I'll watch the public hearings if there is wrestling. I can't think of any other reason for Jordan to be on the committee.

a$$ on live TV.

Luckily the witnesses he plans to attack are tactful, career diplomats who will know how to deal with his grandstanding.

Couldn't they find a spoiled 8-year-old to throw self-righteous tantrums whenever he doesn't get whatever he wants?

Given that Schiff is the chairman and control the process, I don't see how jordan could accomplish that..

and I suspect even Gym knows that, but I'll bet a dollar to donuts he tries to demand that Schiff answer questions under oath in the public hearings. When Schiff slaps him down, Gym will run to the nearest camera during a break and accuse him of engineering a witch hunt, hiding his role in the Ukraine affair, and just general mopery and dopery of the spaceways. Fox will run it on an endless loop for the magats.

I think that Dems should not accept this putrid amphibian turds appointment.

I mean hell, would you want him in the men's shower with you?
