Now It's Getting Real: Jim Jordan May Be the Next Subpoened by the House Select Committee

There is a reason that Kevin McCarthy nominated Jim Jordan for the proposed bipartisan January 6th commission. There was a reason that Nancy Pelosi immediately rejected Jordan as a possible material witness.

There is a reason that during the January 6th riots, when Jim Jordan sought to “protect the ladies” (his words) in Congress and offered to help Liz Cheney, she told him to not dare touch her and that he wasn’t helping her because “YOU, fcking did this,” which we always believed to be an awfully personal statement in the moment because we doubt that was “you,” plural. She said “Jordan” did this (certainly with others, though there is no proof as of yet).

The reason is that in some way, somehow, perhaps by “appearance only,” (but likely much more), everyone in Congress knows that Jim Jordan had something to do with January 6th, even if it was just advanced knowledge.

The committee thinks Jordan knows something because many believe that the committee is about to subpoena Jordan – an extraordinary move. We don’t know how often Congress has sought to subpoena another member of Congress, it cannot happen often.

1. Lock him up!

[Ocelot II]

2. Well. This should be interesting.

[panader0]

3. I'm sure the committee will be able to remind Jordan

when his phone calls were made and to whom.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. Think maybe.......

he'll wear a jacket while being questioned - you know, to look "professional?"

Then again, things may be getting SO hot in his corner of the world that he'll just show up in short and a T-shirt..........

I hope they fry that soul-less piece of low-life scum.......

[TexasTowelie]

7. I wouldn't put it past Jordan to show up in a wife-beater undershirt.

He probably has grotesquely hairy arms too.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. Undershirt?

I'll bet to him that's 'formal' wear!

[Joinfortmill]

31. 👍

[SoCalDavidS]

5. We're Not Going To Get Any Of These Criminals To Testify

Above The Fucking Law they all are.

11. It will take a minimum of 4 months

to process Bannon's case and he was low hanging fruit, just a private citizen.

I get tired of saying this but DOJ is going to have to take the lead because time is of the essence. Barr appointed John Durham to investigate the Russia/Trump investigation and according to what Garland said yesterday Durham was just given money to continue his investigation. When Garland said that I nearly puked. WTF can't Garland appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the insurrection? Barr even put in safeguards to protect Durham from being removed.

If I hear one more person push for patience I'm going to get my doctor to prescribe me some Xanax.

22. I don't get it, I'm an attorney in NJ and when I need an emergent or expedited hearing I can usually

get one pretty fast. Why does it take months to enforce a subpoena? In State court a judge can issue a court order you file a motion to compel the witness to appear on a certain day, time and place and if they don’t appear a self-executing order will direct the sheriff to go out and arrest the witness to face a contempt hearing.

[The Wizard]

30. Order to appear

and show cause. If ignored the Sheriff takes the witness into custody, not all that complicated.

[Pepsidog]

32. Exactly. Have a litigant in court in a matter of days.

[Roy Rolling]

35. Hours

The case may drag on in the court system, but arresting Bannon and taking him into custody can happen now. Let him watch the proceedings from inside a jail cell.

Or he can obey the subpoena like the email lady did.

She had nothing to hide.

[Bettie]

6. That headline just made me smile

although, I bet he'll just monologue in 'scream' for however long they allow him to.

[Deep State Witch]

8. No Wonder

He was up there throwing all kinds of bullpuckey at the committee. Him and Florida Not-Lawyer Gaetz are complicit.

[dweller]

9. Enough ...

“ We don’t know how often Congress has sought to subpoena another member of Congress, it cannot happen often Enough”


fixed it …


✌🏻

[monkeyman1]

12. wonder how many other congress critter's thinking when their turn is ?

[lagomorph777]

17. Yup. Boebert, Perjury Traitor GanGreene, Hawley, Brooks, etc...

[monkeyman1]

19. I'm keeping a running list & seem's like ya' are too !

might come in handy for '22 & 24 ? lot of people have short memories !

[lagomorph777]

24. By the time any of these thugs actually talks, we'll be speaking Russian.

[tishaLA]

21. I'd like Marge Green's subpoena to be signed by

Liz Cheney

[lagomorph777]

13. Gym Jerkin's about to get towel-whipped.

[Traildogbob]

14. Jordon, Gaetz and M Trailer Queen

All three made B-Lines to Bannon pod cast after each hearing to slam the committee as illegal and a witch hunt. Those are some of the ring leaders in the planning and execution. Watch his guest list coming, Gohmert, Bang Bang Barbie, Graham, the bobble head shit stain that all his siblings hate, and the fist pumping rah rah asshole. FBI needs to focus on each of Bannon guests. It is a Roster of the traitors that worked with the insurrectionist. All these assholes need to be locked up, with Mike Flynn and all the GQO terrorists in GITMO and put the better behaved Iraq prisoners as guards.

[spanone]

15. He'll fight it and lose.

[Hekate]

16. Ohhh myyyyy

[bucolic_frolic]

18. How did she know?

I gotta say, Liz Cheney impresses me more than a little.

[monkeyman1]

20. her & Adam got more ethics than the whole republican taliban !!

[Hassler]

25. Idiot Gym gave himself away at the committee meeting when he

Blurted out of nowhere that he has nothing to do with the seditious insurrection.

[Skittles]

26. haha it would be fun to see that fucker stuttering under oath

BRING IT ON

[ecstatic]

27. Do they have to use the slow drip approach?

Subpoena every person of interest at once. Otherwise some people will escape justice completely due to the calendar.

[orleans]

33. the last line here

The Case for Subpoenaing Members of Congress to Testify on the January 6 Insurrection
Democrats have strong constitutional arguments on their side.
*snip*
If committee subpoenas are issued and ignored, Thompson will have three potential means of enforcement. First, Congress can vote to ask the Justice Department to criminally prosecute someone for being in contempt of Congress. Second, it can rely on its inherent authority to have the sergeant-at-arms for the House or Senate detain, bring to the floor, and ultimately imprison the violator. Or third, it can file a civil action in federal court, secure an order directing compliance, and ask the court to issue a contempt-of-court citation if the order is violated. Presumably, reluctant GOP members in receipt of subpoenas from the select committee would welcome a court battle, as litigation would delay the committee’s work for months and any ruling would likely be appealed to the Supreme Court.

The legal argument against a subpoena, such as it were, rests on the Constitution’s speech-or-debate clause, which states that “for any Speech or Debate in either House,” members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other Place” (emphasis added). Arguably, the plain text suggests that inquiries in Congress itself—as distinct from the criminal-justice system, which is controlled by the executive branch, or a civil lawsuit brought before the judicial branch—are fair game. But no court has faced this precise issue to date.

34. When Jordan takes the Fifth, two things will happen

1.) His guilt will be established, although he will not be charged with his crime.

And

2.) The voters of his district will re-elect him for his "courage."

[jaxexpat]

36. They'll have to bring out the squirrel cage to keep his testimony topical.

He, like so many of his partners in crime, fervently believes in his powers of persuasion, untouchability and all-round "charm".

[twodogsbarking]

37. I see intermittent showers in his future.

Followed by showers.

[TeamProg]

38. A lot of his constituents think 1/6 was a GOOD thing! So why would he NOT TESTIFY

under oath?


Come on Gym!


Speak up! Impress your base!

[kacekwl]

39. Why are the

words may, could, might always used with these obvious criminals ?
