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 Committees latest report that alleges the New York County District Attorneys Offices (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 Newss Sunday Morning Futures. Jordan lamented his frustrations about the former presidents other legal battles in Washington, D.C., for his federal election interference case, and in Georgia, where hes accused of participating in a scheme to overturn the states 2020 election results.
They want you to do something about it. Youre 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, were were a legislative branch. We cant put anyone in jail. And I dont think the Biden administration, their [Department of Justice] is going to go after the people who need to go after. Youre just not going to get that from [U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland], he continued.

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.
