Jim Jordan: WORST Possible Choice for Speaker

 

 

During his 16 years in congress, Jordan has done NOTHING to improve the lives of Americans. He voted against 9/11 health care funding for first responders. He’s wasted millions in tax payer money on endless, baseless, partisan investigations & hearings.

 

 

Jordan being elected Speaker may cause a Government Shut Down because he’s part of the “Freedom Caucus” which is determined to cut spending on programs which benefit regular Americans and the poor (while giving tax breaks to the Rich). A large segment of the population depends on these programs and will not forget (when voting) who’s responsible for attempts to de-fund them, and who’s responsible for a Government Shut Down.

Jordan repeated Trump’s “Big Lie” about the 2020 election being “Rigged”, “Stolen” and “Trump Won” despite over 50 lawsuits proving these claims to be baseless. He proved to be an Anti-Democratic Insurrectionist who actively participated in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and thwart the will of the American people. In doing so, he violated his oath of office.

Jordan proved he’s LAWLESS by attempting to protect Trump from being prosecuted and held accountable for his crimes in Georgia and New York by sending letters to Prosecutors demanding they answer to him, when he has no legal authority to intervene or get involved in state prosecutions. His letters could be interpreted as attempts to “Obstruct Justice”.

 

When Trump was President, Jim Jordan and Republicans increased the debt by 8 Trillion giving Tax Breaks to the Rich while engaging in reckless, irresponsible spending. Now, they want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and middle class.

Rep. Jordan ‘stood against everything that would move the Congress’ forward, ‘not about governing’

Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan’s bid to be Speaker of the House lands in the eye of the public as his momentum started to pick up on Monday night. Andrea Mitchell is joined by Michael Steele, Brendan Buck and former Republican Congressman Fred Upton to discuss Jordan’s path to victory and the political implications of a far-right Republican Speaker. “Can we just be honest? Jim Jordan has stood against everything that would move the Congress towards work,” Steele says. On Republicans who removed McCarthy as Speaker, Steele says, “This is not about governing. This is about positioning. And this is about putting the House in a position to square up against the administration.”

Jim Jordan proves he’s LAWLESS by attempting to interfere in Trump being Prosecuted and held accountable for his CRIMES in Georgia

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan instructing him to stop abusing his authority and violating the Constitution by interfering in her RICO prosecution of Donald Trump and his co-conspirators.

First, Jordan defies a congressional subpoena demanding information and evidence about Donald Trump’s democracy-busting crimes on and around January 6. After refusing to provide – in other words, hiding from the J6 committee and the American people – evidence that could have incriminated Donald Trump, he became even more emboldened in his determination to help Trump evade accountability for his crimes, so he began interfering in state prosecutions.

This kind of escalating, democracy-damaging evidence is exactly what we should expect if the Department of Justice continues to refuse to hold insurrectionists in Congress accountable for their conduct.

 

Rep. Jordan demands information from DA Fani Willis on Trump probe

“Jim Jordan proves he’s LAWLESS by attempting to interfere in Trump being Prosecuted and held accountable for his CRIMES in New York”

“In his capacity as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Republican Representative Jim Jordan wrote a letter to New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg demanding Bragg testify about his criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump, in what was a transparent attempt by Jordan to interfere with the New York investigation of Trump’s crimes”.

 

Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

 

 

Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” and “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.” This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave.

Specifically, Trump indicates there will be “death and destruction” if Bragg indicts hims. Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture., who

This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: “a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . ”

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.
 

 

Opinion: Jim Jordan should never be House speaker. Here’s why

If Republicans choose Ohio Rep. Jordan to be speaker of the House, the person second in line for the White House would be a guy who actively sought to overturn a free and fair election.

Per the above article;  Here’s the key difference between Trump’s “My Kevin” McCarthy played along as the defeated president spun up his MAGA militia with false claims of Democrats’ election steal and Jordan who plotted along with the insurrectionist in chief.

Jordan’s name appears 44 times in the final report of the House committee that investigated the tragedy of Jan. 6, 2021, and the conspiring that led up to it. The report documents his White House meetings and repeated calls with Trump, including during the Capitol attack, and his contacts before and after with Trump’s lackeys. The committee recommended that the Justice Department investigate Jordan, along with McCarthy and several other House Republicans, and that the House Ethics Committee consider sanctioning him for ignoring its subpoenas.

You read that right: The man who wants to lead the House refused to voluntarily tell one of its committees what he knew about its desecration, then scorned a subpoena and trumpeted his defiance in a fundraising campaign.

Jordan’s effrontery is pretty rich. Now, as chair of the House Judiciary Committee and its anti-Biden “weaponization of government” subcommittee, he’s been only too happy to subpoena people, including Biden Cabinet chiefs and administration officials.

But what could be ahead is more egregious: If Republicans choose Jordan over the other speaker candidate, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the person second in line to the presidency would be a guy who actively sought to overturn a presidential election that even Trump administration officials deemed “the most secure in American history.”

Two days after the 2020 election, Jordan starred at a “Stop the Steal” rally at the Capitol in Pennsylvania, one of the pro-Biden states central to coup plotters’ scheming. On TV, he repeatedly claimed that the election was stolen. He was in cahoots with Trump officials about goading then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject some Biden electoral votes when Pence presided over the certification of the election in Congress on Jan. 6. Jordan attended a pivotal White House planning meeting on Dec. 21, and that month Trump cited the “fighter” Jordan’s support in haranguing Justice Department leaders to back the false voting fraud allegations.

There’s more: On Jan. 2, 2021, Jordan led — led! — a conference call with Trump and a few other Republicans to strategize about the certification vote as well as a social media effort to mobilize a simultaneous MAGA “march to the Capitol.” Trump and Jordan then spoke privately for 18 minutes.

In the hours after the insurrection, with several people dead and scores of police injured, Jordan continued to coordinate with Trump and Co. to upend the election certification. And after Jan. 6, he spoke with Trump advisors about pardons for implicated Republicans.
