https://crooksandliars.com/2021/12/Jordan-hates-investigations-suddenlySuddenly, Jim Jordan Hates Congressional Investigations
After Investigating Hillary Clinton for years, Jordan is freaking out that he is in the cross-hairs from a legitimate investigation.
By John Amato December 20, 2021
Representative Jim Jordan, who conducted faux investigations into Hillary Clinton (Benghazi) for years, is now claiming "the purpose of Congress is not to be a law enforcement entity."
I kid you not.
His hypocrisy is stunning, but unsurprising.
Lies, conspiracies, and deceptions are what Republicans are made of.
Jordan is under suspicion for sending seditious messages to Mark Meadows during the January 6 insurrection. He also called for Vice President Mike Pence to discard valid electoral votes.
He went on Fox, of course, and fumed at Adam Schiff to Dan 'Bongo' Bongino.
Jordan, with no hint of irony, replied to Bongo's anti-Jan 6 Commission rant, "This is nothing new for the Left but it's scary because it's the weaponization of government against their political enemies."
Jordan continued, "There's no real legitimate purpose and oversight involved with this committee but going after your enemies and ultimately going after Donald Trump."
But that's not all.
"Remember, the underlying issue here is trying to put a good man, Mark Meadows in prison," Jordan said.
Hillary used a private server! Benghazi required eight inquiries!
Republicans tried to assist an attempted coup d'etat by Traitor Trump.
Republican members in Congress (like Jim Jordan) and paid right-wing activists conspired to overthrow a free and fair election.
Republicans spit in the face of the Constitution and US Democracy as a whole to keep Trump in office.
I can still hear the "lock her up chants" from Republicans and Trump to this day.
We all know the first chance Kevin McCarthy gets in a leadership position, he will investigate Dr. Fauci and try and put him in prison.
How do we know this? McCarthy has SAID SO. Axios:
The plans, obtained exclusively by Axios, show House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy would make muscular use of majority powers for the last two years of President Biden's term if, as expected, the GOP wins the majority in next year's midterms.
McCarthy plans to send a spate of "preservation notices" to departments throughout Biden's Cabinet, ordering them to retain documents that might be needed for future GOP oversight hearings.
Between the lines: Republicans want to deflect attention from the 1/6 commission, a real-time probe of real violence, death and looting in the Capitol.
Give Republicans the majority in 2022 and it will be two solid years of Hunter Biden's laptop Solyndra Benghazi baby parts pizzagate birther tan suit Christmas card lists and the tarmac.

I just went and watched the video, and he and Bongino (interviewer of Jordan here) seem really het up about the issue. But, I noticed something on the video that I am gonna be watching for in the days to come.
Both men spent the short video clip ranting and shouting about the committee and individual committee members for politicizing or unfairly investigating, or even things that committee members have done in the past.
But they NEVER said one word about the issue that the committee is investigating. This committee is investigating a brutal attack on the US halls of Congress (which Jordan, at least experienced first hand) and they cant even mention the reason for the investigation? Cmon, man
nothing?
Im gonna watch and see if any of them ever mention the reason for the committees formation.

(6,265 posts)with the proper application of the stick and carrot approach, our country can get through this threat to our democracy with minimal loss of life and property. The stick this time IF trump's fascist brownshirts try again to overthrow our government and the carrot where applicable. Mainly into the mouths of fascist treasonous Republicans to stop the lies and open deceit. I think we will see some pushback against these criminals, hopefully very soon.

(10,072 posts)Benghazi hearings with many in public believing she did something wrong and upended her presidential bid. They are terrified that the same thing is going to happen to them, with the truth coming out in public hearings. They got nothing from Hillary but just the appearance of public hearings, just imagine what could happen with actual evidence being presented in public hearings.

(6,254 posts)Ken Longone set him up. Spitzer was a flawed man and husband but Wall Street feared him because he was as smart as them. We need tough smart people like this as Dems. Want to sent the right off the cliff? Hillary as AG. Fun to dream about. I used to live Anthony Weiners ripping Rs a new a-hole, shame he was a sex addict. Who are the real tough people on the Democratic side? Klobuchar, Warren, Schiff, Raskin
.. I want a hungry meat-eater as AG.

(4,019 posts)It does not get any clearer than this that they are immensely afraid Meadows will be exposed and criminally implicated and that in the process he will be forced to implicate the whole lot of them.
