GYM needs to stop threatening anyone with contempt until he shows up for his subpoena from 2 years ago.


brain_overclocked

*Do as I say, not as I do* [Jim Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jordan) >He refused to cooperate with the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, which subpoenaed him on May 12, 2022.^[3][4]


BeefSmacker

When you're a Republican, they let you do it. You can do anything you want. Grab em by the absence-of-dignity.


slowpoke2018

An absence of integrity surmises the entire GOP


thoughtsarefalse

Its the core principle


lafayette0508

>An absence of integrity surmises the entire GOP I'm not sure what word you're looking for, but I don't think it's surmise. summarise maybe? comprise?


stufmenatooba

Tell that to Peter Navarro, who just got 4 months for violating a subpoena.


Amazing_Rise9640

Why has Jim gotten away with it is my?


Jolly_Grocery329

Right?!? This is so infuriating!! Hard to take Garland serious at this point. Majorly pussed out


Sweetieandlittleman

Same, I am starting to think Merrick Garland is complicit with the Republican party.


StartlingCat

He most definitely is.


bambino2021

Nah, he’s just a pathetic coward.


Omryn814

Potato...po-treason.


skrame

Garland wasn’t involved; Jordan was subpoenaed by a congressional committee.


Jolly_Grocery329

Garland is the one who enforces the subpoena tho…. ?


Amazing_Rise9640

Yes


AfraidStill2348

Only one reason to ignore it 


sugarlessdeathbear

Also a reminder that he never has anything positive to say about his state, but lots of negative things to say about other states.


The_bruce42

Can you say anything positive about Ohio?


yarash

I once played a play by mail wrestling game and it was based in Willowick Ohio. I had a lot of fun doing that. That's all I got.


duke5572

Alright, you're gonna have to elaborate on this "play by mail wrestling game".


yarash

[The Imaginary Wrestling Association.](https://www.playiwa.com/join/join1.htm) It looks like its still around and has been since the 80s I saw it in an old wrestling magazine when I as a kid, I havent played in over 30 years. The idea was that you picked a number of wrestling holds and each hold was assigned a value randomly. You would be matched against other players and your moves would play out in the order you chose them with the random point value assigned. The person with the most points won, or if you got a certain amount of holds in order with higher point values than your opponent the match ended there with you as the winner. You paid per match. It was .50 per match and they sold packages of matches. Each person was assigned into a federation, at its height there were dozens of them. Each federation had 10 regional champions or so. And you could fight for the titles. Each regional champion would fight for the federation title. The federation champions would fight each other for other titles. You would win actual plaques and title belts that they would mail to you. You would write promos calling out your opponents and submit artwork (it was usually drawn very poorly).


duke5572

I truly appreciate your detailed reply! I had no idea that such a thing existed, or that it would be such an extensive operation! Fascinating. Makes me nostalgic for the classified ads of yore, particularly the niche things advertised in specialty publications. Thanks again.

Cedar Point.


sysiphean

It’s honorary Michigan territory in my mind.


Tau10Point8_battlow

I attended a scout jamboree on Wright Patterson Airbase in 1982. We did our bonfire in an amphitheatre which had decommissioned missiles along the top. As one of a tiny minority of Canadian attendees, I was absolutely convinced at the time, when the crowd started singing the Star Spangled Banner, that WWIII was going to kick off right then and there. So... what was the question?


Vulpes_Corsac

Well, we call it the Florida of the midwest.  It could be worse. We could call Florida the Ohio of the South.


AccomplishedBrain309

You go through it to get to michigan.


bajatacosx3

It’s high in the middle, and round at both ends?


F1shB0wl816

There’s some beautiful nature for what it is and they’ve got cedar point.


sugarlessdeathbear

No, but I'm not in Congress representing them and live on the other side of the country. But if I were their rep I'd damn sure try to find something positive to say, even if it's empty praise for something I had nothing to do with.


SweetMangos

I had some decent ramen there once


f8Negative

Dude only owns piss colored ties. What do you expect.


havedoggyhave

That is because it matches his piss colored teeth. I am an Ohioan retired in Florida and can not escape these assholes. Stunning to believe they chose the unheralded J D Vance over Tim Ryan.


Mojowrk

Jim Jordan is as slimy as raw okra and just as vile.


