The listening to isn’t serving to Trump, however it’s exhibiting the American those who the one ability Jim Jordan appears to own is losing taxpayer cash whereas attempting to guard Donald Trump.

For a listening to that was purported to be about violent crime, Home Judiciary Committee Republicans have proven zero curiosity in exploring any potential legislative options that might cut back crime.

The scheme has backfired on Jordan and Trump as nobody believes that may be a coincidence that his committee simply so occurs to be in Manhattan to carry a listening to attacking the identical district lawyer who indicted Donald Trump by coincidence.

Jordan didn’t appear to assume that Judiciary Committee Democrats would present up for the listening to, however they did, and his publicity stunt has became one other GOP abuse of energy failure.
