    @scorpius66678 months ago I hope Gym Jordan continues his illegal interference into the State of Georgia's right to prosecute people who commit crimes in Georgia! Then Fani Willis would be able to charge and prosecute Jordan for obstruction of justice!👍👍
    For being the Chair of the House Judicial committee Gym Jordan knows nothing about the law! Jordan's only reason for being in that Chair is to obstruct justice!

    @peterdeij93888 months ago As a foreigner I can only conclude that you don't have to be intelligent to make it to Congress and it looks now that it is beneficial to your career to be without a shred of intellectual honesty.

    @user-sn5so7lb1x8 months ago Quote by Willis continued: ..." "Your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law , its practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically. While settled constitutional law clearly permits me to ignore your unjustified and illegal intrusion into an open state criminal prosecution, I will take a moment to voluntarily respond to parts of your letter." ... 4

    @user-sn5so7lb1x8 months ago Also, Another Article Quote : "With regard to her filing under the RICO statute, Willis made a point of reminding the blustery Ohio Republican (J.Jordan) that he never passed the bar after attending law school , writing that he can still continue his education by purchasing legal expert John Floyd's RICO book "for the non-bar member price of $249." ... 4
