Jim Jordan: Congressional Democrats Committed ‘Grave Abuse’ Against the Rule of Law
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) feels sweet vindication after FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s report cleared President Donald Trump of any and all Russian collusion, and the right-wing lawmaker is taking aim at Congressional Democrats who have allowed this senseless witch hunt to persist for so long.
Jordan wrote a letter accusing Democratic House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings of colluding with several House Democratic chairmen to execute a clandestine “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) targeting Trump.
“You did not consult with Republican Members of the Committee or allow Members to consider and debate the terms of your MOU before executing the MOU with Chairwoman Waters,” Jordan wrote.
Jordan, who also serves on the Oversight Committee, claims that House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff plotted with Cummings to withhold important information from Republicans pertaining to Trump’s investigation.
“This subpoena is a grave abuse of the Committee’s authority and a violation of the Chairman’s pledge to the Committee,” Jordan wrote.
Jordan believes that Democrats played partisan games with matters of grave importance to national security. The facts seem to back up Jordan’s narrative that the Democrats acted inappropriately while attempting to railroad President Trump.
“Although the Rules of the House of Representatives grant Chairman Cummings broad oversight authority, we rely on the Chairman to use it responsibly,” Jordan wrote. “Twelve days ago, on April 3, 2019, Chairman Cummings, in a free-wheeling press availability, announced to the media that he was preparing a subpoena to Mazars for this sensitive, personal information about President Trump’s finances,” Jordan wrote.
The unprecedented amount of presidential harassment that has come from the Democrats toward Trump has been “gravely dangerous and counterproductive,” according to Jordan.
“The Democrat obsession with the president and his family is gravely dangerous and counterproductive to the work of our Committee,” Jordan wrote. “The American people can now see that Democrats’ pursuit of truth is clouded by their obsession with attacking the president and the first family. None of our actions would be necessary if not for Chairman Cumming’s decision to pursue reckless, partisan investigations designed to attack the president and his family.”
Jordan has shoved the facts in the faces of Democrats, who still cling to fairy tales despite the fact that Mueller’s report yielded no evidence proving that Trump was a Russian agent.
No collusion! No obstruction!
Complete cooperation from the President. No executive privilege asserted.

Democrat members of Congress should take a deep breath and read the Special Counsel’s report before jumping to conclusions.
The Attorney General concluded what we long suspected. No collusion. No obstruction. (1/5)

The Left’s partisan attacks on the Attorney General are disgraceful.
Bill Barr has conducted himself in exactly the way the American people want their AG to act.
He followed the law, provided as much of the Mueller Report as possible, and erred on the side of transparency.

Jordan showed conservatives how to deal with liberal smear merchants throughout the Russian collusion farce. He never relented in his support of Trump and refused to play along with the fake news’ lies. As a result, Jordan has accumulated a great deal of credibility that will now be used to hold Democrat rule-breakers accountable!
