Jim Jordan Will Not Tell Jan. 6 Panel About His Insurrection-Day Call(s) With Trump, Thank You Very Much | Talking Points Memo

A lot of things happened. Here are some of them.

As 2021 was winding down, the Jan. 6 Committee asked Rep. Jim Jordan to voluntarily cooperate by providing it with information. Now it has Jordan’s unsurprising response: Nope.

Manchin, just like his republican soulmates, seems to take great delight in engaging in bad faith ‘negotiations’. His move toward irrelevance continues on pace, the only question being will he be able to see the destruction of our democracy before he gets there.

Unfortunately, Jim Jordan’s constituency wouldn’t want him to cooperate with this investigation so, why should he? If doing the wrong thing is what get’s people elected then expect these elected officials to act exactly the way they’re acting.

When someone consistently makes mistakes that go against you, it wasn’t a mistake.

It’s past time for Congress to use its inherent power of Contempt. Lock Jorden in the Capitol basement with the hunchback; or lock him in the local Pound. Treat him like a real court and lock him up untill he agrees to testify truthfully. He has the keys to his own freedom- just testify truthfully.

Subpoena Jordan’s ass and if he stonewalls, file criminal contempt charges. NMNQ

(And if/when he does testify, do it in a private hearing…the last thing the Dems need is this clown spewing more conspiracy theories on the TeeVee machine and generating made-to-order video clips for Faux Snooze.

A man has dinner with his wife. Rumors and scandal fly. It’s a shame there was no truth to back up an otherwise juicy story, yet again.

That’s an important thing to keep putting out there. Yes Manchin (and Sinema) are an issue, but there are 50 GQP who keep those two relevant.

Well then.

I guess it’s time to tell America what Jordan and the previous guy in the White House talked about. Then Jordan will blab (already has?) "He wanted to be a part of the committee so that the “facts would be known.”

Then whoops, there goes privilege, again! I’m sure an allied agency will lend a cell to deal with Jordan’s contempt for the House, if he doesn’t at least show to try to claim privilege.

GOP Rep. Scott Perry says he won’t cooperate with House probe of Jan. 6 riot

PUBLISHED TUE, DEC 21 202111:46 AM ESTUPDATED TUE, DEC 21 20211:57 PM EST

  • Rep. Scott Perry, the first lawmaker to be asked to answer questions from the investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, said he would refuse to cooperate with the committee.

Perry made public his refusal to cooperate 20 days ago. 20 days ago. This committee has acknowledged they are under duress as to the time they have to investigate the insurrection. 20 days have passed and no subpoena issued to Perry. And once one is issued it will need litigated.

20 days.

Ugh. Looks like Unvaxxed Tennis Idiot (that’s his name now) is about to get his way against Australia. When rules don’t apply to the rich and famous…

The immigration minister can still say so, but what are the chances of that?

Democrats in the House of Representatives show that you are not conducting a fair-minded and objective inquiry.

Compared to what?

Jordan didn’t learn his prior lesson when he lied and pled ignorance about the sexual abuse. That makes him a compulsive liar.
