It was a couple of weeks ago when House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan sat down with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, and the conservative host expressed her frustration with the House Republicans’ seemingly endless parade of inconsequential investigations.
By all appearances, Jordan’s newest efforts to investigate an investigation — one of the Judiciary Committee chairman’s most unfortunate habits — will probably not amount to much, in part because the conspiracy theory appears to be baseless, and in part because state and local officials will almost certainly ignore Jordan’s requests. He has no jurisdiction over their work, which helps explain why the far-right congressman’s latest efforts to intervene in an ongoing criminal case will fail.
