Jim Jordan Busted For Multiple Calls With Trump On 1/6

Jim Jordan Busted For Multiple Calls With Trump On 1/6


Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been so evasive about his conversations with Trump because he had multiple calls with him on 1/6.

Politico reported:

We know that DONALD TRUMP and Rep. JIM JORDAN spoke once on the day of the Capitol riot, but the Ohio Republican has said he doesn’t remember when their conversation took place. We have some new details that could help clear up that timeframe — including confirmation of at least one more phone conversation between Jordan and the then-president during the siege.

After a group of lawmakers were evacuated from the House chamber to a safe room on Jan. 6, Jordan was joined by Rep. MATT GAETZ( R-Fla.) for a call during which they implored Trump to tell his supporters to stand down, per a source with knowledge of that call. The source declined to say how Trump responded to this request.


Jim Jordan Is Hiding 1/6 Facts To Protect Himself And Trump

Jim Jordan had claimed when asked by reporters that he doesn’t remember when he talked to the former president on January 6, but it is now clear that he had multiple conversations with Trump, including one that occurred after members of Congress were evacuated from the House chamber.

Jordan is covering up to protect Donald Trump and protect himself. He has refused to talk about his conversations with Trump on 1/6 as nobody is buying his sudden loss of memory related to the conversations that occurred on 1/6.

Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy both have information that would be damaging to Trump, and they are trying to bury it because it could doom Republicans in 2022 and 2024.

Nothing suspicious about general counsel for Rosneft and Gazprom being made FBI Director

Remember the dossier?

He and Kavanaugh were members of the right-wing Federalist Society.

He and Kavanaugh worked together in the G.W. Bush administration.

He led the Kavanaugh investigation, and ignored 4,500 tips to make Brett a SCOTUS justice.

Why is Christopher Wray still FBI director, @POTUS?

I stated this a couple of weeks ago, the President needs to fire Wray and get a director that will investigate the Trump administration. Kavanaugh and the Trump administration hid text messages where Kavanaugh told people not to cooperate with the investigation. I read that a couple of years ago after he was confirmed. We need to raise our voices and have the Democrats intervene and investigate these claims. Remember Wray is a Republican. Party over Country is their motto.

that Justice is willing to prosecute, probably not. Donnie isn't the first to realize he could shoot people and yet the proles would vote for him anyway. Same for Gym. Even without the gerrymandering, his district hasn't gone to the Dems since the 1930's.

but it will happen only if Democrats are able to get this completed in a timely manner.

Without S1 passing, the dirty trickery republicons have been working on will give them back the House, and probably the Senate. They will stop all investigations, destroy all evidence, declare themselves innocent and persecuted. And they will immediately begin investigating Pelosi, Schiff etc along with numerous impeachment attempts of Biden.

Because of Manchin, Sinema and the damn Senate. So the House has to get this done, it can't be allowed to drag out or republicons win.

The decision to put off dragging the guilty in front of the cameras for the nation and all the world to see on prime time during Impeachment 2 appears to me as a strategic blunder of epic proportions. Perhaps there’s something bigger and better ahead, although proving Trump and Co. guilty of treason would go a long way to putting them on the ash heap of history.

By asking the insurrectionists to “stand down”? Sounds like Jordan and Gates wrote this article. I think I’ll wait for the transcripts of their calls.

“Stand down” from what? I thought it was a peaceful tourist visit. “Stand down” is something said to soldiers. What did Jordan and Gaetz know prior to these “tourist’s”visit?

One takeaway from Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz calling and begging Trump to tell the rioters to stand down on Jan 6 is that they apparently believed Trump had full control over Antifa.

"Look, I definitely spoke to the president that day. I don't recall—I know it was more than once, I just don't recall the times," Jordan told Politico. The congressman said he was "sure" that at least one of the calls took place while he and other lawmakers were hunkered down in a safe room "because we were in that room forever."

The congressman did not tell the publication the specifics of what he discussed with Trump, but asserted that he had wanted the National Guard to get involved to address the riot.
