Jim Jordan says facts are on Trump's side after week of public impeachment hearings
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan offers his takeaways from the fifth day of public impeachment testimony on 'Special Report.'
Rep. Jim Jordan has apparently struck a nerve in his home state.


In an op-ed published this week, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland unloaded with full force against the Ohio Republican, who has made an immediate impact on the Trump impeachment hearings since recently joining the House Intelligence Committee.


The scathing essay, written by Brent Larkin, a retired editorial director for the paper, refers to Jordan as a “seven-term sycophant” who is defending President Trump as part of a greater scheme to seek the presidency himself in 2024.

Larkin asserts Jordan owes his House seat to bipartisan gerrymandering and has since become “the second most contemptible human being in the entire U.S. government,” next only to Trump.


“When Jordan slithers out from under his rock each morning, dons a shirt and tie -- sans the jacket, lest he be mistaken for Joe McCarthy -- his life’s work is to besmirch everything America stands for in service of Donald Trump,” Larkin writes. “And now it’s fitting that Republicans have given this seven-term sycophant a starring role in the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump.”

But despite the media bashing, fellow Republicans and conservatives appear to appreciate Jordan's efforts.

“Now he’s in a leadership position," Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, R-N.C., told The Washington Post, "and the heavy yoke of leadership has moored him into the team in a very constructive way.”

“There has been no greater supporter of President Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda or greater defender from these left-wing attacks than Jim Jordan,” added David Bossie, president of Citizens United. “And the president recognizes fighters when he sees one.”

Jordan, 55, a native of Troy, Ohio, has been in Congress since 2007 after previously serving as a state lawmaker. As a member first of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and now as a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Jordan has become known for his outspoken and confrontational style and piercing questioning of hearing witnesses.

He has also been a brash critic of the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry. Earlier this week, during an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity," Jordan slammed the intelligence panel's Democrats and predicted Americans would reelect President Trump in another "Electoral College landslide" in 2020.

"The American people see [the impeachment inquiry] for what it is," Jordan told host Sean Hannity on Tuesday. "The Democrats have never accepted the fact that 63 million Americans voted for this guy and they want him to come here and shake it up. And he won an Electoral College landslide and they [Democrats] don't care because they don't trust the American people."'

Earlier in the day on Capitol Hill, Jordan gave his view of why Democrats seemed eager to remove Trump from office.

“The Democrats have never accepted the will of the American people,” Jordan said. “The Democrats don’t trust the American people.”

The Plain Dealer op-ed, titled “Jim Jordan was imposed on us for egregiously partisan reasons. Now he’s afflicting the nation,” also accuses Jordan of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse committed by a team doctor when he worked as an assistant wrestling coach at the Ohio State University from 1987 to 1994.

Jordan said earlier this month it was “ridiculous” to assume he had any knowledge of the abuse, the Washington Examiner reported. Jordan and head coach Russ Hellickson were both cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal investigation determined they did not know of the abuse carried out by Dr. Richard Strauss, the wrestling program’s doctor, who committed suicide over a decade ago.

“That makes Jordan an ideal candidate to lead the defense of a malignant president who has bragged about physically abusing women and who has been accused by two dozen women of sexual assault or misconduct,” Larkin writes.

“Why would Jordan so readily ruin what little was left of his reputation?” the author asks. “One theory holds he hopes to inherit Trump’s base for a presidential run of his own in 2024. The swamp will be a crowded place in four years, overrun with loathsome folks angling to continue the dastardly business of shredding the Constitution.”
 
It’s a waste because it will die in the senate. I could understand if the democrats control the senate.

Man you are short sided. That's not the point. We KNOW it will die in the senate. That doesn't mean you dont do your job. The history books will always say, Trump was impeached.

You know who wasn't impeached? Obama. You know who didnt have all his peers jailed? Obama. Didnt have investigation after investigation? Obama.

This about the rule of law, not one election. Trump can win again...so what? He still got impeached.
 
This isn't about the election. This is about doing the right thing. The history books will look back on this moment and ask, "did Congress do the right thing".

You are making the same mistake that Republicans are making and thinking this is all about one man.
I think you mistake where I was going with my reply and the context. Ultimately the republicans I believe are fucked. These last couple races have shown that in deep red territory. As time goes I think we'll start to see the map flip.

My bad I responded to you by mistake.
 
Told you guys the impeachment will back fire. It has definitely rallied his base and now his poll numbers have risen. Now beating Biden

No I’m not short sighted. The problem is that when there is another democratic president and the republicans have control of Congress best believe they will use the same tactic to try to impeachment for any little thing a democrat president does.

The Democrats just opened a pandora box. You should only really use impeachment when you have solid evidence like a tape recording. Not He said She Said!

At least if the democrats had control of the senate then I can understand there strategy but there in a lose lose situation. It’s just a waste of time and money and then the GOP has a wild card for any future democratic president!

No they won't. If that were the case, they'd of impeached Obama for wearing a tan suit.

Bullshit. You don't need a recording if 8 witnesses (who work directly for you) just came out and said you BROKE THE LAW. Based on your rules, NO CRIME would get prosecuted right? All accusations without direct evidence should be thrown out? You sound ridiculous.:rolleyes:

First off, you believe Trump isn't guilty of ANYTHING laid out in hearings. Let's just get that part out there.:hmm: So you really don't care about the constitutional duties that they have to uphold because you believe this is just a witch hunt anyway.
