Jordan: "The whistleblower does not want testimony to be made available to the Democrats."

Jordan: “The whistleblower does not want [testimony] to be made available to the Democrats.”

Goldman: “The whistleblower doesn’t make committee rules.”




Rep. Goldman (D-NY) after Judiciary Chair Jordan blocks Dems seeing witness testimony at “Weaponization of the Federal Govt.” hearing:

“Where is the whistleblower exception in the rules?”

Jordan: “It’s the prerogative of the committee.”

Goldman: “It’s the rules of the House.”

His apprenticeship in Congress started out as impeachment counsel, I was thrilled when he won his election.

Why?

Because I knew he would do this relentlessly. I wish we had a whole bunch more like him. If we had five or ten of every stellar Rep. in our caucus, we'd be on our way to cleaning up some shit in this country.

And, having skipped both impeachment hearings, they're totally unaware that he was lead counsel for the first one... Dan Goldman is doing one hell of a job!

Is there on purpose, to keep jordan in check. Same with all the other incredible people we've seen in the House over the past few years. They all have courage and stamina, it takes a lot to endure the -45 menace and keep us afloat. I see that the ones who are unmoved by the bullshit are strategically seated on Committees where damage can be done. And don't forget fmr. Speaker Pelosi is still there. No doubt she is helping to advise on the finer points of the Constitution that very few understand.

not convinced there is a whistleblower. They will make up crap up and say the whistleblower gave it to them.
