Jim Jordan Crashes And Burns At Trump Impeachment Hearing

Jim Jordan Crashes And Burns At Trump Impeachment Hearing


Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was supposed to be Trump’s ringer at the impeachment hearing. Instead, he fell flat on his face.

Rep. Jordan hung his hat on the claim that there was no direct linkage between the people involved, Trump, and the withholding of Ukraine military aid.

Jordan tried to use a clarification from Gordon Sondland to discredit Bill Taylor, but what happened was that Taylor read the clarification and said, “And I think this clarification from ambassador Sondland was because he said he didn’t remember this in his first deposition. He wanted to clarify. Mr. Jordan, the way I read this, he remembers it the same way I do.”

Jordan could only sarcastically reply real clear, as his time expired.


Jordan is the person who was added to the committee because Republicans thought that Devin Nunes couldn’t cut it. They were correct about Nunes. He has been terrible, but Jordan has been even worse, Jordan sounds hysterical with his yelling of facts and attempts to badger witnesses.

Rep. Jordan is obviously at these hearings to get clips on Fox News that will make Trump feel good. Jordan is in over his head, and when he was promoted to the big stage, the Republican from Ohio crashed and burned.

questions.

No one (during the time I listened) clearly explained his false dichotomy - aid was restored without a public commitment to investigate Biden - means - Taylor was wrong about the condition being placed on the aid in the first place.

Republican dipshits mugging for the camera to please their toddler-brained leader on his favorite TV channel. The country is being led by a mental infant and too many of the others in the government have as their primary job to coddle, coo and otherwise soothe him. Disgraceful.

If Trump should look at the new Ukraine president to determine if he is as corrupt as the
former president, why is Jordan asking about why Obama didn't give the corrupt former president missiles? He can't have it both ways?

Did nothing but show his, the Republican Party, and trumps contempt for the truth, and the rule of law. They are claiming extortion, bribery, a cover up, conspiring to obstruct justice and more isn't"t serious enough for removal from office,, but any American doing any of those things would be held accountable by a lengthy prison sentence is not going to win over anyone to there side. They're failing badly, and they and trump are in a downward spiral they can't stop. Trump and republicans are claiming serious felony crimes from a president are acceptable, when it's them. This train wreck trump and the GOP are helping Putin undermine our government with massive corruption, and totally compromised by Putin from it. The longer trumps in office, the more damage he's doing more republicans will be voted out of office. Republicans are now backing a felon, and complicit with trumps crime spree.
