Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had strong words about Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA who is prosecuting Mr. Trump according to Breitbart News. In an interview with Fox New‘s Maria Bartiromo, the Ohio Republican warned that if Mr. Bragg did not appear before Congress that “everything’s on the table” to force him to do so.
During the interview, Representative Jordan lamented the poor state of civil liberties in the country and asserted that powerful entities are zealously pursuing a crackdown on dissent. In the case of Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi, his sin was revealing the extent of the state censorship-technological nexus and for this, the IRS paid the independent journalist a visit. In the case of Mr. Trump, his opposition to reserved domains of power meant that his dissent would be punished by politicalized prosecution.
Mr. Jordan’s exact words on that subject were that “We’re going to talk with the other chairman and look at the response. We just got his letter [Mr. Bragg’s letter] back.”

He further stated that “We’re reviewing that [letter]. 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.”
Jim Jordan also further mentioned how this was not the first time the system was going against Mr. Trump and how their pursuit of the man would not stop there. All of these acts of cracking down on dissent were a means, according to Mr. Jordan, to further a radical agenda.
The lawmaker’s exact comments were that “I mean, that is the scary thing. They paid a foreigner [Christopher Steele]. 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.”
