On Sunday, Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo asked Republican Jim Jordan (R-OH) a question that many conservatives have been wondering as they listen to updates on various GOP investigations, including those involving President Biden.
Discussion of the latest Judiciary Committee meeting report on “The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s Political Vengeance Against President Donald J. Trump,” the host asked what Republicans actually plan to do about it.
“Well, look, I mean, at this point, American citizens are asking, what can you do about it? I mean, with all due respect, people are fed up with congressional investigations that go nowhere. “People are tired of writing and sending letters to people that we know are generally evil,” Bartiromo said on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“They want you to do something about it. You are an elected official. What can you do to right these wrongs?” she asked.
The Ohio Republican admitted it’s a frustrating reality that there’s not much they can actually do.
“Well, we have passed legislation in committee that would help address this situation, particularly the one in New York, but the president or vice president can move the case to federal court if state prosecutors who are prosecuting someone for political reasons do so,” Jordan replied.
“So we are… we are the legislative branch. We can’t put anyone in jail. And I don’t think the Biden administration will [Department of Justice] he’s going to go after people who – need to go after. You just won’t get it [U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland]” he added.
