Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment against former President Donald Trump has seen an interesting turn of events. Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has been looking into the indictment over suspicions that it is motivated more by politics than by a pursuit of justice.
On Tuesday, Jordan sent another letter to Willis highlighting her refusal to comply with the demands in the previous letter the committee sent. Of particular note, however, is a new revelation that Willis’ office reached out to the Democrats’ House Select Jan. 6 Committee to get information that could aid in her effort against Trump.
In the letter, Jordan notes that Willis’ indictment and prosecution against the former president “implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated.”
The lawmaker pointed out, “It is noteworthy that just four days before this indictment, you launched a new campaign fundraising website that highlighted your investigation into President Trump.”
Jordan then referenced a specific communication between Willis’ office and Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), who chaired the Jan. 6 committee.
Recently, the Committee became aware of cooperation between your office and the partisan January 6 Select Committee. We are in possession of a letter, dated December 17, 2021, and enclosed herein, from you to Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman of the partisan January 6 Select Committee, requesting access to congressional “records that may be relevant to our criminal investigation.” Specifically, you asked Rep. Thompson for access to “record [sic] includ[ing] but . . . not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.” You even offered that you and your staff were eager to travel to Washington, D.C, to “meet with investigators in person” and to receive these records “any time” between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022.
Jordan also points to the “significant delay” between the launching of the investigation and the filing of charges. “The timing of this prosecution reinforces concerns about your motivation,” he wrote. “In February 2021, news outlets reported that you directed your office to open an investigation into President Trump…Yet you did not bring charges until two-and-a-half years later, at a time when the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination is in full swing.”
The lawmaker also calls the district attorney out for refusing to respond to his requests sent in the previous letter when his investigation into the indictment began, noting that her September response “failed to adequately address the Committee’s requests and made several baseless excuses for refusing to provide the requested documents."
If it is true that Willis sought to work with federal lawmakers to cook up charges against the former president, then the revelation could have profound implications on the perception of the legitimacy of the efforts to prosecute Trump. It would be more evidence confirming what many already believe: The indictment is a political ploy intended to influence the outcome of the upcoming 2024 presidential election. It would further demonstrate that Democrats at multiple levels of government are colluding in an effort to ensure that Trump does not win a second term in the White House, which could have enormous consequences for the political landscape in America.
I’m not sure what to make of no-brainers coming to light, there are so many.
Not surprising.
Does Willis seem like someone who “calls her own shots?”
Answer: Nope, Fanny is a just following orders type.

We have a lot to chew on.
The entertainment value heading into the new year should be epic.
Dear Ms. Willis,
You did not respond to my previous angry letter.
So, I am sending you another angry letter.
Your friend,
Jim
“I’m not sure what to make of no-brainers coming to light, there are so many.”
What gets me is that this is a real and true criminal conspiracy but no one nowhere is uttering those words when they should be viral.
After reviewing the Votes and watching entire five hour Hearings, I’ve come to the conclusion it’s all Fake.
Comer votes to oust Santos and within 24 hrs he’s saying it’s going to be harder to Impeach Biden.
Okay, so why did you throw him out while protecting Jamaal Bowman, again?
It’s Fake people. That’s why it’s taken 8 years to get here.
Wow I am really impressed with Jim Jordan.
He managed to write two letters in the past 11 months!
How about a subpoena for Fanni or is that too much to ask?
Jim Jordan - another Trey Gowdy wannabe.
RE: Jim Jordan - another Trey Gowdy wannabe.
What is he doing that’s not to your liking?
Yup. I am convinced that there really is one political party. The whole thing is a show. It’s a giant con game and the voters in the US play no role in our government at all. We are patsies. That’s what they mean by Our Democracy. Don’t threaten Their Democracy. They’ll stomp you.
Big Fani sees herself as some kind of weird Trump killer.
There should be real consequence of ignoring these letters.
Contempt of Congress, prosecutions etc using the full might of the judiciary committee.
“Should be”
We’re dealing with republicans here, it’s always “should be”, cause they’re the stupid party.
Wondering lately if they’re not so much stupid, as complicit, and just acting stupid.🤷♂️
“What is he doing that’s not to your liking?”
He’s all talk and no show.
As Dan Bongino says, they all hate your guts
Name one thing he’s done. He gets this 5 minute clip on youtube. That’s about it.
[[within 24 hrs he’s saying it’s going to be harder to Impeach Biden.]]
My prediction IF biden isn’t cheated back into the whitehouse again, is that the republicans will say “Biden is hurting mentally, so we shouldn’t ‘bully him’ by seeking impeachment because our party doesn’t stoop to those levels” and the whole thing will be dropped-
I hope im wrong, but have a sneaking suspicion the gop will cave per usual
bttt
