Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is bowing out of the race for ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, his spokesperson told The Hill.

Jordan was encouraged by fellow conservatives to run for the high-profile committee role amid expectations that Democrats will be issuing a slew of investigations into President Trump and his administration next Congress.

“He won’t be seeking the position, it has been made clear to him that leadership is going to be selecting someone else,” Jordan’s spokesman Ian Fury told The Hill.

Questions of whether or not Jordan would officially throw his name and his energy in the contested race circled until the final day of when he would need to declare his interest in the role.

1. Code for,

ethics Committee Investigations to come next year and I wont be around will be back home in Ohio facing charges .

[PoorMonger]

3. Yup

Also, seems to say that the sort of offensive posture he would want to try out won’t be their strategy. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are afraid that he would try something nuts and obstruct justice or actively try to attack Hillary. Even the other pukes don’t want that level of crazy with a gavel.

7. Alumi Buzz is,

the Jocks are questioning the OSU Athletic people about Jordan. Fund raising issues and donors can wipe out a Sports program.

12. Sports AD's live and die by

Alumni donors. And programs die with this type of Publicity, Helicopter Parents will not allow their Johnny or Jane attend that school no matter how much graft is paid.

5. That's what I thought also. Can't have the GOP Co-Chair of the House Judiciary Committee,...

a committee that will be investigating President Dotard, under investigation for ignoring the sexual abuse of young men.

11. My thought was that this is why Grassley bailed...

2. Not surprising...all of the weasels that drug HRC through a grandstanding ordeal

now are mostly gone...and some of their leaders. Jordan's smirk was even worse than Gowdy's. Poor Trey...afraid his reputation is too tarnished for his dream as the life long job of judge he's seeking. Jason Chaffetz is gone. Ryan is leaving and many others.

The Republican Party is tarnished forever and will not recover in its same form.

6. I know you meant "drag"...They are all actors

Like Graham, they take drama acting lessons on their phone and practice at their houses, then they show at congressional meetings and perform their "angry bitch" act, they want the man-child to see them and hope he will promote them to something.

If anything is fake today, its not the news, it is most of the republicans in congress and senate. They are really bad actors.

8. maybe...dragged? Past tense. Yeah, those performances were classic. nt

[turbinetree]

4. Because just maybe, leaking classified information is against the law..................

and just maybe when Democrats take back the House 1/3/ 2019 that just maybe he should be sitting across the room testifying under oath........................as to why he and Nunes did it, and then bring that other assholes in like that Rohrabacher asshole............................

9. House of Cards...they are all beginning to fall into place.

10. Isn't senority a part of who is ranking member?
