Why Jim Jordan’s latest effort to protect Trump will probably go belly-up.
To justify this, Jordan hints at nefarious coordination between Willis and Smith. But Erica Hashimoto, a professor at Georgetown Law, notes that federal and state prosecutors often confer on cases with violations of federal and state law. “It happens all the time,” Hashimoto told me.that compromises her case, which alleges a
by Trump and numerous confederates to illegally corrupt the electoral process at many levels. Jordan may subpoena Willis, but she might well take that to court, says Hashimoto.a full vote to enforce the subpoena. But vulnerable Republicans at voting for a symbolic measure expunging Trump’s impeachments. A vote aligning themselves with Trump and against law enforcement on a matter involving an ongoing criminal prosecution of him would be much worse.“The more votes you take on this, the more you’re bonded as a marginal member to Trump,” Rep. Eric Swalwell , a member of the Judiciary Committee, told me.
Besides, even if Republicans did get everything they want, it’s unlikely to reveal anything that would derail the prosecution of Trump in any case. Hashimoto told me: “There’s not much that Congress can do, because this is a state prosecution.” To be sure, if Jordan can spread enough of a vague impression of wrongdoing related to the prosecutions, it might sow doubts in the minds of one juror on any given case. As Swalwell put it, the real goal of GOP efforts is to “tamper with the jury before they’re seated.”For years now, a leading project of much of the GOP has been to treat Trump’s unprecedented corruption as beyond reproach and accountability in every conceivable way.
