Schiff On Jim Jordan Stonewalling 1/6 Probe: He Decided He Has ‘A Lot To Hide’

Rep. Adam Schiff on Rep. Jim Jordan refusing to cooperate with the Jan. 6 probe: “I assume that he reached the conclusion that if he came in and told the truth, it would put him at odds with the former president. And he just doesn’t have the courage to do that.”

No consequences right? Don’t be weak. Throw him in jail.

[MR.ROBOTVOLTRON]

My question is this. How is anyone directly involved with January 6 allowed to stall anything? Grab your nuts and start taking care of business.

Gym Jordan can play around all he wants. Justice is going to be catching up to him real soon. I hope he likes wearing orange jumpsuits.

[mitch]

Now we know why McCarthy chose Gym Bag Jordan for the 1/6 commission. Every criminal would like to be part of the jury.

[brianjennings]

Refer them for prosecution..
Nobody is above The Law!

[Leonaza]

So he's admitting he was complicit. Got it. He's going to find out he can't play this game.

[cryptothreevus]

Any member of Congress involved in any facet of the insurrection should be BARRED from serving public office, AND put to jail. PERIOD

[dafinaglgrrrr]

I think the greatest frustration at this point is the fact that the general population seems very impatient with the excessive amount of time it has taken to get where we are, and without a doubt there are several political affiliations with the entire planning and effecting of this failed attempt! There has to be a higher level of indictments and charges to these people in power who seem to view themselves as above the law! Let's not continue to read as much into what may be but keep it simple with what is. They have broken the law, they have violated our trust, they have violated their oath to office and must be held accountable!

[wildbill]

Gym has had a lot to hide for years, just, ask some of the molested youth where he "Looked the other way". He sure does a lot of, dodging the TRUTH, throughout his Cowardly existence. Once a Traitor always a Traitor.

[jimmythetout]

Never have so many " innocent folk " gone to such great lengths not to have to prove how innocent they are .

[jazziered]

I know what would happen to me if I was not a member of Congress and did not comply, the same should apply to him. Why does it not?

[scotsmanofnewengland]

America wants the truth and justice to save our democracy and to uphold our constitution.

[ArtHistoryNstuff]

Subpoena him, hold him in contempt, prosecute him. The guy has been disingenuous since he walked into Congress. This has to do with the very fabric of our nation - there is nothing this committee can be overreaching. This is not moving quick enough, it's just not.

[jeffdeluca]

Subpoena him. If you don't, you literally put him above the law. We're running out of time. Believe me you, of the show was on the other foot they would be using inherent contempt like yesterday! Democracy is on the line here.

[Utoobeedoo]

“…just doesn’t have the courage to do that”. That represents what is wrong with the majority of the GOP.

[dronetek]

The fact that sitting members of Congress are unable to directly be held accountable for their actions, is a perfect example of why candidates need to be held to a much higher standard prior to even being eligible to run for office. This is a position that currently has no term limits and potentially no way to hold anyone accountable if they don't leave office.

[lynnerose]

He’s literally an enemy combatant. Jail him now for contempt and never let him get out until he testifies. Expel him from Congress, bc he’s not representing anyone. He has no privilege.

[chrislaprise]

You must subpoena all of them that refuse! Do not fail.

[thatguymcfly]

Is anyone surprised that Jim Jordan is a conspirator, remember his stint coaching OSU wrestling and not reporting sexual abuse allegations committed by staff there.

[mikaaltieri]

Jim Jordan: He didn't have a lot to hide, until he did.
