Maybe we should have more committees investigating Benghazi and Hillary’s emails.

So tired of these a-holes.

I should think the Speaker could order attendance, backed perhaps by a majority of the House?

I've not looked into the matter, but it does not seem one for the courts. Congress runs itself without reference to the Judiciary.

Jim Jordan is an anti-democratic traitor.

My anger is deepening about these people. The more we go on the more this looks like America right before the Civil War. I don't think we can pull out of this unless the citizens of this nation stop voting in leaders like this.

Jim Jordan should already be in jail for his inaction at Wisconsin State or at least be a lot poorer for all the civil suits. But instead he continues to serve in Congress. He is one of the insurrectionists and should be expelled from Congress. These people are projected to regain the majority in Congress. Then this will all be disbanded and chaos and injustice will reign.

How can we survive when our citizens are stupid enough to continue to elect scum like this to office?

18. Jim Jordan accused of 'begging' former Ohio State wrestler not to support reports of sexual abuse

A former Ohio State wrestler accused Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) of repeatedly “crying” and “begging” him not to corroborate accounts of sexual abuse against the university’s wrestling team doctor that occurred when Jordan was a coach.

Adam DiSabato — the brother of Mike DiSabato, the whistleblower who exposed the abuse by Richard Strauss — testified Wednesday during a public hearing in the state legislature that when the story came out in July 2018, he received a phone call from a tearful Jordan.

“Jim Jordan called me crying, crying, groveling, on the Fourth of July, begging me to go against my brother, begging me, crying for half an hour,” Adam DiSabato said, according to video of his testimony. “That’s the kind of coverups going on here.”,,,,,

In the midst of the Trump impeachment proceedings in the House, which Jordan took an active and high-profile role in, a new lawsuit was filed in which one alleged victim of Strauss’s sexual misconduct said he had reported it to Jordan. Jordan has been named in one other lawsuit as having been told, but he is not named as a defendant in any of them.

whining that the same committee that he begged to be a part of, actually wants him to participate.
