Mike Davis: Jim Jordan Has To Step Up Immediately

 "Article III Project" founder Mike Davis calls for Rep. Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary and "Weaponization Of Government" Committees to take action to investigate people bringing criminal cases against Donald Trump

"This is a criminal conspiracy. Let's start bringing in these witnesses and their documents, get them down on paper with staff depositions," Davis said during a conversation with Steve Bannon on "War Room."

"This judge is going to put Trump in prison if he can. And this is why Jim Jordan and this Weaponization Committee need to step up immediately with aggressive subpoenas, with staff depositions, with public hearings -- go on offense," he urged. "So the House Republicans, the Weaponization Committee must step up, what the hell did they set up this committee to do if they're not stepping up right now?"

MIKE DAVIS: I have not heard any indication whatsoever that Jim Jordan is hamstrung by the prior Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, or the current Speaker Mike Johnson on his investigation. He has full authority under the Judiciary Committee and the Weaponization Committee to move forward and move forward fast. So let's just put that on the table right now.

What Jim Jordan needs to be doing is issuing subpoenas immediately, immediately for both documents and for witnesses. And you call in these witnesses to staff depositions and you should be having these staff depositions every day or every other day. And so you bring in these key players and figure out what the hell is going on.

This is obviously a conspiracy with the Biden White House. You had Matthew Colangelo going from the Biden Justice Department to Bragg's office to bring this case that passed over by the prior Manhattan DA, the Manhattan US attorney, the Federal Election Commission, and Bragg himself until Colangelo went to the Manhattan DA's office to bring this zombie case, to resurrect the zombie case.

You had Nathan Wade billing 16 hours for his meetings with the Biden White House, including the White House counsel before Fani Willis brought her indictment. You had Jonathan Su and Jay Brat orchestrating the Mar-a-Lago rate, right? This is a criminal conspiracy. Let's start bringing in these witnesses and their documents, get them down on paper with staff depositions.

Let them try to plead the Fifth Amendment, let them try to claim executive privilege, bring them in and make them do this right? And then fight it in court. We need to be more aggressive.

Again, we're in week four of this criminal trial. This Judge Juan Merchan donated to Biden. His adult daughter, Lauren, has raised tens of millions of dollars off this criminal prosecution.

When Trump raises this evidence of bias, bias that even a former federal Clinton judge in the Southern District of New York said on Kaitlan Collins' show on April 5th on CNN that this required Merchan's recusal. How did Merchan respond? He expanded this illegal, unconstitutional gag order on Trump. So he can't even talk about this. And now he's threatening to throw Trump in prison.

This judge is going to put Trump in prison if he can. And this is why Jim Jordan and this Weaponization Committee need to step up immediately with aggressive subpoenas, with staff depositions, with public hearings -- go on offense. It's a zero-sum game. If we're on offense, they're on defense and vice versa.

STEVE BANNON: Your point you're trying to make is that [the House] Judiciary [Comnmittee] is fully empowered by kind of mandate to go do something like this. They don't need to get signed off, so they can go do everything you just said the subpoenas, the documents, subpoenas for documents, for testimony to do under oath, videotaped depositions, all of it. Correct?

DAVIS: Yes. I would say to Jim Jordan, I'll go volunteer for you if you need help. Like, let's get moving on this. We are in week four of this criminal prosecution, they're going to put Trump in prison if they can. This judge is already threatening this. This is illegal lawfare and election interference by these Democrats. This is a conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.

It's a very serious civil rights felony that Biden, his White House, including his White House Counsel, his Justice Department, including Garland and Colangelo. Jonathan Su in the White House Counsel's Office, these Democrat DAs like, you know, like Alvin Bragg and Fannie Willis and her dumb boyfriend, Nathan Wade and Big Tish James in New York and the Arizona Attorney General. This is a criminal conspiracy.

They timed this lawfare, these indictments and these civil prosecutions, to go after Trump during the election season to interfere in the election. And there are outside actors too that are part of this conspiracy. People like Andrew Weissman, right? And so the House Republicans, the Weaponization Committee must step up, what the hell did they set up this committee to do if they're not stepping up right now?
