And then he turned to Jim Jordan and the Speaker of the House:

He got strong support from McCarthy:

And from Jordan:

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) confirmed to The New York Times’ Luke Broadwater that he plans to meet with his panel’s attorneys to formulate a response to the target letter.

“It’s ridiculous," Jordan told Broadwater.

"There are all kinds of ridiculous things happening at the Justice Department.”

Yeah, a sternly worded letter to come from the House Judiciary Committee Chair in response to a target letter to an ex-President is not ridiculous.  That and a reference to Trump's polling will certainly set Jack King back on his heels, alrighty!  One could almost say MTG was more effective:

Meanwhile, the Attorney General of Michigan is obviously a deranged Democrat driven power-mad by her hatred for Trump:

Oh, wait, Trump is not a defendant here?  Well, never mind! Nothing to see here!

Interestingly, a bunch of boomers.

Asa Hutchinson: "While Donald Trump would like the American people to believe that he is the victim in this situation...the real victims of January 6th were our democracy, our rule of law, and those Capitol Police officers who worked valiantly to protect our Capitol." pic.twitter.com/F6oPn8NqGa

Yeah, Hutchison will never even make it to the debate stage!

Ron DeSantis' CNN interview has been pushed back later in the hour bc of 1) reaction to Donald Trump's pending third indictment, 2) update from FL about Donald Trump's second indictment, and 3) breaking news about the Michigan attorney general charging the fake Trump electors.

I'm pretty sure this is somehow all bad news for Biden.
