Jim Jordan reveals just how nutty Republicans have become

[dherd]

OPINION BY JHENNIFER RUBIN GRANDE DAME OF REPUBLICONS

Jordan is the perfect incarnation of the GOP in 2018 — unhinged, bullying, unbound by facts and unconcerned with the norms of democratic government. A subsequent, unenforceable House resolution demanding Rosenstein comply with a request for documents concerning the investigation was the perfect coda to a kangaroo-court hearing.

Democratic House candidates might consider running the Jordan video in their ads. It is a vivid display of a party that refuses to fulfill its constitutional functions and aids and abets the president’s attacks on the rule of law. Every Republican elected will vote for his or her speaker (or minority leader), thereby giving consent to put committee gavels in the hands of irresponsible and irrational puppets of the White House. If voters want to check the kind of embarrassing and destructive conduct we saw today and restrain an increasingly out of control president, they’d best not reward House Republicans by preserving their majority.

President Trump is not the only unhinged Republican who spins conspiracy theories and denigrates the rule of law. Watching Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) rudely (civility police, where are you?) and hysterically attack Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, accusing him without proof of threatening staffers — and insisting that Congress, an appendage of Trump at this point, get classified documents from an ongoing investigation — recalls the moment when the Army’s chief counsel, Joseph Welch, responded to the vicious smear launched by Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.) at a witness during the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings:

no worse than any other of his daily clown shows. about what you'd expect from a mail

You would think Mr. Rosenstein is a Democrat appointee watching that video.

Here's the main thing: to believe Jim Jordan is not full of shit you have to believe Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is out to get Trump. And we know that's not the truth. If anything Sessions should support protecting Trump, and not just because of party loyalty or personal loyalty, but because he is hip deep in Trump's problems.

I was really waiting for Mr. Rosenstein to say something to the effect of, "You dumb SOB, do you not realize Donald Trump himself appointed my Republican ass to this office?"

Do I think Sessions, Rosenstein, and the majority of Republicans in Congress would actually cover for Trump if he really is in deep shit? Hell no. No one with a brain is going down with the ship and the captain. I'm not sure if Mr. Jordan meets that requirement.

Rosenstein did say, on the record (and it was funny as hell), “I’m not a Democrat.” He made Jordan look like a total dumbass.

Sessions and Rosenstein won’t cover for trump but you bet your ass there are a bunch of Republicans in Congress who would not only cover for trump but would obstruct justice for him. They are already interfering with the investigation. We are seeing it right before our eyes. Jordan, Nunez and Meadows are doing it as we speak. They are attempting to make the DOJ look like they are hiding something all the while they want the info to share it with trump to help his defense. Hell, even Ray Charles can see it.

Some will, and yes they are doing it now. The majority will not, they like their jobs.

Substitute would for are. The entire republicon is the opposite of everything they claim to be. I figured that out when Gingrich became speaker

Jordan is a moron. A moron who apparently has no idea how the legal system actually operates, despite being a lawyer. His attempted assault on Rosenstein was just awful. Repubs dropped the ball bigtime, imho. There are points to hammer the investigation, such as the length amd expense, the lack of collusion charges, etc. Stick to legit points and for the love of God, let someone competent step up and do the questioning - not some batsh*t crazy dude from Ohio.

How can a Republican Congressman...hell, how can you...argue with a straight face that a Republican led investigation into a Republican has gone on too long/cost to much? Because I'm sure if they could figure out how to investigate a Clinton for another 10 years they would start hearings tomorrow.

And while Jordan is a total moron, he's right on track for the Trump base. Conspiracies, fake news, that's the bullshit they eat up.

Conspiracies? Coming from Dr. Conspiracy himself, that is funny.

That was one of the funniest aspects of the testimony; Gowdy whining about how long it is taking when he spent 2 1/2 years and $7 million on Benghazi. These f’uckers think the public are idiots (well some of them are).

If not for the Benghazi investigation we wouldn't have learned about Hillary's server. If not for hillary's server we wouldn't know about Anthony Weiner's pedophiliadic tendencies. Crime upon crime upon crime. You don't need a high LSAT score to understand this.

Enjoying conspiracies as fiction and actually believing them are two different things.

I think you rescue dogs to raise the average IQ of your residence.

LOL!

Wiener was already being investigated prior to the Benghazi investigation.

We also already knew about the private server.

This is weird. And why would someone with an office hide in the john? I can hide in my office. I'm browsing the internet right now in my office. This only makes sense for someone like a retail worker...like you?

He have an office. Wow!

I guess adding 'Pullman Moderator' to your resume really DID pay dividends.

By the way, you and your mother have fun on your vacation. Not that she will be paying for anything.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Words of a simpleton

Get back to folding shirts, making coffee, or whatever it is you do to afford your Alpo.

Speaking of mothers and vacations, I will say hello to yours next time I am in Nevada. Glad to see her boss did well in the election.

Wrong. Wiener was not being investigated prior to. He was charged in May 2017 for a crime in or about 2016.

False. The existence of Mrs. Clinton’s personal email account was discovered by a House committee investigating the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi as it sought correspondence between Mrs. Clinton and her aides about the attack.

In 2013, Weiner sought to revive his political career by running for mayor of New York. Two months after he announced his candidacy, screenshots surfaced of sexual conversations that Weiner had with a woman the previous year.

Moron!

As early as 2009, officials with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) expressed concerns over possible violations of normal federal government record-keeping procedures at the State Department under then-Secretary Clinton.

In December 2012, near the end of Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, a nonprofit group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a FOIA request seeking records about her email. CREW received a response in May 2013.

October 4, 2012
The State Department announced an Accountability Review Board "to examine the facts and circumstances of the attacks.”

Moron!