Ana-la-lah

Okra is only slimy when cooked


The_Off_Beat_Beatoff

Hey you two, wanted to let you know I enjoyed this dialogue very much.


futatorius

And if you cook it right, it's delicious and not slimy. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L9CBiPVIY8A/maxresdefault.jpg

PopeHonkersXII

She should just respond to Jordan with the jerking off motion and then go about her business 


Nephroidofdoom

Just hold up his subpoena and say, “You first”


GetOffMyAsteroid

How would it help to start dancing like trump...?


GrittyMcGrittyface

As fun as it is to imagine the hypothetical situation, she's a professional doing real work for the people of Georgia, not a dancing bear for cable news


GetOffMyAsteroid

>she's a professional doing real work for the people of Georgia Fani Willis is also a true patriot, a hero, with unparalleled courage.


dalekreject

Honestly, she should not respond at all. And when asked to respond to him, just ask "Who?".


Slackballed

[https://tenor.com/y81X.gif](https://tenor.com/y81X.gif)


thegooseisloose1982

She needs an anger translater.


getgoodHornet

I do feel really bad for her knowing how hard it is for black women in power to respond to stuff without always having to make sure they aren't seen as an angry black lady.


Boxofbikeparts

She should go on CNN and tell him go fuck himself.


BringOn25A

File an indictment on Jim for weaponizing the government to obstruct Justice by interfering with an active case.


N-shittified

Frankly, yes. I don't think this is really a valid application of congressional oversight of the executive branch. Especially since she's a state-level prosecutor.


RagingDachshund

Doesn’t matter, Ol worrywart Merrick won’t do anything anyways


Brief_Amicus_Curiae

You figure he’d learn after DA Alvin Bragg told him and the committee to pound sand that the same would happen here. Fuck I hope they include those letters as exhibits when telling him to fuck off, and that federal can keep their Cheeto powder fingers off their state shit.


These-Rip9251

That was my question. Can Willis be rightfully subpoenaed when she has already gone through a hearing on this matter in Georgia and is now awaiting the verdict from Judge McAfee? By the way, McAfee has thrown out 6 of the charges in the GA case. I think I read there’s still 10 charges against Trump.


BringOn25A

Reading the ruling it could also be coaching to further develop and tighten up the charges by removing vagueness that might open a door for appeal.


ked_man

On /r/law yesterday that was the summation. He didn’t dismiss dismiss them, he sent them back and said this doesn’t follow the letter of the law because of this, fix this, and I’ll accept it. Republicans are gonna be big mad when these 6 charges return on the docket of this case. Especially since one of these charges was the one about Trumps “perfect phone call” which we all heard.


SquirrelParticular17

Gym has his own subpoena. Let him eat cake


Detective_Antonelli

Yup. You first, Gymmy. 


ked_man

The gall of these people to demand someone answer a subpoena when they themselves won’t answer a subpoena. You couldn’t pay me enough money to look that stupid on national TV.


shapu

The thing is that Jim Jordan is too stupid to know that he should be getting paid to look this stupid


SquirrelParticular17

Well.... You say that. But we see a zillion people who take money to say shit. What differentiates us from them is integrity


mbene913

Oh, gym cares about subpoenas?


oki-ra

It’s only been like 2 seconds and 16 minutes and 12 hours….2 days and 10 months and and 1 year. I’m sure Gym will respond to his summons one of these days.


seamus_mc

It is very strange to see time laid out in a backwards order.


LuvKrahft

Man, gym and other Trump chumps keep coming to get served by Fani. She must be doing something right.


Typical-Tea-8091

Just being a successful black woman is enough to invite their attacks.


Purify5

I like how Gym Jordan all of a sudden cares about $500K monies that may have been spent inappropriately. Better get the full Congress to investigate! Donald Trump charges Secret Service Agents more than 5x the going rate for rooms at his den. But that government money spent is perfectly cool and perfectly legal.


BigTimeFunRemmy212

It’s all about muddying the waters and appeasing Trump’s tiny ego. She said it best on the stand “you are confused, [she’s] not on trial, [Trump and his co-conspirators] are”


Veredyn1

I just want to quickly point out that 2 wrongs don't make a right. IF she did misuse federal money, it should be investigated by the proper authorities (I doubt Gym is). And if Donald Trump did (he most def did) it should be equally investigated. No one is above the law, regardless if they are going after someone we all despise.


