Jason Easley reports, Jim Jordan Is Coming To New York To Interfere In Trump’s Criminal Case:
The real purpose of “Gym” Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee hearing in New York is to meddle in Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump.
Here is the announcement of the hearing:
— House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸 (@JudiciaryGOP) April 10, 2023
It is obvious that the point of this hearing is for “Gym” Jordon and his third-rate Republican circus to come to New York City to taint the jury pool. The goal is to boost the claim that Trump can’t get a fair trial in Manhattan, so the case will have to be moved to a Republican area like Long Island.
House Republicans have no jurisdiction over Alvin Bragg or what happens in the Manhattan DA’s office. The hearing is a blatant attempt to interfere in Trump’s criminal case.
Since there is no legislative purpose to Jordan’s hearing, the Republicans aren’t hiding the fact that they are coming to the city to attack Alvin Bragg.
If the New York hearing is like any of the other hearings that Jordan has led, it will be laughable spectacle that will land with a giant thud and be quickly forgotten.
Interfering in criminal investigations for a corrupt former president is apparently what Republicans mean when they talk about law and order.
Interfering in criminal investigations in New York is also a crime, NY PENAL § 195.05 Obstructing governmental administration in the second degree:
A person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration when he intentionally obstructs, impairs or perverts the administration of law or other governmental function or prevents or attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation, physical force or interference, or by means of any independently unlawful act, or by means of interfering, whether or not physical force is involved, with radio, telephone, television or other telecommunications systems owned or operated by the state, or a county, city, town, village, fire district or emergency medical service or by means of releasing a dangerous animal under circumstances evincing the actor’s intent that the animal obstruct governmental administration.
Obstructing governmental administration is a class A misdemeanor.
By coming to Manhattan these lawless GQP Coup Plotter co-conspirators give Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg jurisdiction to charge them under New York law. Book ’em Danno!
UPDATE: Great legal minds think alike. Ex-Prosecutor Argues Jim Jordan ‘Should Be Locked Up’ For Trump Probe Interference:
Glenn Kirschner, a former U.S. Army prosecutor and legal analyst for MSNBC, said House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) broke a New York law forbidding “obstructing governmental administration” with his attempt to probe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump.
Kirschner slammed Jordan’s efforts in a recent episode of his “Justice Matters” podcast and referred to him as a “man who intentionally violated a congressional subpoena” who has started issuing congressional subpoenas. Jordan, a fierce defender of Trump, defied a House Jan. 6 committee subpoena to testify about the insurrection and was referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.
“Boy, does that make a mockery of the Judiciary Committee and of Congress and of the rule of law,” Kirschner said.
Kirschner said Jordan violated a New York state law against “obstructing governmental administration,” defined as preventing “a public servant from performing an official function by means of intimidations, physical force or interference.”
“That is precisely what Jim Jordan has done and is doing … so the only question, friends, is what is DA Bragg prepared to do about it,” said Kirschner. He claimed Jordan also violated the Constitution’s 10th Amendment.
“He should be locked up because, you know, justice matters,” Kirschner added.
Jason Easley continues, Alvin Bragg Just Humiliated Jim Jordan For New York Hearing Stunt:
A spokesperson for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg called Jordan coming to New York to hold a hearing, a political stunt, and pointed out that crime is higher in parts of Jordan’s Ohio.

“Gym” Jordan keeps trying to help Trump and wreck the criminal case against the former president, and he continues to get burned by Alvin Bragg. The Manhattan prosecutor is ten steps ahead of Rep. Jordan and the Republicans.
Bragg wasted no time in humiliating Jordan and exposing his sham by pointing out that there are plenty of murders right in Rep. Jordan’s backyard in Ohio for him to be taking a look at.
Jordan and the House Republicans think they are helping Trump, but all they are accomplishing is sowing the seeds for the loss of the Republican House majority in 2024.
It’s past time for Special Counsel Jack Smith to file charges against the Coup Plotter co-conspirators, The 11 House Republicans attended a White House meeting with Trump to strategize about overturning the election results on January 6. Six of them later asked for pardons. I want to see this criminal traitor “Gym” Jordan perp walked, and see him cry like a baby when he is arrested. Sweet!

Arrest & charge the punk for attempted obstruction. Even a short stay at Rikers Island just might do him a world of good. .
At Rikers, his habit of looking the other way will serve him well.
Ha! Hope someday a hearing witness presents the punk with a neck brace. “Don’t you get whiplash from abruptly looking the other way & changing your outlook based on which way the wind is blowing?”
