Subpoena the asshole and issue a second subpoena for his suit jacket.

This is Gym trying to “get out in front of it” before he has to admit it in a hearing with the committee.

YEs, theY debateD Derridian différance meNtionEd in his 1963 paper “Cogito et hiSTOIRE de la folie”. NoThing to See Here.

For those who know better than I, could we safely assume that the NSA has information about these calls, and perhaps even recordings of these calls? Is the Jan. 6 commission investigating with or without the benefit of our own spy agencies’ knowledge? Not sure what they’re allowed to collect or how it is siloed. Would love to know.

What a wormy fker. Truly.

benthere · July 28, 2021, 10:24am

Fess up, jock strap snapper!

benthere · July 28, 2021, 10:26am

Does he even own a suit jacket? His whole demeanor is tacky as hell!

emiliano4 · July 28, 2021, 10:28am

I wouldn’t mind knowing why Liz went ballistic with Gym on 6 Jan.

He’s obnoxious, boorish and churlish anyway, but methinks there is a 6 Jan reason, also

bunnyvelour · July 28, 2021, 10:29am

Starting to say it a little louder every day, it seems

isakindamagic · July 28, 2021, 10:30am

Jim is trying to get into that room no matter what. Fishing for a subpoena even.

mondfledermaus · July 28, 2021, 10:30am

I would be interesting if/when Cheney questions Gym. Republicans are going to regret burning bridges with Liz Cheney

theod · July 28, 2021, 10:31am

Yeah, treat him like HRC in Benghazi hearings but he will never tell the truth because he is a craven lying POS.

I’m not an expert on this, but I think that the NSA can only monitor foreign nationals.

Now if a foreign national is on a three-way phone call with Jordan and Trump…

callmeeric · July 28, 2021, 10:32am

“— I talked to the president,” Jordan reportedly said at the time.

So glad he recused himself.

emiliano4 · July 28, 2021, 10:32am

He won’t, but we can try, with Pro Questioners.

enceladus · July 28, 2021, 10:32am

I’m sure that gym and the orange one exchanged lies on the 6th as they doubtless do in every conversation. And quite likely they also discussed insurrection strategy and the overthrow of our duly elected government. Just another day in the life of those longing for a corrupt authoritarian regime in the land of the free.

john_adams · July 28, 2021, 10:36am

If by “talk” you mean genuflected and kissed the fat asshole’s ring, then spread Trump’s giant ass cheeks so he could deliver a performance for the ages on the old rusty trombone, then yeah, I’d agree Jordan “talked” to Fat Donnie on Insurrection Day.

…and then ask him questions about his experiences enabling sexual abuse under the heading: credibility of the witness…
