Let us never forget that Donald Trump had MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate show up to his criminal trial. And he made them all wear either long red ties. Donald Trump literally dressed up members of Congress to look like him in like ridiculous outfits or they had to wear ties with Donald Trump's face on it. That is the status of the Republican Party in what's supposed to be a co-equal branch of government in the House of Representatives in the Senate. But it's just a full-fledged cult. Take a look at the House Judiciary GOP's official social

media account. And you'll recall, for example, that several months ago, they would post things like this. So this was actually back in October of 2022. They'd post things like Kanye, Elon, Trump. This is their official account. So it's already ridiculous stuff like that. But here's what they just posted. And here's what they posted since Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 separate felony counts. They just write Trump, period. Trump. I want to say cult. That's called a cult. Then Jim Jordan posts this letter that he sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg less than 24 hours after Donald Trump was convicted on 34 separate felony counts. You have Jim Jordan sent this letter to the Manhattan District Attorney subpoenaing him to show up at a hearing

before sentencing of Donald Trump takes place. And then Jim Jordan posted it. And because Jim Jordan chairs the House Judiciary Committee, it's basically his account, the House Judiciary GOP. So then he just reposts his letter to Alvin Bragg and to a member of Alvin Bragg's prosecution team, Matthew Colangelo, subpoenaing them and ordering them to testify. They're not going to do that. They are state prosecutors. There's something called federalism. And, you know, the MAGA Republicans in their previous iterations would say states' rights, states' rights. And a prosecutor is under no obligation to show up before Congress to talk about ongoing

criminal matters. The case is still pending. Sentencing is July 11th. And here's what this letter says that Jim Jordan proudly posts on his social media account, because they're just some keyboard warriors, these MAGA Republicans. Dear Mr. Bragg, we write to respectfully request your testimony at a hearing before the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government of the Committee on the Judiciary titled Hearing on Weaponization of the Federal Government.

The ultimate irony here is that the weaponization is the MAGA Republicans on this committee. So they're just self-owning themselves right here with this title. We want to talk about the weaponization of the federal government. So let's talk about a state prosecutor, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, which has nothing to do with the federal government, who brought this case against Donald Trump before a grand jury. The grand jury indicted, a jury of Donald Trump's peers convicted the way the American judicial system works after Donald Trump clearly falsified business records in connection with hush money payments to interfere with the 2016

election. Donald Trump was too cowardly to ever testify. Donald Trump called essentially no witnesses other than the MAGA lawyer, Robert Costello, who basically collapsed on the stand. But let's just say it's rigged and all unfair because that's what MAGA Republicans do. So we're inviting you to this hearing on June 13th, 2024 at 10 a.m. in room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office Building. This hearing will examine actions by state and local prosecutors to engage politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular, the recent political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Well, you know, he's not in president. Like they cosplay like this twice impeached,

four times indicted, 34 times convicted felon, civil fraudster, someone who was adjudicated to be a sexual assaulter. They cosplay him as their leader, as their current president. This is such unhinged stuff. Then they sent a similar letter to one of the prosecutors on the team, Matthew Colangelo. And then they repost big, where they're reposting a journalist saying, new, House Republicans call on Bragg and former Biden DOJ official Matthew Colangelo to testify next month about the Trump prosecution. Sentencing is July 11th. They ain't showing up, Jim Jordan. They have no obligation to, nor should they during an active prosecution.

But the account goes big. Like they're just a bunch of like tweeters at this point. Like they just tweet things and they X things and they're just like Donald Trump, their commander. It's all social media, this social media, that, and they do nothing for the American people. I'm gonna wanna play this video for you, but they have this video of Donald Trump that says,

I'm doing this for you, the American people. I'm doing this for you. That's what they posted as well. And this, by the way, all of this is in the same 24 hour period. They post this photo of Donald Trump. The best is yet to come. It's like a fanboy club for Donald Trump. The house judiciary, which should deal with serious judicial issues, is a fanboy club cosplaying Donald Trump as their MAGA warlord. Just some strange conduct. Y'all look just like North Korea and just like Kim Jong-un and just like the Ba'ath Party and some strange stuff. Then Jim Jordan goes, I'm going to be reacting to the Trump verdict. Then the House Judiciary goes, rigged.

They just go rigged. Everything's rigged for them, right? The election, if that doesn't go the way they're rigged, other elections are rigged. The trial's rigged. The judge's daughter, sister, brother, mother, lover, whoever, everyone's, everybody's rigged. Or is it that Donald Trump, who has bankrupted almost all of the companies he's worked with or been associated with in the past, maybe it's the person who's lied about actually

almost everything in life. Maybe the person who even said, I'm gonna testify at trial and then didn't. Maybe it's the person who made those hush money payments while his wife had just given birth to Barron while he was cheating on her with someone else who he was cheating on. Maybe there's something there.

