@blktarockstar818 Sending the first letter perhaps wasn't obstruction, as it seemed Jordan was ignorant on the bounds of his authority. The second was. And his utterances on television are also obstruction of justice, as these might influence a jury on the case.
Politicians must always stay out of criminal investigations. Any involvement they have is obstruction of justice. That is why in a real democracy, politicians will ALWAYS respond with "I can't comment on an ongoing investigation", even when asked by a reporter. Which is also why in a real democracy, every politician who is indicted will step back so as to be able to defend themselves.
Except in very rare cases like the "Minder, Minder" charge against Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, where the question was about what a politician can say without it becoming a hate crime, i.e. clarifying the bounds within which a politician must operate.
18 U.S. Code § 1503 (a) "Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United State, ... shall be punished as provided in subsection b"
So it is a crime for any politician to comment on any criminal case and say "this is a witch hunt" or "politically motivated". Or, Jim Jordan calling Braggs indictment of Trump an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority." That is threatening language, and language designed to influence and intimidate.
So, respectfully, please refrain from calling for people to "research topics before making assertions", when in fact it is you who are wrong. There is plenty of evidence to indict a whole slew of MAGA politicians with regards to their Obstruction of Justice in this specific case.
