Jan. 6 committee seeks interview with GOP Rep. Jim Jordan

Might as well trash that precedent as well, huh?
Hillary testified in x8 Benghazi hearings, I think Gym Jordan can handle one, don't you? I mean, the guy has information about the 1/6 riots behind the scenes attempts at overturning the election. Shouldn't he welcome the opportunity to tell his constituents what he's been up to? If he has nothing to hide, why hide?
 
Yup. You guys are treating this like a criminal proceeding and you need to "get" people. It's why the rest of us are mocking it as a partisan circus.
Criminal acts deserves the appropriate attention. One would think that anyone loyal to our country and believes in Democracy wouldn't hide what they may know about the assault against our Capitol on 1/6/21.

Hillary was SoS in the Executive and made several decisions that led directly to the death of a US Ambassador and several others. Then lied about it.

In your wildest wet dream, what testimony could this fellow congressman offer in a supposed oversight hearing that would remotely comparable?

Obviously, the fact that this is not how our system works evades you.
 
I agree. Having him testify would be a mistake. It would be a stupid victimhood speech by Gym, followed by a bunch of grandstanding from the committee. Just have each member read what they know about him into the public record with a picture of Gym's college wrestling picture behind them. Just do it without him. Don't give him another venue from which to spew his lies.
I personally am all for Gym spreading his lies under Oath. The committee prob'ly knows more about his actions than he suspects. Every person with posible knowledge of the events deserves to tell what they know or take the 5th. Taking the 5th is not an admission of guilt, although most folks may feel it is.
 
Jordan said he had nothing to hide....but he is so freaking stupid, he will get busted.

Um, gym was a participant in the exchanging of schemes to circumvent the Constitutional transfer of Presidential powers, an attempt at undermining democracy in the United States.
 
Jordan is not going to do anything willingly, and even if push comes to shove odds are he would not answer a single question.

Delay, delay, delay… wake up after the midterms.

(And no, for the record I am no supporter of Jordan or any of those Trumpist clowns.)

The only lies he'll tell will be before his probably hour-long victimhood speech. He'll then take the 5th and refuse to answer anything. Do it without him. Oh, and again - play his "interview" where he was trying to lie about speaking with trump over and over and over again. We need to see if these trumpist criminals have any shame.

Drumpf wasn't half way around the world, he was watching on his TeeVee. He's responsible for Ashli's untimely death, plus 4 others by Benghazi logic.
 
I agree with your comment except for that one little part underlined. He's already been lying back and forth about his conversations with DJT and 1/6 in public. He'd be under oath before the Committee and if he spurts out a lie or two in between his circus rants, that'll raise a few eyebrows (or at least it should) inside the DOJ. If the Committee pinpoints questioning about what he and DJT discussed in particular about 1/6 - expect the 5th to roll of his twisted tongue - indicating his guilt for what it's worth. imo
I guess I'm not being clear - when people testify before congress they often make a preliminary speech before the testimony begins. It's during that preliminary speech he'll spew his victimhood and lies, after which he'll take the 5th and I'm saying - don't give him the chance to do it.
 
Pelosi trashed 250 year of precedent when she refused to seat the members selected by the minority on her circus committee.

the circus committee would similarly trash the House's precedent of never issuing a subpoena for a fellow member for what is allegedly an oversight hearing.

Perhaps in your very twisted mind.
 
When is that asshole going to be held responsible for watching while young men got diddled?

It's long established law that a perp can't sit in judgement of his/her self. Prospective witnesses fall into that category. Also one who proclaims an unwillingness to hear the evidence before pronouncing a verdict, is not a suitable juror.
 
He'll plead the 5th and in so doing manage to incriminate himself because he's just that stupid.

McCarthy pulled all the republicans off the committee but Cheney lol

If it was a partisan circus then Cheney wouldn't be on it.

Jim Jordan was rejected because he was clearly involved as we now know. And Jim Banks is a loser who was sending fraudulent letters to agencies claiming he was a ranking member of the committee that he isn't even on.

Defending Jordan's refusal to cooperate with the 1/6 riots and attempts to overturn the election is pathetic. If Hillary could do it over and over and over gain, to Republican comittess that basically repeated themselves purely for political gain, Jordan can do it. What a coward!

Yup. They've convinced you this is a criminal proceeding. Breathtaking ignorance. Simply breathtaking.

Don't you find it even a little bit ironic that when Pelosi told Jordan to go **** himself you cheered. Now when he is telling Pelosi to go **** herself you act all outraged and call it pathetic?

Jordan was rejected because everyone knew he was involved and we now have proof. Jordan is declining to appear because he knows he was involved and could incriminate himself criminally.

Last I recall Democrats control the house. You act as though they don't, pathetic.
