Fibber Jordan's circus comes to New York. It doesn't go well

 While there were people with legitimate grievances against Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg present, invited by Fibber Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee, Monday's "field hearing" was actually what we all knew it was, a dog & pony show that was missing the dogs & ponies.

While Jordan and his fellow GOPers, including traitor to the 518 Elise Stefanik, tried to paint the picture that Bragg is soft on violent crime, the truth is the rate of violent crime in Jordan's home state of Ohio is triple that of NYC. All these GOPers are doing is protecting the Oldest Baby in America, but failing. If this keeps up, Jordan's butt will be in the jackpot next.

Democrats, led by NY's own Jerry Nadler, Jordan's predecessor as chair of the Judiciary Committee, made sure to drive the point home that this was a waste of time & space. All you needed was the theme from The Twilight Zone to capture the proper mood.

Farron Cousins breaks it down:


The belief that the wealthy consider themselves above the law is now little more than a dying urban legend. Harvey Weinstein was taken down. Trump is trying to avoid Bragg and everyone else trying to send him to prison or Bellevue Hospital, whichever is more appropriate. Jordan and his cronies are trying to protect Trump, but it could end up with them on trial, too, and, oh, what a day that will be.
