Guess who is right behind Jim Jordan in this photo? A Trump enthusiast who attacked officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6.Samuel Lazar a Trump fanatic who is currently incarcerated and facing felony charges because he sprayed a line of police officers with mace at the Capitol on Jan. 6 standing behind Jim Jordan at a Stop the Steal rally.

(7,771 posts)...from TFG is like a subpoena.
They both mean there is some likelihood that a crime was committed.

(47,414 posts)I can't think of anyone who deserves a subpoena more than Jordan.

Jordan's a giant ass-wipe, but I think he's a little too clever to implicate himself.
The list above is occupied by actual NAZIs and blithering fucking IDIOTS who will convict themselves eventually.
PatSeg
(47,414 posts)It's just so hard to choose these days. So, so many. But Jordan is definitely on the list.
AZ8theist
(5,457 posts)I just don't think he makes the top 5.
He DEFINETLY needs a subpoena, he just has to get in line first.
sheshe2
(83,746 posts)There are more reasons he was denied a committee seat than him being a jackass a puppet and a carnival barker.
Subpoena, delivery on the way.
PatSeg
(47,414 posts)I love the idea of seeing him being questioned for a change. He can be such a dick in hearings.
calimary
(81,220 posts)And CERTAINLY in this hearing if hes subpoenad. Wouldnt surprise me if he got up and walked out if the heat started getting to him.
He can dish it out but I bet he cant take even a few minutes of it.
PatSeg
(47,414 posts)Yes, I can picture him walking out or pretty much doing anything that he thinks plays well for the camera. Politics for him is all about performance. He pretends he is a maverick, but he is really just a very bad actor. The whole jacketless trademark is so pathetic - "I don't play by no stinkin' rules". Is that really the best he could come up with?

CrispyQ
(36,459 posts)That pretty much sums up the lot of them. The cult, too. Petty, despicable (mostly) men, puffed up on themselves for no good reason. Kav being questioned at his confirmation vs Clinton at the Benghazi hearings is just a recent example.

(47,414 posts)He might want to consider wearing a jacket for a change, but can't do anything to interfere with his image.
and to think McCarthy thought he could name him for the Select Committee
DFW
(54,358 posts)It was probably the best way to protect Jordan from prosecution. Im sure Jordan thought so, too.

Probatim
(2,527 posts)Part of being on the most punchable list includes the sound they'd make upon impact. My guess is that Cruz, Carlson, and Paul would make the most pathetic (and satisfying) whimpers in the bunch and that's why they'd be on my top 5.
If that's over the top, I'll apologize in advance.
PatSeg
(47,414 posts)when I saw that photo. What a smug asshole.
Right up there with Ted Cruz!

AngryOldDem
(14,061 posts)Punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine that ranges from $100 to $100,000.
Of course, he could plead the 5th, I guess. Also not a good look for someone as pure as the driven snow as Our Gym.

High time to stop them from getting away with crimes.

I vaguely remember hearing something about Republicans and 'only the best people.'

(1,244 posts)there should be video evidence
Eyeball_Kid
(7,431 posts)IMO, Pelosi and the DOJ are holding those videos back because they will likely be primary pieces of evidence in coming prosecutions.
