Jordan Confirms He Spoke with Trump Day of the Insurrection
The New York Times reported last week that Representative Jim Jordan participated in a meeting at the White House, where he plotted with Trump on how best to contest the results of the 2020 presidential election.
He also went on record saying, "I don't know how you can ever convince me that President Trump didn't actually win this thing."
Jordan also voted against certifying the results of the presidential election, signed onto a legal brief asking the Supreme Court to reject the election results, and voted against creating the House select committee to investigate the insurrectionist riot.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy nevertheless tried to appoint Jordan to the investigatory panel—a choice House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected—because as Representative Liz Cheney noted, Jordan may very well be called to testify before the committee, because of his involvement in the January 6th attack.
His conflict of interest aside, it is becoming increasingly clear why:
Jordan appeared on Fox News on Tuesday and conceded that he and Trump spoke on January 6th.
Taylor Popielarz of Spectrum News interviewed Jordan later, and tried to nail down the details. "Yes or No: Did you speak with President Trump on January 6?"
"Yeah, I mean, I speak—I spoke with the president last week. I speak with the president all the time. I spoke with him on January 6th. I mean, I talk with President Trump all the time. And that's—that's—I don't think that's unusual. I would expect members of Congress to talk with the President of the United States when they're trying to get done the things they told the voters in their district to do. I'm actually kind of amazed sometimes that people keep asking this question. Of course, I talk to the president all the time. I talked, like I said, I talked with him last week."
Asked to clarify whether he and Trump spoke before, during, or after the Capitol attack, Jordan added:
"Uh, I'd have to go, I'd—I—I—I just don't know. Uh, I'd have to go back and, I mean, I don't—I don't—I don't know, uh, that—when those conversations happened. But, um, what I know is that I spoke with him all the time."
"Uh, I'd have to go, I'd—I—I—I just don't know. Uh, I'd have to go back and, I mean, I don't—I don't—I don't know, uh, that—when those conversations happened. But, um, what I know is that I spoke with him all the time." -Jim Jordan
WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Representative Mo Brooks asked a federal judge on Wednesday to grant him immunity from a civil lawsuit alleging a speech he delivered to then-President Donald Trump's supporters on Jan. 6 helped incite the attack on the Capitol.
In a series of court filings, Brooks addressed a decision by the Justice Department issued last week, which determined it could not defend the Alabama congressman because he was not acting within his scope of employment as a member of Congress when he spoke at the rally. -snip
Hopefully the judge throws out his request, this criminal needs to go down. He's was the one who was wearing body-armor under his jacket when he helped incite the insurrection.
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger told reporters that the man, identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry, parked his vehicle on a sidewalk outside the U.S. Library of Congress at about 9:15 a.m. EDT (1315 GMT) and told an officer who approached him that he had a bomb while holding what appeared to be a detonator. -snip
A video livestreamed on Facebook showed Roseberry, a bald white man with a goatee, speaking inside a black truck parked on a sidewalk.
"The revolution's on, it's here," Roseberry said in the video, while appearing to hold a large metal cannister on his lap. "I'm ready to die for the cause." -snip
Look, another "True Patriot". What a deranged loser.
Did not know. but apparently back in Feb this happened:
"Today, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi introduced a resolution to establish January 6th as a National Day of Remembrance in honor of those who died at the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th, 2021." -snip
I had mentioned this needed to happen before, this needs to happen, maybe Biden can sign executive order declaring Jan 6th a national day if congress fails to act accordingly. America must never forget we had an insurrection and attempted coup, as some try their best to sweep it under the rug.
Yeah, Whirly. This is what I was talking about. He apparently wanted to get shot by Joe Biden to start the revolution. I also gathered that the US pulling out of Afghanistan was the straw that broke the camel's back. I guess he just couldn't take so much good ol' American freedom ending there. 20 years wasn't enough for him, I guess.
