No one is above the law

Big IF. But she is not claiming he doesn’t have jurisdiction, only posters here are.

Yeah honestly I dont know either. But it makes sense. I would think congress lacks oversight authority over a state case.

So, not actually knowing, I cant say shes acting "above the law" with any confidence.

Doesn’t work in real life.

This is a forum, not real life so I don't really get your point. Do you mean that Jordan is above the law that he is trying to impose on a state official? Or that in real life, people call on Fani Willis to be arrested for something Jim Jordan has done even though this law would apply to him and not her?

But nice try at a whataboutism.

It's not exactly whataboutism since Jim Jordan is a key character in both scenarios.

But Fani Willis seems to think she is

MSN

Congressional investigators are giving Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis a deadline to comply with document production requests related to her conversations with various federal authorities about investigations into President-elect Donald Trump.​

​

The embattled Democratic Party prosecutor has until Dec. 9, to turn over any such files, according to a letter sent by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, on Wednesday.​

​

The epistolary arguments began in August 2023, when the committee asked Willis for files related to her office’s “receipt and use of federal grant funds issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.”​

​

Two additional letters asking for substantially the same materials followed in September and December of last year.​

​

The Democratic DA seems to think she does not have to comply with the Judicial Oversight Committee is requesting - stonewalling information since August of 2023.

​

There are those who are above the Law. Money talks. We hear of those who get caught and lose.
It would be nice if only the righteous prospered and the wicked were thwarted. Not on this earth. "He causes it to rain on the just and the unjust."

She has claimed that, with appropriate legal citations.

“As I make clear below, there is no justification in the Constitution for Congress to interfere with a state criminal matter, as you attempt to do.”

She must be "no one" - like Hunter.

....except Jim Jordan gets a pass. Apparently.

 

[rambot]

Sorry. Didn't the Supreme Court explicitly state that the President absolutely CAN be above the law?

 

[Postvieww]

State =/= federal. Jordan has no jurisdiction.

She's not hiding anything, but as a prosecutor, as a matter of course she's not going to share anything that might queer the jury in an ongoing case if it were publicly revealed.

How often have we heard that “ongoing investigation “ bull dust from this administration?

Personally I've heard it lots of times before hearing the phrase "criminal conviction" of a Trump campaign or administration official.
