Gym Jordan refuses to tell Jan. 6 panel about Trump calls after claiming he had "nothing to hide"

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said on Sunday that he is refusing to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, after previously claiming he had "nothing to hide."

Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., last month asked Jordan to provide information about his "multiple communications" with former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021. Jordan has admitted that he spoke with Trump that day, but said he didn't "recall the number of times." Jordan has also repeatedly said he was willing to provide information about the calls.

"If they call me, I got nothing to hide," Jordan said last July. He reiterated during a House Rules Committee hearing in October, "I've said all along, 'I have nothing to hide.'"

But in a letter to Thompson on Sunday, Jordan said he would not cooperate with the committee's request to discuss the calls, as well as other communications he had with Trump's allies in the "war room" at the Willard Hotel, or with Trump's legal team, White House staff, and "others involved in organizing or planning the actions and strategies for January 6th."

5. Perhaps inherent contempt would be a good choice

Unless he doesn't show up to work any more, it would be relatively easy for the Sergeant at Arms to collect him from wherever he is and escort him to the committee room. And if he stops showing up to work, there his primary and/or general election opponents would have a good case for why he should not be re-elected.

4. A Congressman who won't cooperate with Congress ain't worth much

Get another line of work.

6. If there is evidence that Jock Sniffer Jordan was involved, his resistance won't matter.

If the Jan 6th Committee wants to talk to someone like Jordan, they already know what he did, and what they will say/ask.
Jordan doesn't want to plead the fifth, because he knows that means "I'm guilty".
He's a coward hiding behind his lawyer.

7. Subpoena his ass on the House Floor. Arrest him if he rips it up.

Cuff him for all to see that NOT even a member of Congress is above the law. Anyone gets in the way, cuff them too. The US Marshals and SaA has the floor when performing th we ir lawful duties.
