House GOP lawmakers have picked Rep. Jim Jordan one of Trumps most loyal allies on Capitol Hill to be the next top Republican on the powerful House Judiciary Committee.
And retiring Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), another top Trump defender, has been selected to take over Jordans top spot on the House Oversight Committee a move that will put some of the presidents fiercest attack dogs in charge of two key congressional committees.
During a closed-door meeting on Thursday, the GOP Steering Committee overwhelmingly selected Jordan (R-Ohio) to be the ranking member on the panel, according to multiple people with knowledge of the internal vote. Jordan will replace Rep. Doug Collins, who recently announced a Georgia Senate bid and is required to step down from the top post under GOP conference rules.

(9,426 posts)wear a jacket, because he is so proud of his body!! Tiny little guy looks like a junior high smartass. The gop attracts repulsive people like flies to - well you know. The extra large orange "pile" in the WH draws other repulsive people to him as though they are hypnotized. Not a decent, law abiding one in the entire group. Why do people vote for these low life politicians? It seems that the less character and decency they have, the more the gop welcomes them.
