Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio indicated he doesn't plan to cooperate with a request to meet to meet with the House select committee investigating January 6, according to a defiant letter he sent to committee Chair Bennie Thompson on Sunday.

While Jordan -- a top congressional ally of former President Donald Trump -- did not explicitly say he will not cooperate with the committee, his four-page letter outlines his grievances with the panel and its request. The Ohio Republican wrote that he has "no relevant information that would assist the Select Committee in advancing any legitimate legislative purpose."

1. When you stop cooperating with your employer, you get FIRED!

This "legislative purpose" canard is straight from TrumpSpeak, trying to diminish the role, power, and duty of Congress.

Don't buy what these nazis are selling!

3. Except that there is a law suit

right now before the Supreme Court that claims the select committee is illegal, overstepping its bounds. I believe this is why Garland is holding back the Mark Meadows indictment, he is waiting for the SC decision so as to not seem partisan, then again I could be wrong.

Day 26 of the Meadows referral.

8. Yes, but same Kraken level legal quicksand used in the election fraud scam lawsuits.

Delaying the inevitable.

6. He is scared because he knows how guilty he is of the crimes on Jan 6, 2021

Just like he was scared to out the coach at the university where he worked, he is very scared because he knows how guilty he is.

He is a coward, nothing else. You can spot a coward when all he/she does is yell, and jordan is a clear example.

By Vincent Bugliosi standards, jordan, meadows, trump et al are all guilty of murder, they may have not killed the people themselves but they are guilty because they planned it and knew violence could/would bring loss of lives.

2. Throw the Republican traitors out of Congress

Investigate them. Try them. Convict them. Then lock the Republican traitors up.

4. Such DEFIANCE from someone claiming INNOCENCE.

Shows how GUILTY Gym is. He spilled the beans on FOX that he had phone calls to TDFP before snd during the insurrection. THAT is what the Jan.6th Committee wants to discuss with him.

Serve him a subpoena on the House floor. If he rips it up, cuff him. US Marshals snd the Sargeant of Arms are not to be defied.

5. He didn't pass his Bar exam

so little wonder he does not comprehend the law of this land. So exactly what purpose does he serve in Congress, besides support for someone who understands law as little as he does?

7. He is not a lawyer?

[Javaman]

15. no but he likes to play one on TV LOL nt

9. Really? What's he got to hide?

[JohnnyRingo]

10. He probably doesn't have anything to wear.

He'd have to go buy a suit jacket.

11. Gym will deny that he saw anything, just like he did when he turned a blind eye to ongoing

sexual abuse. Same *hit different day for Gymmy!

12. Why would he cooperate?

[turbinetree]

13. Just send him a orange jumpsuit and ask if this is your size traitor....

[dchill]

14. Not a lawmaker - a lawbreaker.

16. If, as some have said, the committee has evidence which they would like to ask him about

Jordan hasn't got a leg to stand on, and he probably knows it. I am sure he has no idea what information the committee has. I am equally sure he doesn't want to find out and so is delaying by whatever means he can. Jordan is not noted for playing by the rules of law or of Congress.

If it were up to me he'd be standing in the dock in chains right now. No options, no polite requests to attend. A direct arrest under warrant by federal marshals. But then again I no longer have patience to apply to this process. I have no doubts about the players, their actions and their motivations. My only reservation at this point is over what sufficient punishments may be applied and by whom.

IMO the entire GOP Senate and Congress is responsible in some degree. They refused to vote for impeachment. They refused to vote to accept the results of the election. Those who did so are guilty of a knowing treason against our nation.

17. Least surprising news of the week. (nt)

[librechik]

18. strip this traitor of his assignments. Pronto.

[Bayard]

19. His grievances with the panel

Is that they wouldn't let him on it so he could sabotage proceedings. He's running scared because he's guilty as hell.
