But Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blocked Jordan from taking that position, denying the auctioneer-talking representative the ability to thwart the inquiry from within.
It was more that she knew Jordan was quite probably an instigator and planner of January 6th. How could she allow a perpetrator to be an investigator?
Are you referring to the shower room at Ohio State, Jan 6, or both?
Yes!
I so look forward to him and all the rest of the traitors being expelled from Congress and then arrested for treason.
According (or not specified) in the 14th Amendment, it’s therefore any damned way the House decides.
The key aspect of deploying 14th Amendment Section 3 disqualification is an insurrection finding by the House.
So this isn’t a fantasy. The House and Senate expelled many members this way after the Civil War.
And remember, what happens in the shower, stays in the shower.
I have to say that few things would make me happier than Rep. Jordan in irons, his clothing filled with maggots, and his skin covered with blood-sucking leeches.
The House Jan. 6 Committee asked Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to provide information about the Capitol insurrection
Okay, okay. Baby steps.
I’d say he’s already in significant legal jeopardy. He can either incriminate himself in a conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, or take the 5th, or refuse to show. Either of the latter two options results in a criminal referral to DoJ. Plus they make him of interest to those who’ve already filed civil suits over having to defend against the capitol hill assault.
Gyminy Cricket! Your popularity here on TPM has prompted a tsunami of good folks who want to give you free advice…
“I have nothing to hide. I’ve been straightforward all along.”
Positively Nixonesque.
Jordan said at a Rules Committee hearing, “I have nothing to hide. I’ve been straightforward all along.”
He’ll get over it.
Didn’t the committee already access the phone records from the phone companies? They don’t have the exact content of texts and calls, but they have the dates and times the calls were made as well as to whom the calls were made…
No lie, Jordan needs a Superfly Splash.
Clear as mud.
When you go to family reunions to meet women-----
“I am not a creep!”
When the only forks in the family are the plastic ones from Dollar Tree.
They do not. (Otherwise all those thumb-headed henchmen who keep filing suits to block the committee getting those would be moot.) There’s a good likelihood, in my non-expert opinion, that the FBI has that, already, however.
Why waste the toner?
Especially since it sets one.
