Twitter Smacks Down Jim Jordan After He Says Donald Trump Is The Victim For Hoarding Secret Documents

There are few Republicans who are more disgustingly sycophantic toward failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump than Rep. Jim Jordan.

So it should come as no surprise that ever since the FBI served a search warrant at the disgraced ex-president’s Mar-a-Lago golf resort on Aug. 8, Jordan has been saying and tweeting out all sorts of specious allegations, suggesting that the Justice Department is out to get Trump, the FBI is targeting the Donald, and somehow all of this is an extension of the Russia investigation which was looked at by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

But a tweet Jordan sent out today is getting him pelted with enormous social media blowback, mainly because he’s asserting that Donald Trump is the victim despite the fact that he’s the one who was hoarding top secret documents in violation of federal law.

Here’s the tweet:

Read that again and see if you can follow Jordan’s twisted logic. If there was someone at Mar-a-Lago who told the FBI Trump had thousands of classified documents, then “they” spied on Donald before he was president, while he was president, and after he left office. Does that make sense to anyone other than a mindless MAGA minion who thinks Trump is the reincarnation of Jesus?

Also, why is it a bad thing that someone decided to inform the feds about the fact that Trump had secretive papers he should have turned over before he left the White House? Isn’t that actually a very good thing because those files are now under wraps instead of floating around for a hostile foreign power to get ahold of and use against the United States?

Not to Jim Jordan. To him, it confirms his paranoid theory that “they” are out to get Trump. That, of course, completely overlooks the fact that if Trump hasn’t done anything wrong, he has nothing to worry about.

Let’s see what Twitter has to say about the matter.

Jim Jordan never runs out of ways to plant his foot right in his mouth, does he?

Trump’s Current Legal Team Features A Former Right-Wing TV Host And A Lawyer For A Parking Garage Company

Now that he’s facing the greatest legal jeopardy of his entire life on multiple fronts (including from the Justice Department, which almost always wins), failed, one-term twice-impeached president Donald Trump’s so-called legal team is composed of a former right-wing TV host who lost her television gig when her network went belly up and a lawyer who represents a parking garage company.

In other words, Trump is screwed, and it’s all a result of the fact that he doesn’t like to pay his attorneys and is considered to be a “difficult” client.

The Washington Post has a fascinating report on Trump’s lawyers, and they note that most reputable and competent attorneys won’t even take Donald’s phone calls:

Ordinarily, the prestige and publicity of representing a former president, as well as the new and complex legal issues at stake in this case, would attract high-powered attorneys. But Trump’s search is being hampered by his divisiveness, as well as his reputation for stiffing vendors and ignoring advice.

“In olden days, he would tell firms representing him was a benefit because they could advertise off it. Today it’s not the same,” said Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for Trump who was convicted of tax evasion, false statements, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress in 2018. “He’s also a very difficult client in that he’s always pushing the envelope, he rarely listens to sound legal advice, and he wants you to do things that are not appropriate, ethically or legally.”

So who exactly has been Trump been able to get to represent him? It’s almost laughable when you hear the pathetic credentials of his current defense team:

People familiar with the search for legal help said the effort includes Susie Wiles, a close adviser to Trump, and attorney Christina Bobb, who was present at Mar-a-Lago during the search and signed for the list of documents taken. Former campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn is taking a prominent role, and former White House aide Kash Patel is advising informally. Patel is raising money for a “legal offense” fund by selling merchandise such as tank tops and beanies emblazoned with the logo “K$H.”

“You get these guys who just live to be around him, and mistakes get made,” a lawyer who isn’t part of the team said. “These guys just want to make him happy.”

Here’s the Trump “dream team,” which sounds a hell of a lot more like a nightmare:

  • Christina Bobb: “Bobb was previously a host on the far-right, pro-Trump television network One America News. At OAN, Bobb covered the Arizona Republican Party’s review of 2020 ballots — which ultimately confirmed Joe Biden’s win in the state — while also raising money for the effort and conferring with Trump advisers.”
  • Lindsey Halligan: “Whose practice, according to a professional biography, focuses on insurance claims at residential and commercial properties. She was admitted to the Florida bar in 2014.”
  • Alina Habba: “Leads a three-attorney firm with an office near Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Her professional experience includes serving as general counsel to a parking garage company.”

Former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz says he’s worried Trump isn’t properly represented:

“Good lawyers should have been working on this case for months. He needs a big and good and very experienced defense team with experience trying cases.”

Problem is, “good lawyers” don’t want a client like Donald Trump. And that could wind up leading to a long prison stay for the disgraced ex-president.

QAnon WTF?!

Canadian Mayor Has The Perfect Profane Response To QAnon Cultists Who Tried To Arrest Cops In Her Town

Proving that they’re definitely not the sharpest knives in the drawer, a group of QAnon believers showed in Peterborough, Ontario recently and attempted to conduct citizens arrests of police officers, which got them a free trip to jail for their stupidity.

