#AileenCannon followed #ClarenceThomas' ruling earlier that month in #Trump v. USA. She ruled a key piece of U.S. v #Nixon was non-binding; nevermind all the #SupremeCourt #precedent in appointing #SpecialCounsel! Boldface #partisan, just like #SCotUS...
And #MerrickGarland ROLLED OVER & *observed norms*, did not ask for reassignment. What a crock these Dems are, fiddling while the GOP sets fire to the rule of law.

@emptywheel wrote about Jim Jordan holiday info dump from Jack Smith iview, let's keep talking about it

Jim Jordan was afraid of the mob during the Jan 6th insurrection

The insurrection and many other crimes would have not happened if it weren't for Trump

Smith still can't talk about theft of classified documents because Cannon is still bogarting the report

Jim Jordan Buries His Own Cowardice in a Cowardly Document Dump - emptywheel

Perhaps the funniest disclosure from the Jack Smith deposition that Jim Jordan tried to bury under New Years Eve festivities is that when Jordan called Trump as Trump's mob was attacking the Capitol, he was scared.

Former #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith is back with new “closed door” testimony before the House, and ready to remind the American people that #Trump committed crimes and that the Special Counsel was prepared to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt to juries. #MichaelPopok takes a close look at Smith’s new public comments, including that “President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 …election.”
