I’ve said this to others, but i don’t understand why these dudes are blowing up their protections.

I’ve an idea as to why (it’s going to be hard to expel em), but still…

Would be great if, while under oath, apropos of nothing someone on the committee asked him about that.

Are you referring to the shower room at Ohio State, Jan 6, or both?

Can’t wait for Liz Cheney to slap this mook into a blubbering stupor.

I notice in the letter, they did not address the letter to “The Honorable” Jim Jordan.

But to what end?

Of course he will, if stated only as a matter of principle: How dare you!

But, the committee has to observe the forms, so first the request, then the subpoena, then the referral for criminal contempt. Then the man from the rub-a-buckeye state will file suit against the committee and pelosi and the cafeteria staff with a copypasta of markymeadows’ stop-being-a-meanie suit.

Not boom. This was an ex parte TRO which is rarely granted and almost always decided very quickly because the party filing it asks to court to urgently act without even a response from the party that will be enjoined. To gain that kind of relief, it has to be practically a life or death decision and requires VERY strong evidence of irreparable harm to the moving party.

txlawyer can confirm all of this, but I’ve actually been the target of an ex parte TRO (denied) in the past and as with Michael Flynn in this case, it’s typically filed in the hope of finding a judge willing to swallow any BS the moving party might present.

Not sure about that, it’s more like the gypsy violinist in a restaurant: you have to pay him to go away.

Gim will immediately employ cult logic: I’m suing the committee because, um, because the constitution says I have a right to privacy while seditioning and fellating orange things.

I haven’t seen fantasies this bad since I picked up a copy of Penthouse in highschool. Also, you have no clue how the House or our laws work.

I have nothing to hide, therefor there’s no reason for me to talk to you. GOP Logic 101.

It does appear to say that Flynn didn’t get all his ducks in a row for this filing and that’s why it was denied. It says he can file again if he gets it right.

Gym Jordan has concealed for years sexual assault when he was a coach. He’ll do it with Trump’s attempted coup unless and until he’s in severe legal jeopardy.