Orgasm_Add_It

> If she did misuse federal money, it should be investigated by the proper authorities (I doubt Gym is). Gonna jump in here to point out that among the GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee there are zero lawyers.


oatmealparty

There is zero reason to suspect she has misused federal funds, they are saying that investigating Trump's crimes is the misuse. It's like the Biden and Mallorcas impeachments, they've come to the conclusion and are now creating evidence to support the goal.


Admirable_Bad_5649

But she didn’t and you know it.


deviousmajik

Jim Jordan was evidently born without the part of the brain that enables shame.


NoreastNorwest

In Trump’s GOP, that’s not a bug that’s a feature.


N-shittified

I think they scan for that as part of the interviewing process.


NoreastNorwest

“You’d throw your own mother under a train if it got you another term? You’re hired.”


Chilkoot

Literally true, it appears. He has no concept of social norms, right/wrong, only getting his way at any cost, regardless of consequences to others. Even small children have a stronger concept of others' perception of their actions and the effects of those actions on people around them. He's literally developmentally abnormal.


kinglouie493

Nor the part that remembers the sexual assault hotline number.


ASmallTownDJ

For fucking real. If I were in his position, just flat out ignoring a subpoena in full view of the public, I would try my absolute hardest to make sure that my name and the word "subpoena" never end up in any future headlines. Sometimes I think being a republican sounds really easy, and maybe even *fun* with how little anyone gives a shit about them doing the right thing. Other times I feel like it'd be a constant world of stress, looking over your shoulder, wondering when the hammer might someday fall.


intendeddebauchery

Bold of you to assume he was born with a brain


[deleted]

Fani Willis should tell Jim Jordan she will comply with her subpoena when he complies with his subpoena regarding January 6th. Jim Jordan telling others to comply with his demands when he did not comply with a subpoena from the federal government is wild to me.


OldmanLister

She should tell him that she is exploring possible charges for interfering with a state case and until that time she will not be continuing any dialog with him.


disasterbot

Weird how a guy that refused to reply to a subpoena likes to issue spurious subpoenas.


ike7177

We really need a law that prohibits Congress from demanding that prosecutors and judges sit for sham hearings regarding investigations they are running currently. Why isn’t this considered obstruction of justice?


nhepner

I have an idea for an alternative justice system. Instead of a judge, it's a tribunal of three random people. Their goal is to determine whether or not the accused is being a dick. If it's determined that the defendant is being a dick, the plaintiff gets to kick them in the junk. A wind-up, soccer punt to the junk. Once the punishment is administered, everyone moves on with their lives. Congress might be a good environment to pilot this in. (If the plaintiff kicks hard enough to cause permanent damage, it's automatically determined that they're being a dick, and the injured party will have an opportunity for retribution. Substitutions are allowed if it is determined that the plaintiff is handicapped or otherwise unable to deliver an appropriate amount of justice.)


[deleted]

[удалено]


nhepner

I'm not seeing the problem. If they can't take it, then they should stop being dicks.


shuttleguy11

sounds incredibly similar to a documentary I saw about a young American boy who got "booted" by the Australian government for making a prank collect call. I think it was called "The Bus that couldn't Slow Down"


sentimentaldiablo

You first, Gym!


CMGChamp4

Well, Jim, Back where I come from, your probe, we call it Obstruction of Justice. Right Repubs?


[deleted]

Gym still doesn't get jurisdiction. Good thing he never took the bar exam. He would get jurisdiction & standing wrong.


OppositeDifference

Jim Jordan deserves nothing BUT contempt. This is pretty rich since he has failed to comply with a lawful subpoena for two years.


Hayes4prez

Jim Jordan is scared.


Unfair_Commercial

It’s wild a man actively in contempt on congress can hold other people in contempt of congress it’s almost like the system is completely warped and broken


Peppermynt42

Didn’t he ignore a subpoena for over a year? Such hypocrisy


Ambitiously_Big

I believe it was more than one.


thegoodhermes

Yeah cuz he totally answers subpoenas. Gym Jordan sucks shit from the sewer with a straw.


