Yet another misrepresentation of the facts in turgid Congressman Jim Jordan’s bitchy meltdown over the prosecution of his Orange Lord and Savior was revealed Monday, as Politico reports a former FBI official’s closed-door interview to the House Judiciary Committee about the lead-up to the raid Mar-a-Lago wasn’t even remotely as damaging as Jordan made it sound in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding more documents and testimony from the Bureau.
What Jordan describes as former FBI Washington Field Office Chief Steven D’Antuono having “expressed strong concerns with the Department’s pursuit of the raid” during the in last week was actually a tactical disagreement between the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors that D’Antuono said was “an everyday discussion,” per Politico. “We made comments like this – like, ‘no one is down there anyway at this point,’ right. It’s empty. The [former] president is gone. He was in Bedminster, or wherever he was. Let’s plan this the right way. We’ve got time,” said D’Antuono.
Stupid story short, Jordan cherry-picked from the interview to try the best he could to make it sound like D’Antuono was having some sort of crisis of conscience over subjecting the Orange Allah to such an atrocity when none of that happened. “So if somebody took it the other way, I’m sorry, but that’s – that was just the general discussion that we would have in every case. Every case,” literally is what D’Antuono told investigators in the interview last Tuesday.
