Rep. Jim Jordan claimed Trump’s weaponization fund is only for people unjustly accosted by the federal government, and then acted like the cat got his tongue when CNN host Dana Bash pressed him on whether former Olympian David Hearn should receive funds after Jeanine Pirro dropped all charges against him. Never mind that Pirro claimed they had “irrefutable” evidence against Hearn which seems to have vaporized into the lie that it always was.
Jordan hemmed and hawed when the CNN host refuse to let him talk his way out of not answering direct questions.
The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee claimed that the $1.776 billion Trump weaponization fund will be used for completely honest and justified reasons.
Don’t laugh, I know.
To defend Blanche’s immoral creation, Jordan kept bringing up Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who received payouts from the federal government. However, it’s a false equivalence since the feds settled their suits because they clearly violated their privacy rights when they released Strzok and Page’s private text messages.
Strzok and Page didn’t attack the US Capitol, try to overturn a legitimate election, beat up police officers, refuse to fill their obligations as FBI agents, or plot against Donald Trump.
Bash shifted to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who on CNN claimed that they had proof against David Hearns, which turned out to be a lie.
