Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was in fine form at the top of Michael Cohen’s Wednesday hearing, claiming that a vast left-wing network had conspired to ensure that Donald Trump’s former fixer could testify before the House Oversight Committee about the President’s misdeeds.

Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis orchestrated the whole affair, according to Jordan, the ranking Republican on the committee, who called Davis “the Clintons’ best friend, loyalist, operative.”

Other schemers bent on bringing down the President, in Jordan’s telling, included billionaire donor Tom Steyer, who has advocated for Trump’s impeachment, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Fusion GPS and Democrats at large.

From Jordan’s perspective, the Cohen hearing was Democrats last-ditch effort to take down Trump after the FBI’s 2016 probe of the campaign failed to stop him from becoming president.

“They just want to use you, Mr. Cohen,” Jordan said in his opening statement. “You’re their patsy today. They’ve got to find somebody somewhere to say something so they can try to remove the president from office. Because Tom Steyer told them to. Tom Steyer organized a town hall in Manhattan.”