According to Vice News:

Romana Didulo has built a sizable following out of the QAnon community by convincing people that she’s the true leader of Canada and waging a secret war against the supposed pedophilic cabal of globalist leaders, like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or U.S. President Joe Biden. On Saturday, she gathered around 30 of her followers in Peterborough, Ontario, to conduct “citizen’s arrests” on members of the Peterborough Police Service for enforcing COVID-19 restrictions, like mask mandates and business closures. 

Didulo announced the event all over social media, creating memes, pages on Telegram, and a website.

But when the QAnon faithful arrived at the local police station, they soon realized they hadn’t thought their plan through all the way and were easily confounded by a locked door at the police station they had marched to:

Later in the day, after QAnon members told police officers they needed to voluntarily surrender to them, some of the cultists found out that their stupid plan had only resulted in them being put in the slammer:

But by the end of it, one of (Didulo’s followers had been charged with two counts of assaulting police and a second was facing charges of mischief and resisting arrest. A third man was also later arrested and charged with a myriad of charges, including assaulting a peace officer with a weapon.

When it was all over, Peterborough Mayor Diane Therrien took to Twitter and expressed what most in the town were probably feeling:

“People have been asking me to comment on the events of the past weekend. I hate giving airtime/spotlight to these imbeciles. Here is my comment: f*ck off, you f*ckwads.”

Bravo, Mayor Therrien!

Trump Refused To Turn Over Classified Documents Because He Wanted To Use Them As ‘Leverage’: Report

A former FBI agent says he thinks former president Donald Trump kept thousands of classified and top secret documents because he had plans to use them as “leverage” over others.

Peter Strzok, who served in the FBI for 22 years, including as Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division, was asked by MSNBC host Tiffany Cross:

“We know he shares because this guy almost tweeted out major secrets. I want to direct your attention to the Iran missile tweet … there was an image of the Iranian missile blowup, and it was exquisite intelligence, this is all according to a former official. And when they showed it to the president he said I’m tweeting it. And they essentially said, sir, we don’t want to do it because people will understand our capabilities. His response was, I’m the president, I can declassify anything. That blows my mind, and I do wonder what exactly was Merrick Garland mulling over, because we’ve seen how he’s been a threat to us for four years?”

Strzok replied:

“The president has the authority to classify and declassify things while he’s in office, and what’s critical, he’s no longer in office. He was not in office immediately following the inauguration on January 20th, so what you have to do is go back and look, and the biggest question in my mind is why did he have all the information? In the run-up you show former National Security Adviser John Bolton saying he thought it might be neat. In my mind, I would not be surprised, one, not just the material that the FBI recovered in the search warrant but those 15 boxes that the National Archives got much earlier in the year.”

And then Strzok explained why he thinks Trump wanted to keep such highly sensitive information lying around unsecured at Mar-a-Lago:

“I think there’s going to be turn out to be, one, highly, highly classified information, but, two, things that aren’t just things he found neat. I would be surprised if there weren’t things that furthered his business interest, things he could use as leverage over people, things he could use to settle the scores. The biggest question in my mind is why on earth, having been told repeatedly by so many people, that he steadfastly refused to turn these things over and instead carried them all away. You know, I hope DOJ is content now with the FBI that they have recovered everything, but we’re talking about a massive amount of information.”

Greed and revenge. We all know that Trump is rapacious and petty, constantly looking for ways to enrich himself and get payback on others, even at the expense of U.S. national security. He needs to be indicted and tried. If he isn’t, this country will never be safe.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Urges Her Supporters To Commit Voter Fraud: ‘Vote One, Two, Three Times, Whatever’

Ever since Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to President Joe Biden, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been one of the most vocal disseminators of the “Big Lie” that the disgraced ex-president actually won but was cheated out of second term as a result of massive voter fraud.

Yet Greene is now encouraging her supporters to commit voter fraud on her behalf in the upcoming midterm election, according to The Independent:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene encouraged supporters to get out to the polls during the November midterms and went one step further during a video address to advocate that they exercise their right to vote “one, two, three times.”

In the video clip, shared online by the left-wing Twitter account PatriotTakes, an account with more than 450,000 followers, the Georgia Republican is seen standing alongside Mallory Staples, who ran to represent Georgia’s 6th Congressional District in the spring but lost in the Republican primary to Rich McCormick.

The video begins with Greene and Staples encouraging voters to be sure and vote in November. Staples remarks:

“Get out and vote with you and your 20 closest friends and neighbors in November.”

Greene then interjects:

“Vote one, two, three times, whatever.”

As if that’s not bad enough, the two continue to urge voter fraud:

A nervous Ms. Staples then giggles at Ms. Greene’s suggestion to get out “three times” and proffers up the suggestion that voters should get out and do “whatever the law will allow you to do.”

“Which in Georgia is almost anything,” quips Ms. Staples, before the two politicians erupt into more nervous laughter.

Apparently, voter fraud is just fine when done on behalf of Republicans, including those who squawk the loudest about how elections were “stolen” from them.

Much like the her political idol, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a disgusting hypocrite, liar, and thug. Her constituents need to kick her to the curb in November and replace her with someone who will actually represent them.
