House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday demanding documentation related to the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last year.
The raid — which took place on Aug. 8, 2022 — was reportedly aimed at retrieving “any document Trump ever saw, read, or created for the entirety of his four years as commander-in-chief.” Due to the unprecedented nature of the Biden DOJ conducting a raid on a former president and a potential 2024 rival, House Judiciary Republicans sent letters to Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and then-White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain demanding records pertaining to “the execution of a search warrant” and “the decision to seek a search warrant” for Trump’s estate. The affidavit released by the FBI later that month justifying the agency’s warrant application to raid Trump’s Florida residence was nearly all redacted.
In November, the DOJ appointed U.S. Attorney Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate whether Trump violated federal laws related to the handling of presidential records.
The Judiciary Committee “previously requested information and documents related to the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s residence and its subsequent investigation,” Jordan’s letter to Garland reads. “Because you have not provided this information, and in light of your appointment of Jack Smith as special counsel, we write to request an unredacted copy of the memorandum outlining the scope of Mr. Smith’s probes regarding President Trump and any supporting documentation related to his appointment as special counsel.”
In addition to the unredacted memo “outlining the scope of Special Counsel Smith’s investigations,” Jordan is also seeking “any other document describing, listing, or delineating the authority and jurisdiction of the special counsel.” Garland’s deadline for forfeiting such records to the House Judiciary Committee is June 20, according to the letter.
Jordan’s Tuesday letter to the DOJ is his second within the past week requesting additional information related to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid. On Thursday, Jordan sent a separate memo to Garland expressing concerns about the FBI’s track record of “bias and reckless disregard for truth,” with the House Judiciary chair specifically referencing the report released by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Released last month, the bombshell report found the FBI possessed no real evidence that then-candidate Trump colluded with Russian government officials when it launched its investigation into the Trump campaign leading up to the 2016 election.
Meanwhile, House Republicans recently announced plans to hold contempt hearings for Wray later this week for allegedly violating a congressional subpoena over an unclassified document that “purportedly implicates President Joe Biden in a $5 million bribery scheme with a ‘foreign national’ from Biden’s time in the Obama administration.”
Again with the letters!
Maybe in all this is a way to monkeywrench that bastard Jack Smith’s plans for a show-trial.
Jordan has his shit in one neat bag. My hopes are riding on this great man.
I have given up on Jordan and MTG. They both need to be primaried
He is tearing hugh swaths of stinky, pustle ridden flesh off of Garlands ass.
Hit them hard Jim!
Watch the leftist bugs shrivel with the light of day exposure.
GO, JIM!!! Garland is PURE EVIL!! IMPEACH NOW!
trouble is the ferret faced Himmler wannabe Garland just laughs and refuses to comply knowing fully Fedzilla backs him up
I think by now most know Trump is being railroaded every which way. So they are acting like they are helping or going after biden. Demanding paperwork that will crush biden and others that will prove Trump innocent. When you own the president and FBI and DOJ and media then good luck getting anywhere.
Can any of this stuff be brought to our Supreme Court to get these papers.
You’re not allowed to call a JEWISH person a Nazi!
Ok, how about a “Kapo”?
They need to get a bit more aggressive with these DOJ criminals.
No...NAZI is a better fit.
Would Garland’s assassination herm Trumps reelection chances?
They won’t comply as there is an open Grand Jury. Jordan knows this - he is playing circus ala Shifty Schiff. These guys are losing credibility by using shifty tactics - it’s probably why msg is moving center
Demand all you want, Bucko. You ain’t gettin’ squat from us. Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it.
Of course he’s being railroaded. A President has a right to take any document he wishes. Nobody else has that right yet vice presidents have taken documents as has Sec. of State among some non-privileged officials.
They did not have a legal right to raid Trump’s home for documents.
I hope Jordan not only debrides the pustuled arse, but goes after the structures below it as well.
He doesn’t just run his mouth like some of his contempories fro South Carolina, he takes action.
I'm sure Garland is terrified he might receive another stern letter.
So he gave him two weeks. The next question is what are the consequences if he does not meet the deadline
I’m sure Garland is terrified he might receive another stern letter. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Thats not how this works.
Jim Jordan has the goods on Garland, a file full of photos of him preset in some pace he should not have been, like Epstein’s Island, or Belarus or something like that.
Jim will use that material to sweat Garland to the point he will resign or msk s vidit to Fort Marcey Park.
And we will never know a thing about it.
