Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) doesn’t believe in using his power to pass legislation. Jordan has consistently been one of the least productive members of the House. The driving force behind Jordan’s right-wing political star is to investigate the Democratic Party and clean up after President Trump.
With Republicans in control of the entire federal government, Jordan appeared to be off the hook as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which is why he is investigating the 1/6 incident. is one of the jack smithand investigating means pushing conspiracy theories that he has debunked.
CNN’s Dana Bash asked Jordan: “You and I spoke in November. I asked if you could call Jack Smith to testify. He said it hasn’t been decided yet, but that’s under consideration. His report. He has resigned. Could you please call him to testify?”
Jordan replied:
We’re still figuring it all out. One of the things we look into is one of his lawyers.
So this is one of the many questions that I think we need, uh, we need some answers to. But one of the people who worked for him, Jay Blatt, went to the lawyer who was representing one of the defendants in this case, Walt Nauta, and said, “You’re a Trump guy.” I didn’t know that.” I thought you might be interested in this judge position.
You can’t do that. So let’s investigate that. We’ll look at some things Jack Smith didn’t include in his report.
That seems to have happened since I got here in November. 26 confidential sources who were there on January 6, 2021. 17 people were inside restricted spaces and four inside the Capitol.
They were ordered by the FBI to be there…I think there are a lot of answers, people, there are a lot of questions that the American people want answers to.

This should all be music to Democrats’ ears. Rep. Jamie Raskin joins Judiciary Committee. Democrats on the committee plan to use the hearing on Jack Smith as a platform to remind Americans of Trump’s role in the 1/6 attack. If Jordan invites Smith to testify, it would be a disaster for Trump.
Jim Jordan has spent the past four years trying to whitewash the history of the 1/6 attack, but if he investigates Jack Smith, he will give Democrats another chance to carve in stone the real story of Trump’s insurrection. It will be.