Maybe the insurrection that we all watched on TV that we know that took place. Maybe the loser who lost by millions and millions of votes and got destroyed in the electoral college in 2020. And you go, oh, it was all rigged. And there was bamboo from China being funneled in and secret satellite dishes that were set up in Italy to have this elaborate plot. And maybe y'all are the issue right here. Maybe that's the issue.

By the way, this is the same account that posted this house judiciary during the eclipse. How strange they posted this. Bud Light, Disney, Target, go woke, go broke. They also posted this bud light disney target go woke go broke they also posted this he never backed down for that's why i'm saying this is a whole cosplay mago warlord dom submissive kind of strange but the whole thing straight and he dresses you up in those long red ties and you show up there and you attack the judge's daughter to show what tough guys you are. Weird stuff that simply shouldn't exist in our country. Then you have Jim Jordan says that the jury who Donald Trump selected with the prosecution, that they're actually 12 partisans. That's who they are.

They're actually, they're rigged. The jury's rigged. The grand jury's rigged. The judge, everybody, everybody, everybody. But Jim Jordan and Donald Trump and Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Delle Green and Maga Mike, they hold the secrets. Here, play this clip.

This has been a problem from the get-go. You got a partisan prosecutor. You got a partisan judge. You had 12 partisans, I think, from from a part of the country that President Trump's line yesterday was so well said when he when he stated the real verdict will be on November 5th, when 330 million Americans get to weigh in, when we the people get to weigh in on this, not again, some partisan judge, partisan prosecutor, and 12 people from Manhattan. You know, I will support, contrary to what you do, I will support the jury. I mean, look, the jury makes a decision based on what they heard. What they heard is determined by what the prosecution presents and the defense of it tends to present evidence, but also what

the judge allows them to hear. And the judge also allowed to, the judge allowed them to hear some of the most sensational stuff from Stormy Daniels that had absolutely nothing to do with the charges. So I don't blame the jury. They're doing their job. Let's be real. Most guys would wear a t-shirt every day of their lives if they could. The problem is most t-shirts are not acceptable to wear at work or out on a hot date. Today's sponsor, Cuts, has finally changed that.

And then even Laura Ingraham, of all people, looks at Jim Jordan like he's an idiot. And she's like, so do you have any information though, that links your idea that Matt Colangelo, other than the fact that he once worked at the DOJ, you know, people have different jobs that he was actively communicating. Do you have evidence or is this the same thing you do where you go, oh, we've got 17 audio recordings of Biden that don't exist. Or we've got a whistleblower who's a spy for China. We got another whistleblower who's a spy for China. We got another whistleblower

who's a spy for Putin. I mean, I like how like we don't talk about that anymore, that like Jim Jordan and the MAGA Republicans and James Comer quite literally, I know Donald Trump says that his witnesses were literally crucified because he doesn't know what literal means, but literally you had James Comer and Jim Jordan bring in spies from Russia and China to lie and testify to try to bring down President Biden. But I digress. Here's Jim Jordan right here just saying he has no evidence. Play this clip. We'd like to ask Alvin Bragg, what prompted you to change your mind? Was it simply the political pressure? And we'd like to ask Mr. Colangelo about his interactions with the Justice Department and or the White House. Well, do you have any information to indicate that Colangelo was stupid enough to be in constant

contact or intermittent contact with his old friends at DOJ as this was all going down. We don't, but look, we think in light of how bad this is, in light of Jack Smith, remember this too, Jack Smith doesn't get appointed special counsel in these federal cases until three days after President Trump announces he's running for office. And Fannie Willis doesn't bring her charges until after President Trump announces he's running for president. So Fannie Willis doesn't bring her charges until after President Trump announces he's running for president. So we think they're all political. We think they're all in

coordination, all run by the Democrat Party, all involved in the Democrat Party, I should say. So we got lots of questions we'd like to ask. And, you know, I think the American people deserve some answers. And frankly, our constitutional duty is to do oversight. And we're going to do that consistent with the Constitution, but we're going to do that consistent with the Constitution, but we're going to do it as aggressive as we can. But Jim, you know where the evidence exists? In the court of law. Before you go out and do these things,

in our system of justice that I want to protect and that the Midas Mighty wants to protect, you need evidence and facts. And that's what matters. Not your bombastic propaganda MAGA strange stuff.
