What phone records may reveal: Gym Jordan "believed Trump controlled the crowd"

[Generic Other]

"I think we now know why Nancy Pelosi had to reject Jim Jordan," he said. "He is a fact witness and he's going to get a very complicated future ahead of him. Here is why: First, he claims that he can't remember how many times on Jan. 6th he called the president or what time of day, that's easily remedied by simply checking your phone log and checking that date. If he can't do it, the phone company will be more than happy to supply the select committee with that. That's going to happen eventually. Next, he's in a trick bag because if he concedes, as has been reported, that he actually called the president and said, 'stand this crowd down, they're inside, it is getting violent, you've got to stop them,' that implies, of course, that he believed Trump controlled the crowd and had the ability to stop or start the crowd."

Figliuzzi explained that is a disaster for Trump, and Jordan will be forced to answer the question one way or another.

1. They are still going to all ends to protect Donald Trump.

I will never understand their thinking?

4. Impossible To Confabulate

And I (and no doubt, many-many others) stand beside you kentuck; we simply cannot fathom the appeal of such a criminally-inclined, low-life person as tfg.

10. Confabulation is all its been from the get go, especially tfg.

It's all he knows how to do.

7. The Russians probably have dirt on all the Republicans.

They certainly hacked the GQP back in 2015. So they feed bits to Trump. That's why they all crawl to him on hands and knees. Also, you get one favor from the mob and you're in for life.

2. I think that's a given. I think the phone records with Gym and the others

will reveal much more than that---like some advance planning. I remember the two
war plan meetings the night before at DC hotels. That's why they are freaking out.

3. Nothing ever turns out to be a disaster for Trump, and I doubt this is any different, sadly (nt)

[bahboo]

6. much as I'd like to....I can't disagree...

would love to be proven wrong...

[oasis]

8. Right now I'll settle for a "disaster" for Jordan. He ain't Teflon. nt

[sheshe2]

5. Perhaps Gym told him to call it off.

Perhaps he said go for it. Everyone seems to have said the first. I think he said the later. Or perhaps, like the issues with his time as a boxing coach...he just turned his back and remained silent.

9. Or trump's message might cause some to stop. Just like his half-assed suggestion

to get vaccinated didn’t impact many.

Where Jordan is caught is that if he admits asking trump to call the rubes off, trump will put a politician hit on him and Jordan’s trumpster constituents will punish him at polls. Tough luck, Gym.

11. The records are just raw data.

They won’t show what was said. Just that they talked. they can and will still lie about what was actually said.

[Dan]

12. To lie, implies coordination between the parties...

Trump throws everyone under the bus to save his ass..... good bye Kevin, good bye Jim.

[scarytomcat]

13. Does the fact that they left after he told them to matter nt

[malaise]

14. Good
