Trump’s GOP lapdogs in the House are very nervous about Cohen testifying

By Dan Desai Martin -January 11, 2019




Now that they're in the minority, House Republicans can no longer shield Trump from real oversight.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a man accused of turning a blind eye to students getting molested, is now outraged at the idea of Democrats investigating Trump’s alleged criminal activity.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), chair of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform, announced earlier this week that Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer and “fixer,” will testify publicly before the committee on Feb. 7.
..........................................

Jordan, a co-founder of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and a longtime Trump lackey, was apoplectic that Democrats would dare to do their constitutional duty by conducting oversight of Trump and investigating his potential crimes.

Jordan claimed in a statement that Cummings “will be using the committee as a venue for political theater rather than legitimate oversight.”

He refused to elaborate on why Trump’s alleged criminal activity is not a “legitimate” line of congressional investigation.........................

1. LOL! Possible criminal activity by a president is not appropriate fodder for the House Committee

on Oversight?

OK, Jim. You go with that. You asshole.

[olegramps]

23. Jordan exemplfies the corrupt Republican criminal enterprise. Only a useful idiot in a grand game.

The citizens of our nation had better come to the realization that the greatest threat to our constitutional government is not the Russians or the Chinese, but the Republican Party. The Republican Party is under the domination of a coalition comprised of the most extreme cliques. This is comprised of the oligarchs who are solely driven by greed, the radically fanatical religious right wing factions who are determined to transform their religious beliefs into law and not lastly the diehard racists who the Republicans have provided with authenticity and empowerment.

The oligarchs only view the religious extremists and racists as useful idiots in their quest for the formation of a authoritarian government that they can control. They will be conveniently discarded when their usefulness is no longer tolerated. The majority of the people, drowning in apathy, are ceding control over their existence without a whimper of protest. Will they awaken in time or not is the question.

32. Jordan is in deep & I fully expect like Nunes, Graham and others will be

...shown to have been covering for Trump and aiding and abetting Russia...

2. When does one of the house committees

get the tax returns? I hope they have some good forensic accountants on board. That will create news for weeks.

[Ohiogal]

3. This is one guy

I find almost as totally loathsome as Trump.

I gladly will watch him squirm.

[OnDoutside]

18. He just HAS to be incriminated in something, there was a smell of anguished desperation off him.

[TNNurse]

4. If there is video of Jordan squirming and sweating

in fear, I would watch. I might even pay a little. Add Kevin McCarthy and some others and it will be a hit.

[Iliyah]

5. Well Gowdy's gone . . .

Nunes with fear in his eyes like that night when he was sneaking around the WH grounds.

[Mr. Ected]

6. Just because Republicans use Congress "as a venue for political theater"

Does not mean that a legitimate investigation based on reams of evidence, including information already available to the public, should not proceed.

Perhaps it's time to realize, Jim, that most Americans aren't as stupid as your FOX news fanboys.

[empedocles]

7. Reams of information, that affect so many different people everywhere,

- are needed to build a good , bipartisan bloc to do the necessary thngs.

[malaise]

10. Ding ding

We have a winner

[saidsimplesimon]

8. "Panties in a wad"

What an image for this early in the AM.

I will love every minute of Jordan's angst as witness, after witness confirms the names repeatedly of all Republicans who received Russian campaign donations.

[Scarsdale]

9. "political theater"???

Where the HELL was this child molester enabler during Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi?? How about "but her e-mails"?? "Lock her up"? THAT was political theater. Investigating a TRAITOR to the country is NOT. How much Russian money did he collect?

[PatSeg]

11. Classic republican tactic

Accuse your opponents of what you are guilty of and assume that your base has a very short memory or just doesn't care.

[Tarc]

12. "Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), chair of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform"

I would like to print that out and frame it, it is such heart-warmingly good news to see sane people running the House committees again. No more climate deniers, no more Russian shills, no more wingnut religious kooks.

[vlyons]

13. They all know that Trump is more crocked than a pretzel,

because they themselves are lying grifters, racists, and every other degenerate characteristic. But to actually admit that their leader and party is a criminal enterprise, and that they are neo-Fascists, who would militarily wipe out any resistance -- well they just can't admit that. The Jim Jordans hitched their wagons to the GOP as a means to enrich themselves. They will do and say anything to keep the money rolling their way. It's perfectly OK to keep people enslaved in debt and low wages, trash the environment, privatize every Fed service and sell it to themselves and their cronies.

I need to calm myself down. In thinking about Jim Jordan, I can feel my emotions of anger and aversion rising.

[OnDoutside]

14. Anyone know when the first House Open Session hearings are going to be on ? I need to

make sure I have enough popcorn in. Feb 7 is what I can see so far.

[MineralMan]

15. Just take another Xanax, Jim.

Don't be anxious. The truth will come out eventually. That's what is making you anxious, but you can't do anything about it.

[duforsure]

16. Any republicans in Congress

Who are involved with taking any money funneled to them and their campaigns from putin should be very nervous now. They with trump and many others are facing being publicly exposed for ALL their crimes , and organized conspiracy with putin against our country. Cohen may or may not exposed them at his hearing , but it will be coming out soon, and that's why they are scared to death now they'll be held fully accountable, and they will be. Cohen will just be the begining of the end for many in Congress, trump , and the republican party which is currently being destroyed by putin and trump. They have lost any chance of holding onto the Senate and the Presidency in 2020. The longer they refuse to open the government , the greater number of republicans will lose in 2020. They didn't learn anything from what happened to them from the Mid Terms.

[Andy823]

19. Exactly!

[Eyeball_Kid]

27. Money can always be traced. And it's about the money.

We'll eventually see that GOPers are basking in the illegitimate warmth of Russian rubles. The evidence will show...

[not fooled]

17. Cohen should stay

out of small planes for the next month.

[Honeycombe8]

20. Why is the Oversight Committee conducting the hearing & not the Intelligence Committee?

It was the Intelligence Committee, chaired by the infamous Devin Nunes, that conducted the sham "investigation" into Russian interference with our government and Trump conspiring with Russia.

[Iggo]

30. Because it's their job.

It was their job when the republicans were in charge, too. They just weren't doing their job. Now they're doing their job. And it's a good thing.

[Honeycombe8]

31. I see. nt

[calimary]

21. Cocky SOB. Having trouble coping with a public demotion, Jimmy-Boy?

[shanny]

22. Not one bit. But we should call him by his earned name, "Gym" Jordan.

[dalton99a]

24. The question is: Why is Gym Jordan still in Congress?

[Oldtimeralso]

25. If enough of the MAGA's...

...start to shit bricks, you will have more than enough material to build a 40 foot wall, not just on the southern border but also the USA - Canada border!

[Pepsidog]

26. Jordan will go down in history as a principal in the mess that is the Trump presidency.

[TEB]

28. The chickens are coming home to roost

Gym Jordan f...k off all gop traitors

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. They SHOULD be!!
