WATCH: Adam Schiff Destroys Jim Jordan For Serving As Trump’s ‘Criminal Defense Firm’

During a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee today that featured testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) took a verbal battering ram to the committee chair, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), accusing him of serving as little more than an attorney for failed former president Donald Trump.

Speaking to Garland, Schiff noted that Jordan was using the committee to obstruct justice for Trump.

“The chairman would abuse the power of this committee by trying to interfere in the prosecutions of Donald Trump by trying to use the committee’s power of subpoena to compel criminal discovery, in effect making the committee a kind of criminal defense firm for the former president.”

The California Democrat continued:

“Through Mr. Jordan’s actions, he would establish the principle that the rule of law should apply to almost everyone, just not to the leader of his party.”

Schiff concluded by warning such actions would result in a dictatorship.

“Mr. Jordan hopes to camouflage his assault on the rule of law by falsely claiming that Donald Trump is the victim of unequal justice,” said Schiff. “It is a claim that is as transparently political as it is devoid of any factual basis.”

Of course, Schiff is absolutely right. Jim Jordan and others in the GOP are only interested in trying to protect Donald Trump. Too bad they can’t all go to prison together.
