Jordan is good at brushing off multiple, highly credible accusations of wrongdoing. Just ask the wrestlers at Ohio State.

Every time Jim Jordan brushes off an accusation, an Ohio State wrestler gets his team physical.

No thank you, but I appreciate that you do and then sum them up so I donā€™t have to listen to any more of that odious cretin than necessary.

ā€œFucking moronā€ - Rex Tillerson.

Oh and I guess DoJ was forced by the Judge to turn the McCabe records over to CREW. Santa Fe Daughter says Judge was pissed. Told DoJ this is your last chance. Charge him or turn over the records. So DoJ had to develop a schedule of transference. Itā€™s becoming more unlikely that McCabe will be prosecuted.

Oh and The Orange One had an unscheduled medical exam today. Nothing trivial, I hope.

Timothy Morrison, a former White House national security official, told House investigators in sworn testimony that he feared leaks of the contents of the July 25 call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky would be damaging, so he recommended restricting access to the transcript.

Morrison, an expert on Russia and Ukraine who served on the National Security Council before leaving the job at the end of October, said he knew immediately after listening to the call where Trump asks Zelensky to investigate the Bidens that they needed to keep it under wraps.

ā€œI recommended to them that we restrict access to the package,ā€ Morrison said, according to a transcript of his Oct. 31 testimony released by House Democrats on Saturday.

This is what hacks do. I would be surprised if I saw that Jordan said anything else. Heā€™s a dead-ender.

The speed of the response says more than what he says anyway.

My first reaction was ā€œprobably setting up his alibi for leaving for ā€˜medical reasonsā€™ - who would prosecute a guy whoā€™s so sick!?!ā€

But these people must have really corrupted me, as my next reaction was ā€œWould be cool if he really is sickā€ā€¦

It is amazing how far white skin, a square jaw, a loud voice and completely unjustified self-confidence can get you in America if you are willing to parrot Republican talking points 24/7. I canā€™t think of a finer example of that than Gym.

Donā€™t get your hopes up. Doctor Ronnie probably wants to try out a new Paroxetine-Prozac mix, mostly to make sure it doesnā€™t interfere with his megadoses of Adderall.

Yeah, Iā€™m waiting for him to offer to hold his hand over an open flame to proveā€¦ something.
If itā€™s gonna be stupid Watergate, someoneā€™s gotta do it, and I canā€™t see anyone who actually works with Drumpf being willing to put themselves out for him.
