The account overseen by Jim Jordan is receiving new attention for struggling with basic legal concepts after it railed against the search warrant executed on the Florida home of Donald Trump. Jordan is listed as the ranking member in the House Judiciary GOP's bio on its website. If they can do it to a former President, imagine what they can do to you. — House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) August 8, 2022 The FBI executing a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is referred to as "it." Jordan and the rest of the committee should know that the process is the same for former presidents and everyone else, according to the GOP. The fact that the law applies to the president, and not just the rest of us, is a feature of democracy, not a bug. https://t.co/m4SrVOTGvF — Yair Rosenberg (@Yair_Rosenberg) August 9, 2022 Thank you, House Judiciary GOP, for summarizing succinctly the principle of "the rule of law": the law applies to everyone, even a former President. https://t.co/nhDxOjb8EB — Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) August 9, 2022 Hi Gym. There isn’t a judge in the country who would sign off on this warrant without significant probable cause & you know it. — snipz (@SnipzPA) August 9, 2022 When I try to overthrow the government, invalidate a free and fair election, illegally steal classified documents, and engage in lavish corruption as President, I'll expect them. https://t.co/YAuRnIVk48 — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) August 9, 2022 I'm Black, so I've been contending with the very real possibility of much worse than the fiction you're claiming since the day I was born. https://t.co/4RIXsx4pgc — Franklin Leonard (@franklinleonard) August 9, 2022 I didn’t flush any presidential records down the toilet or move classified documents to my house in violation of various federal laws so I think I’m okay but thanks for the concern. https://t.co/eAjcHPdCsI — Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) August 9, 2022 Yes, if you break the law and steal top secret documents from the White House and commit some of the most heinous crimes in American history, this too can happen to you. That’s a GREAT precedent! That’s called justice. — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) August 9, 2022 In which the GoP members of the Judiciary committee take a brave stand against the 4th Amendment. Motherfuckers, do you think any of us thought the FBI *couldn't* search our homes if they had sufficient probable cause to convince a judge to sign a warrant? https://t.co/Cn0vOFS0yo

If I stole classified documents from the White House (allegedly), I certainly hope they'd do it to me. Please explain why they shouldn't, a-holes. https://t.co/AZhTkBUdIS

If they can investigate Donald Trump for a crime, they might be able to investigate YOU for a crime!!!!
The unspeakable horrors of being a criminal!!!! https://t.co/TbCpUc4aH0

I don't plan on stealing any classified documents or committing treason anytime soon, so I think we're probably good here. Thanks for your concern though.
