Maria Bartiromo questions Jim Jordan about 'congressional investigations that go nowhere'

Source: The Hill

04/28/24 3:55 PM ET


Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday pressed House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on the lack of headway in House Republicans’ investigations into President Biden and other political figures. Bartiromo and Jordan were discussing the Judiciary Committee’s latest report that alleges the New York County District Attorney’s Office’s (DANY) hush money probe into former President Trump is “political prosecution.”

“Well, look, I mean, at this point, American citizens are asking, what can you do about it? I mean, look, with all due respect, people are sick and tired of congressional investigations that go nowhere. People are sick and tired of letters being written and sent to the people who we know are bad in the first place,” Bartiromo said Sunday on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” Jordan lamented his frustrations about the former president’s other legal battles in Washington, D.C., for his federal election interference case, and in Georgia, where he’s accused of participating in a scheme to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

“They want you to do something about it. You’re an elected official. What can you do to right these wrongs?” Bartiromo added later. “Well, we have passed legislation out of the committee that would help remedy this situation, particularly the one in New York, but the president or vice president can move a case to federal — to federal court from when you do these state prosecutors who are going after someone for a political reason,” Jordan responded.

“So, we’re — we’re a legislative branch. We can’t put anyone in jail. And I don’t think the Biden administration, their [Department of Justice] is going to go after the people who — need to go after. You’re just not going to get that from [U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland],” he continued.

They have no jurisdiction over NY and the laws of the state. I'd love to see NY make them testify.

They've learned that they can just string some random words together in a fairly reasonable order and the base thinks they're just great. It's not like their voters actually listen to what they are saying, they are just looking for confirmation of their beliefs.

with republicans and that mindset is still with them.

They don't need any cause or evidence of corruption, just the fact that someone is a Democrat is enough reason to launch a very expensive and time consuming investigation. Being they don't know how to govern, it gives them something to do with all their free time I suppose.

We had an asshat asking a shithead questions about why the shithead can get his investigations going or why he can’t do something to save Trump’s old, wrinkled ass.
