Jim Jordan Claims Trump Won’t Seek Revenge Against His Political Enemies in Contentious Exchange With CNN’s Dana Bash

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who just won his 10th term in office, insisted that Donald Trump won’t seek retribution against his enemies, after CNN’s Dana Bash rattled off a list of Democrats Trump has vowed to go after.

“Trump has repeatedly threatened to prosecute Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, General Mark Milley, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, New York AG Letitia James, and that’s just some of the people that he has talked about,” Bash said. “Do you support him using the justice department to go after the people who disagree?”

JORDAN: He didn’t do it his first term. What I support is stopping —

BASH: Right, but this is his second term.

JORDAN: What I support it stopping this “lawfare,” stopping this political targeting, political cases — we all know the Fani Willis case, the Alvin Bragg case, and the Jack Smith cases were all driven by politics. The American people understood it, and that’s why they had this overwhelming win, one of the reasons they had this overwhelming win, for President Trump. So, I’m against the retribution. I’m against the Justice Department saying, “If you’re a mom or dad showing up for the school board meeting, we will investigate you.” I’m against the FBI putting together a memorandum at the Richmond field office that if you’re a pro-life Catholic, you’re an extremist. We want all that to stop.

BASH: So, I just want to put a button on this. So, what you are saying is that, all of the times that President Trump said so many things about people that he promised he would go after them and prosecute them, you are going to encourage him not to do that?

JORDAN: Well, all I know is what he didn’t do —

BASH: I know, but we’re talking about —

JORDAN: He talked about, ‘lock her up,‘ his opponent in 2016, Secretary Clinton, he didn’t do that, but the Democrats went after him —

BASH: I know, but I’m talking about Donald Trump’s second term going forward. Since then, he has said many, many times —

JORDAN: I don’t think any of that will happen. We are the party against political prosecution, we are the party against “lawfare,” in fact, I think this is one of the issues —

BASH: So it was just campaign rhetoric? It wasn’t real?

JORDAN: Well, I think he’s pointing out what’s going on.
