Wow. #JimJordan making a bigger ass of himself than usual. Via @atrupar:

BASH: Do u have evidence #Trump actually declassified these #documents before he took them?

😂JORDAN: “I go on the president's word & he said he did

If he wants to store material in box in bathroom, if he wants to store it in box on a stage he can do it."

He repeatedly insists Trump declassif everythg, *even tho Trump himself is on tape saying he didn't do that.* Astounding stuff. Jordan then pivots to Hillary's emails

@GottaLaff @atrupar just saw BritHume make the same "but Hillary" point. That's obviously the stand they are going to take.

@ArmyGirl @GottaLaff @atrupar. That and that Biden is indicting Trump. It's in this #WashingtonPost oped. "But the biggest downside of indicting Trump is the profound line crossed by a sitting president using — or abusing, to many millions of people — the power of the state to arrest and possibly imprison a political opponent." Of course, this isn't what Biden is doing, and of course, this is exactly what Trump has said he will do if god forbid he is re-elected. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/10/trump-indictment-espionage-danger-democracy/
Indicting an ex-president and leading candidate requires more than this

This indictment is unnecessary, unwise and destructive to democracy.

@cindyweinstein @ArmyGirl @GottaLaff @atrupar Who is Gary Abernathy and why does he choose to be a traitor to his country? When did wapo actually become a Trump Mouthpiece? This column is a disgrace on so many levels. The days of Woodward and Bernstein type honest reporting are long over. FU wapo and Abernathy.

Sounds like he's a hardcore Trumper and GOP operative. His Ohio paper was "one of the few newspapers to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2016." WaPo's gotta have "balance" amirite? #TrumpIndictedAgain #ClassifiedDocsCrimes

@echanda @Janef @ArmyGirl @GottaLaff @atrupar. Thanks. I saw that, too, and looked at some of his other columns and then stopped but not before looking at some #WashingtonPost readers' replies. Like this one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/19/gary-abernathy-hot-button-words-use/
Gary Abernathy’s ‘words to avoid’ should have included words to use

Hot-button issues need to be talked about with a level head and clear language.

@Janef @GottaLaff @atrupar agree. I just turned the channel on there by accident. The other talking heads were Turley (who seemed oddly giddy about the situation) and tgatvex congressman that looks like Max Headroom 🫣

GOP cares about Hillary's emails, but not Ivanka's.
They care about a politician family member making money (named Biden) but not named Kushner.
Could they BEEEE anymore hypocritical?

@JKFlower @ArmyGirl @GottaLaff @atrupar nobody cares about Clinton's emails. A lot of people just wanted to keep her out of the White House. Any port in a storm.