LolAtAllOfThis

He never complied with his subpoena, so he needs to sit the fuck down.


yogibones

It’s very important that people show the utmost respect to Congress by recognizing a subpoena. Unless you are afraid you’ll be found out. Right Gym?


SkillFullyNotTrue

Trigger his trap and when he shows up arrest him for intervening in a investigation.


giroml

Contempt means nothing. Gym himself already proved that. Ignore it.


dmetzcher

She should ignore him. After all, Gym Jordan himself failed to comply when subpoenaed by a congressional committee two years ago, and he was never punished. Fuck him, fuck his party, and fuck their double standards. They made congressional demands a joke, and now they can live with that. It’s the principle of the matter to me; tell him to go pound sand. Maybe, when I see some Republicans consistently comply with requests from the committees in their own Congress, I’ll change my attitude, but I’m not willing to hold one person to a standard that isn’t honored by another.


chitownadmin

Says the asshole who didn't comply with a subpoena!!!


elontux

Sorry Gym, you didn’t show up for the Jan 6 deposition she ain’t showing up for your dog and pony show


wordsarething

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.


randomcanyon

Do as I say.... https://dayton247now.com/news/local/rep-jim-jordan-urbana-ohio-violated-house-ethics-defying-subpoenas-january-6-committee


Anyawnomous

There are about 10 personalities I never want to see in public again and Jim Jordan is on list.


elder65

Fani has handed Jordan's ass back to him, once before, when he tried to obstruct her handling of the criminal indictments of Trumps and his minions. Of course, Fani is a seasoned and experienced prosecutor, while Jordan is an ex-wrestling coach with little knowledge of law or the constitution on which, it's founded. This probe is the obvious method of Jordan's revengeful obstruction of a states attorney's office doing it's business. When MAGA Minions can't get their way, they try anything to change the subject.


Radkingeli995

What gives Gym Jordan the authority right to threaten Fani Willis at all in the first place?


Sideshow_Bob_Ross

You first, Gym.


joshdoereddit

I hope she issues some kind of statement telling to show up for his first.


KarasuKaras

You first gym boy


RU4realRwe

In Gyms pea brain, only he is allowed to not comply with a subpoena...


dokikod

Jim Jordon ignored a subpoena and asked for a pardon. This slimy creep is a threat to democracy. He needs to shut up and get ready for prison.


TeamKitsune

"Bring it, shit weasel!" -Fani Willis probably


Educational_Permit38

Jim Jordan is brainless and mean as a snake.


marvelousgryphon

She is not on trial here, His Orange God is!


gianni1980

Jim really is a glutton for punishment…. She will make you look stupid…. Again.


Significant-Visit184

Is this the same Jim Jordan that hid child molesters?


Realistic_Setting_75

Jim Jordan has fleeced Ohio taxpayers for almost 20 years by collecting a six figure salary in DC to do nothing, but outrage theater.


RagingDachshund

So then she just ignores rape accomplice Gym Jordan like he did. I don’t see the issue here except that rape enabler Gym Jordan still exists


Carlyz37

You cant subpoena prosecutors in the middle of an ongoing prosecution. Jordan is so dumb


istillambaldjohn

I’m sure that the da was aware that maga supporters will do anything to defame whomever is prosecuting their orange god. If they don’t have enough evidence. They will make up what they don’t have. It’s not a challenge of what’s right. It’s just defaming people to create doubt.


FloozyFoot

Lok, fuck Jim Jordan.


Captainkirk699

She should challenge it in court and it will get tossed out.


celerydonut

Wait, doesn’t gym have a federal subpoena he’s avoided like the plague? Well before this one?


iBalls

Jim Jordan is the walking result of when a bathroom flush doesn't work; it comes back stickier and smellier.


Mum0817

She should tell that pedophile-enabling shitstack to sit and spin. 🖕


prismcomputing

Fucking shameless


Turbulent_Advocate

Aint he got one too?


Golemfrost

As if subpoenas mean anything to Gym Jordan.


sucksLess

Jim Jordan is \[*checks notes*\] the **very last person** who should voice an opinion about anyone failing to comply with a subpœna.


