of all in my judgment is the escalation with what the left will do to try to keep him out of The White House. I mean, first it was they spied on his campaign. then it was the Mueller investigation. Then it was the impeachment. Then it was raiding his home. Then it was indicting him in four different locations." x Jordan who has been accused of being very involved with January 6th: The scariest thing of all is the escalation with what the left will do to try to keep him out of The White House pic.twitter.com/dd0fNqhWr7 — Acyn (@Acyn) December 20, 2023 Having completely avoided any discussion of evidence against Biden, Jordan just rattled off everything that Trump has been whining about for the past three years. It's just Jordan's way of shoveling too much crapola for anyone to rebut in a time-constrained television segment. And it was hardly a plot carried out by the left. Let's take a look at his malarkey... "The 14th Amendment doesn't talk about the office of the President." No, but it does talk about being "a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State..." "The president was put on trial and found not guilty by the United States Senate." No he wasn't. And it wasn't a trial. A majority of Senators (57), including seven Republicans, voted to convict and remove Trump from office in the second impeachment. But the Senate requires a two-thirds majority. It was not, however, a decree of not guilty. "They spied on his campaign." No they didn't. The FBI did investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, and Trump and his associates just happened to be closely connected to much of it. "Then it was the Mueller investigation." Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who was appointed by Donald Trump. The Justice Department was run by Republican Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "Then it was the impeachment." The person solely responsible for Trump's impeachments was Trump. He's the one who tried to extort the president of Ukraine to get him to find dirt on Biden. And he tried to stage a violent coup to retain power after he lost the 2020 election. "Then it was raiding his home." Trump's home was not raided. He was served a lawful subpoena that he failed to comply with and lied to the FBI. That resulted in a search of his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel that found hundreds of classified documents. "Then it was indicting him in four different locations." Once again, there was no plot by the left. It was Trump's unlawful conduct and failure to cooperate that was the reason for his four indictments on 91 felony counts. So Jordan's response simply reminded everyone about all of Trump's criminal activities, rather than providing the evidence against Biden that he was asked about. That's not an especially smart way to advance his smear campaign. But in his defense, he was faced with a crippling dilemma wherein there isn't any evidence against Biden, but mountains of it against Trump. So what else could he talk about?
