Time for Fibber Jordan to show his hand. Then again, he has nothing

 Ohio Misrepresentative Fibber Jordan has been among the leading GOPers falsely claiming that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is a pro-crime attorney, citing fake statistics on crime in NYC, when Ohio's violent crime rates are even higher than New York's!!

So, what happened next?

Bragg decided to call Jordan's bluff, basically. Jordan has been sued by Bragg's office, ostensibly for obstruction and interference, which likely will kill a planned House Judiciary Committee visit to NYC next week.

Jordan, as has been documented, has taken the offensive against Bragg on behalf of former president Pecos Pampers (Donald Trump), and trying to claim, along with the Big Orange Baby, that Trump has done nothing wrong. Well, if he hadn't used campaign funds to pay off adult film actress Stormy Daniels, that might be true, but he did, and well, to paraphrase an umpire's statement to Mets manager Terry Collins a few years ago, Jordan's butt, along with Trump's, is in the jackpot.

Jordan has been the most high profile of Trump's Congressional stooges trying to interfere with Bragg's investigation, but, as has been pointed out, he is no stranger to scandal, dating back to his days as a wrestling coach at Ohio State. He refused to answer a subpoena issued by the Select Committee (since disbanded) investigating the insurrection on 1/6/21, and now he's issuing subpoenas, including one to former assistant DA Mark Pomeranz.

And with Citizen Pampers in NYC for a deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case, the walls around Trump are crumbling faster than expected. If Jordan isn't careful, his days in Washington may be numbered.
