Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested the opportunity to testify publicly before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees in response to accusations of politically motivated prosecutions from House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. Smith’s legal team stated his willingness to address allegations surrounding his investigations into former President Trump, contingent on Justice Department guidance to avoid violating grand jury secrecy. This request comes as Jordan demanded a closed-door interview with Smith, claiming the special counsel aimed to silence Trump. Notably, Smith recently defended his team’s apolitical nature and commitment to public service in an interview with former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann.

Rep. Jim Jordan to be questioned under oath on Ohio State doctor sex abuse scandal is a situation that’s been a long time coming. It’s hard not to think that a lot of “I don’t recalls” and Fifth Amendment invocations are going to be part of the landscape. The very idea of an oath seems almost quaint, a relic of a time when concepts like duty and integrity actually carried weight. It feels like accountability is finally knocking on the door, which is a good thing.
The core of the issue, of course, is Jordan’s alleged knowledge of, and potentially his inaction regarding, the sexual abuse perpetrated by Dr.… Continue reading
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) defended President Trump’s policy decisions, citing Article Two, Section One of the Constitution, which vests executive power in the president. He argued that the president, elected by the people, should make decisions, not unelected bureaucrats or career experts. Jordan dismissed concerns raised by a federal judge who deemed some presidential actions excessive, characterizing this as a difference in philosophy between Republicans and Democrats concerning the role of executive power. This divergence highlights a fundamental disagreement over the balance of power between the executive and other branches of government.

Jim Jordan, a Republican Congressman who is known for his vocal support of former President Donald Trump, has said that the findings of an ethics investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz “shouldn’t go public.” This statement has sparked outrage among many, who see it as a clear attempt to cover up potential wrongdoing by Gaetz, who faces serious allegations of sexual misconduct and sex trafficking.
Jordan’s argument appears to hinge on the idea that releasing the findings would be unfair to Gaetz, who has not been charged with any crimes. However, many point out that the ethics investigation was conducted using taxpayer dollars and that the public has a right to know the results.… Continue reading
Rep. Jim Jordan, a key figure in the effort to overturn the 2020 election results, has acknowledged the 2024 election was free and fair, a stark contrast to his previous pronouncements. While he cited concerns about mail-in voting in 2020, particularly in Pennsylvania, he failed to address why these concerns were absent this year when his preferred candidate won. This shift in rhetoric raises questions about the legitimacy of his 2020 claims and the impact of his actions on the integrity of the election process. Despite Jordan’s assertions of widespread fraud in 2020, no evidence of such irregularities has ever surfaced.

I cannot believe the sheer audacity of Jim Jordan to issue a warning to parents about ‘illegal aliens’ hiding in schools. The fear-mongering and xenophobic rhetoric being spewed by him is not only harmful but completely unfounded. As a member of Congress, shouldn’t he be focusing on more pressing issues that actually affect the American people, rather than propagating baseless claims?
I mean, seriously, when was the last time an ‘illegal alien’ posed an actual threat to anyone in a school setting? It’s all just a ploy to stoke fear and rile up his conservative base. Why is it that these politicians are always looking for someone to blame and demonize, instead of actually working towards solutions to real problems?… Continue reading

As I watched the video of Jim Jordan being questioned about losing his star Biden witness, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of frustration, disbelief, and a tinge of anger. The way he dismisses the facts presented to him, clinging onto his own version of reality, showcases a concerning level of delusion and denial. It’s like watching someone stubbornly digging themselves into a hole, refusing to acknowledge the mounting evidence against them.
The discussion around Jim Jordan’s involvement in pushing Russian intelligence propaganda against our own government is not just a mere political squabble—it’s a serious issue that strikes at the heart of national security.… Continue reading
