Democratic congressmen should change their focus from impeachment to probing former FBI Director James Comey and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Monday.
"When you're solely focused on going after the president you can't do what's best for the country – and that's been the problem with the Democrats," Jordan said.
"Jim Comey . . . is the guy solely responsible for putting the country through three years of this saga that we have now lived through," Jordan said, insisting many Americans come up to him wanting to know "when someone's going to jail" over alleged wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia and Clinton email probes.
Last month, a Justice Department inspector general report said Comey violated FBI policy when he revealed details about discussions with President Donald Trump to people outside the agency. Last year, the inspector general also criticized Comey's handling of the probe into Clinton's use of a private server for emails while she was secretary of state.
Jordan said, "The Michael Cohen hearing didn't work out the way [Democrats] wanted. The John Dean hearing didn't work out the way they wanted and of course, the Bob Mueller hearing and that investigation didn't work out the way they wanted."
But he said that "doesn't stop them. They're going to continue to push this ridiculous impeachment narrative. When they're focused on this warrantless impeachment inquiry, you're not getting done the things we need to be doing, like fixing the border situation – dealing with . . . the intellectual property theft of China. Things we're supposed to deal with on the Judiciary Committee."
