House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) absolutely demolished Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano on Thursday.

Just one week after the Trump Justice Department announced a civil rights investigation into Descano’s office for alleged bias favoring illegal alien criminals over American citizens, the far-left prosecutor was hauled before Congress – and he melted down when confronted with his own words and deadly policies.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, Descano was set to testify in the hearing titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies.”

What unfolded was pure gold: Jordan caught Descano red-handed trying to memory-hole his own campaign promise to let immigration status influence charging and plea decisions.

This comes after the murder of Stephanie Minter, 41, who was stabbed to death in February by an illegal alien from Sierra Leone with over thirty arrests.

Police say Abdul Jalloh, 32, rode on the same bus as Stephanie Minter and was seen getting off the bus with her. Soon afterward police were called to the scene where Minter was found with multiple stab wounds to her upper body.

Under the Soros-backed prosecutors, crimes like this by illegal aliens frequently occur in Fairfax County.

Jordan went straight for the jugular, demanding to know why Descano suddenly changed his campaign website last month, conveniently right after the committee sent him a letter demanding he testify.

Descano claimed that it was too “obtuse” to understand the difference between what he told voters to get elected and what he actually does in office.

Jim Jordan:
“Mr. Descano, why did you change your website?”

Steve Descano:
“Sir, first of all, let me address what you had said.”

Jim Jordan:
“No, no, no. You answered the questions we asked. You answered the questions we asked. I asked a simple question: Why did you change your website last month?”

Steve Descano:
“Well, sir, your statements about we’re not—don’t want to prosecute guys is absolutely false, and my policies are right in this hearing.”

Jim Jordan:
“Are you saying what the sheriff wrote me is wrong?”

Steve Descano:
“No. What I’m saying is that the way my policies have been presented in this hearing is outrageous.”

Jim Jordan:
“December 16th. She said the Commonwealth’s Attorney—that’s you—chose not to prosecute Mr. Morales-Ortiz on December 16th, and they had to release him. They had to do their job because you wouldn’t prosecute. What happened on December 17th, Mr. Descano?”

Steve Descano:
“Let’s talk about December 16th.”

Jim Jordan:
“No, no, that’s the question. What happened on December 17th? This same guy murdered somebody. This guy murdered somebody, and I’m asking you: Why did you change your website?”

Steve Descano:
“Well, do you not want me to talk to you about the actual case?”

Jim Jordan:
“I want you to answer the first question I said: Why did you change your website?”

Steve Descano:
“Well, sir, because the website is not my policy. My policy is—you are referring to a campaign statement.”

Jim Jordan:
“I think the voters might be interested in that. Was this your campaign website where you said, ‘Our office will take immigration consequences into account when making charging and plea decisions’? Immigration consequences were certainly part of the game here, part of the issue here with Mr. Morales-Ortiz.”

Steve Descano:
“No, they weren’t.”

Jim Jordan:
“You decided not to prosecute.”

Steve Descano:
“Absolutely were not. You are assuming something that is not—in fact, untrue—because you are misrepresenting my policies. My policies do not say that we do not prosecute people for criminal immigration.”

Jim Jordan:
“Well, if you’re proud of your policies, why did you change your website?”

Steve Descano:
“Because that’s not my policy. As I told you, sir, that is a campaign statement that I made before I was Commonwealth’s Attorney.”

Jim Jordan:
“Mr. Descano, it had been up for six years. A week after we sent you a letter saying we want you to come testify, shazam, you change it. Is that coincidental?”

Steve Descano:
“Because I could not believe that people were so obtuse that they could not realize the difference between a campaign statement and an actual office policy.”

Jim Jordan:
“So when you make campaign statements, those aren’t true? You’re not being honest with your voters?”

Steve Descano:
“That’s not what I’m saying at all, sir.”

Jim Jordan:
“It sure sounded like it.”

Steve Descano:
“That’s absolutely not. What I’m saying is that when you—”

Jim Jordan:
“You still haven’t told me why you took it down.”

Steve Descano:
“Because I was hoping to come here to talk about my office policies, not be distracted by a campaign statement made a year before I was actually Commonwealth’s Attorney and had any cases that were mine.”

Jim Jordan:
“This is almost laughable. This is your policy. You said it right here. You told the voters, ‘If you elect me, I will take into account immigration consequences when making charging and plea decisions.’”

Steve Descano:
“This is my policy, not what you have in your hand.”

Jim Jordan:
“Oh, okay. So what you said to the voters is not real, doesn’t count?”

Steve Descano:
“No, sir.”

Steve Descano:
“What I’m saying is that, as an officeholder, my office is run by my policy.”

Jim Jordan:
“Your sheriff said you wouldn’t prosecute. This guy gets released, kills someone the next day. We start asking about it. You change your website and take down the statements that say you’re going to take into account immigration consequences when you decide who you are going to charge.”

Steve Descano:
“My policy is public. It has been public the entire time I’ve been in office, sir.”
