This week, during “Sunday Morning Futures,” broadcast by FNC, hosted by Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Jim Jordan (R) OH, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that everything was “on the table” pertaining to any congressional oversight role, in the grand jury indictment, of former President Donald Trump, by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The discussion went like this-
Host Maria Bartiromo asked-
“What are you — when are you expecting to speak with Alvin Bragg?” “If he does not come to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee, will you subpoena him?”

To which Jordan replied-
“Everything’s on the table, Maria,” …“We’re going to talk with the other chairman and look at the response. We just got his letter back. We’re reviewing that. But we think that this is — here’s, I think, maybe the most important thing. We think this is bigger. This involves all of us. I don’t think it’s an accident that the same week we learn that the IRS knocked on Matt Taibbi’s door while he’s testifying in Congress, that same week is when we learn a district attorney is going to — a left-wing district attorney, a Soros-backed district attorney, is going to go after the former president of the United States.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman, House Judiciary Committee
And he continued-
“I mean, that is the scary thing,”… [the left] “They paid a foreigner. Think about this. They paid a foreigner to put together a fake dossier to spy on President Trump’s campaign. The FTC sends letters to Twitter demanding, who are the journalists you’re talking to? And then, of course, when Matt Taibbi is testifying, the IRS is knocking on his door. And now an indictment of a former president, the guy who happens to be leading in every single poll. This is about all of us. This is about going after anyone who opposes the left’s agenda, the establishment’s agenda. And that’s maybe the most-scary thing of all.”
Calling out the double standard of the left, in covering over the deeds of their candidates like Clinton and Biden, versus just allowing Trump to run for office, Jordan lists from 2016 to the 2024 elections that they have directly interfered with, unscathed by consequences to date. Jordan ends his interview by making the case for those currently weaponized government entities that are supposed to work for “We the People”, like the IRS, FTC, DOJ, FBI and others to “stay out the election” and let we the voters decide who “We the People” want in office, without their interference.
“I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country.
