We have already written a letter—which I have attached again for your reference–explaining why the legal positions you advance are meritless. Nothing you’ve said in your latest letter
As I have explained, your requests implicate significant. well recognized confidentiality interests related to an ongoing criminal matter
Oh shit, she just "per my previous email"-ed Gymbo fucking twice!
It gets even better if you read the letter itself, linked in the article.
My attached prior letter provided you with four noble suggested uses of your authority as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee: (1) enhancing funding for victim-witness advocates; (2) expanding funding for testing all rape kits; (3) supporting the Credible Messengers program, which helps to turn around children in trouble with the criminal justice system; and (4) ensuring adequate funding to support state crime labs, which test for drugs like Fentanyl. I would encourage you to focus your attention on those issues, which would make life better for the American people.
It's just layers up on layers of "per my previous email".
A Republican who doesn't understand how our government works or wants to undermine it's essential functions? Say it ain't so!
Probably damaged his brain sticking his fingers in his ears so hard trying not hear the rape and sexual abuse.
I can't believe that the leadership of the House of Representatives has come down to a race between a guy who covered up for a rapist and a guy who calls himself David Duke without the baggage.
Bold of her to assume he can read.
"Dear Gym,
This is not an educational institution's athletics department where you can help cover up sexual abuse to prevent investigations by law enforcement."
Good for her. Jordan doesn't have a leg to stand on thanks to the extremely basic principle of federalism that gives our 50 states huge leeway over how and when to prosecute crimes in their state. The idea that the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee would reach down from his national duties to actively try to investigate and derail the ongoing work of a county prosecutor is just repellent to the very framework, laws, and concept of the Union of separately-empowered states that is our country.
While you may enjoy immunity under the United States Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, that does not make your behavior any less offensive to the rule of law.
In other words, "the ONLY reason I haven't indicted your ass for obstruction is that you'll spend months on appeals all the way to SCOTUS trying to claim your obstruction is part of your duties in Congress, and you aren't worth my time right now, bitch."
I'd actually like to see her bring the charge and let judges bend themselves into pretzels trying to rationalize how a Congress member's incessant interference with a state case qualifies under the speech and debate clause's protection.
If there's one thing Ol' Gym knows it's ABUSE!
Watch him twist that last line into “Fani wilis questions the validity of the constitution “ and the hogs eat it up
Pound sand ha, I'd love to see this to become norm instead of 'slam'.
Wait, doesn't she know her place?
