Republican Rep. Jim Jordan excoriated a top Justice Department official on Tuesday for spurning attempts by then-President Donald Trump’s chief of staff to get officials to investigate several election fraud claims as his presidency was coming to a close.

“That is a problem,” Jordan said. “When the chief of staff to the president of the United States asks someone in the executive branch to do something, and they basically give him the finger, I think that’s the problem we should be looking into.”

Jordan (R-Ohio) also accused former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen of insubordination and defended Meadows’ actions.

Jordan expressed that he was particularly perturbed by one message in which Rosen told a deputy he would blow off Meadows after the chief of staff urged him to have Civil Division chief Jeffrey Clark explore “allegations of signature match anomalies” in Fulton County, Ga.

1. Is Meadows the one that claimed a schemer in Italy was flipping votes to Biden remotely?

2. I agree that DOJ needs to look into this, but not for the same reason Gym Jordan says.

Meadows was attempting to politicize the DOJ to support "The Big Lie".
Rosen wasn't having any of it.

3. They Shouldn't Have Given Him The Finger, Ma'am

They should have given him the whole fist and forearm....

4. Touchē.

6. Amen, and it's not too late

5. Why don't you go chasing Meadows' wild geese, Jim?

It's not like you have anything better to do, and if your district gets un-gerrymandered, you'll soon be looking for work anyway.

7. Gym Jordan can't help making an ass of himself

It's what he does.

8. Jim Jordan never passed a bill and never passed the bar exam.
