Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) doesn’t imagine in utilizing his energy to move laws. Jordan is constantly one of many least productive legislators within the Home. The gas that runs Jordan’s right-wing political star is investigating Democrats and doing clean-up for Trump.
With Republicans answerable for all the federal authorities, Jordan appeared to be out of targets to go after from his perch as chair of the Home Judiciary Committee, which is one motive why he’s going to analyze 1/6 and Jack Smith, and by examine I imply, he’ll push debunked conspiracy theories.
CNN’s Dana Bash requested Jordon, “ You and I spoke in November. I requested you for those who would name Jack Smith to testify. You stated that you simply hadn’t determined, but it surely was on the desk now. His report has been launched. He has stepped down. Will you name him to testify?”
Jordan answered:
We’re nonetheless all that. One of many issues we’re going to examine into is certainly one of his attorneys.
I imply, this is among the many points I believe we’d like, we’d like, uh, some solutions to. However Jay Bratt, one of many guys who labored for him, went to a lawyer who was, who was representing one of many defendants within the case, representing Walt Nauta, stated to that lawyer, We did not know you have been a Trump man. We thought you have been on this choose place.
You may’t do these sort of issues. So we will examine that. We will have a look at quite a few issues Jack Smith did not embody in his report.
Like one thing that is occurred since I used to be right here in November. The 26 confidential human sources who have been there on January 6, 2021. 17 inside restricted area, 4 contained in the Capitol.
Two have been tasked to be there by the FBI…I believe there are many solutions, numerous questions that individuals, the American individuals need solutions to.

This all needs to be music to the ears of Democrats as a result of they’ve Rep. Jamie Raskin as the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. The Democrats on the committee will use any listening to that’s held on Jack Smith as a platform to remind the American individuals about Trump’s function within the 1/6 assault. If Jordan invitations Smith to testify, will probably be a catastrophe for Trump.
Jim Jordan has spent the final 4 years attempting to whitewash the historical past of the 1/6 assault, but when he investigates Jack Smith, he’ll give Democrats one other probability to etch the actual story of Trump’s rebel into stone.