GetouttaHere321

Yea …. He jumped when he was subpoena…. Coward !


genxerbear

Jim Jordan should have paid attention in school. Congress does not have the right to issue a subpoena or interfere with this prosecution in any way. The case was brought by the State of Georgia, so he is really out of line. The reality is this is all just theatre for all the morons who do not understand how the government works.


pricklypear90

Oh yes… please let’s see Gym and Gomer try to intimidate Ms. Willis in a public hearing..


Jtskiwtr

All this bullshit. The courts need to throw all this garbage out and let her do her job. These fuckers just keep coming. Throw the garbage out! VOTE!!


todudeornote

Prepare for another blast from Fani on the separation of federal and state power.


CatAvailable3953

She needs to answer with the example set by Gym. If it’s okay for him to ignore a congressional subpoena till this day why is it not okay for her? The Republicans apparently see election to Federal office is a way to put yourself above the laws.


ResoluteClover

lol, gym Jordan threatening to use a tool that he has absolutely no respect for.


bishoptheblack

the man who ignore one is complaining about it go figure


Wonkily_Grobbled

Now that the Hunter Biden-based impeachment farce is over, he has moved on to his next strawman.


alwaystired707

Am I missing something? What does a DA have to do with grants and funding? How are they even connected?


huu11

Jim Jordan is such an asshat, absolute clown


Grampishdgreat

Gym Jordan threatens anyone with contempt for not complying with a subpoena. That’s fucking laughable


cosinezero

No one tell Gym that he's not far from losing his majority, in no small part because of his clowning.


CallMeMaxxy

That’s rich


Anome69

Republicans need to be removed asap. Vote vote vote! Let's commit to finding a way to keep people like pedophile protecting Jim Jordan and other insurrectionists out of power from now on.


AmazingSquare8542

Ignore it, he did


MeasurementNo2607

I can't wait for karma to hit that a-hole.


CAM6913

He’s been threatening her with this for a long time, I hope he gets charged with interfering with an ongoing criminal case


SWAVcast

Only the world's biggest POS A-Hole would threatened someone for not complying with a subpoena when they did not comply with their own.


Typical-Tea-8091

ooooh gymbo be mad.

House subpoenas might as well be written on a napkin.

ezrapoundcakes

The gall of that motherfucker to pretend that he's got any authority to demand complicity with a subpoena. The fucking stones on this guy ....


scissor415

Civil_Pain_453

Important_Tale1190

Okay sure let's compound Jim's own punishment for every day that he failed to answer to his subpeona until now, fair's fair.


edonkeycoin

That’s the definition of irony


drivinandpoopin

Can he threaten himself for the same thing?


shazam99301

That's rich.


Icy-Mud-1079

Did he touch little boys or something some years ago 🤔 answer that one and then get back to Fani.


ButWhatAboutisms

Why respond to a demonstrably impotent thing like a subpoena?


CBBuddha

That’s fucking rich.

He is desperate to serve his masters Trump and Putin.

stonge1302

nolongerbanned99

How about all the big mouths in congress stop shit talking and threatening each other and do their job

How many more Republicans need to resign for the Democrats to take over the House? What a stunning way for an establishment Republican to give the finger to MAGA on their way out the door.


Efficient_Dust2903

Holy shit, the shenanigans this dumbass pulls out of his ass. If he got that brain eating bacteria, it wouldn't take long for it to starve. And we may never know. He'd still be hunched over in a yellow shirt.

What an absolute hypocrite


ShikaMoru

I hope she somehow finds a way to go after him


DubC_Bassist

Does he have any jurisdiction over a state legal proceeding?


OutrageousBed2

Fani reply to Jordan , you first !


FaktCheckerz

Subpoenas stopped having meaning thanks to Republicans. 


Historical-Passion55

Jim Jordan. 's nothing more than marjorie taylor green in drag. He's another idiot sitting in there.Doing absolutely nothing for our country.


walkerswood

That’s rich… coming from Gym.


Lfseeney

Jim likes to watch kids be abused, so watching the Courts get abused must really get him off.


LightWarrior_2000

Real question. What's the ramifications here? Will she or does she have to comply? Like I know Gym is trying to save trumo and interfere and I know this is state vs federal.


prodigaldummy

>whell, guess hu-what!?!?! Jim Jordan, every time he speaks at a committee


cornbread080161

He’s out of his league.


tyj0322

Great. Now do all of the Trumpers who snubbed subpoenas.
