1. Skip to 3:55 if you want to avoid a stringing rant of lies from Jordan.

[Nitram]

6. I really had a hard time listening to him issue lie after lie after lie in a totally self-righteous

and sarcastic tone. I'd like to get those 4 minutes back. The clip should have been edited to include perhaps the very end of Jordan's diatribe so that the actual "shut down" played a more prominent role.

2. When did he get shut down?

He raged for his allotted time and then yielded back. I didn't hear any push back about his lying diarrhea mouth

3. He interrupted the witness' opening statement, which was out of line.

[Fritz Walter]

5. At 5:30, Chairman Cummings brought down the gavel

on Jordan for speaking out-of-turn with a clearly audible "No kidding!" during the witness testimony.
Told Jordan "Do NOT interfere with the witness!"
After Jordan tried to explain, he then told him "No, no, no, no no. He's talking!"

4. Remember that Jordan is too stupid to pass the bar exam

7. 🖕🏼🐘🇷🇺💩

8. Jordan is one of the most arrogant assholes to ever "serve"...

...(in quotes because he is only serving himself) in congress. It is absolutely nauseating to see his disrespect on display at all of these hearings. PUT YOUR EFFING SUIT JACKET ON, tough guy.

Typical career politician that claims to despise those who live off the government.

Ain't that right? Coach?

But Republicans are also set to target Mueller with an attack that appears relatively new. I’ll let Jordan explain:

“The obvious question is the one that everyone in the country wants to know: when did you first know there was no conspiracy, coordination or collusion?” said Jordan, one of the Republicans’ fiercest investigators. “How much longer did it take Bob Mueller to figure that out? Did he intentionally wait until after 2018 midterms, or what?”

This is extraordinary. Mueller did not conclude that there was “no collusion.” His report clarified that “collusion” is a legally meaningless term, while also documenting extensive ways in which Trump and his campaign advisers encouraged, sought to profit from, and attempted to conspire with Russia’s “sweeping and systematic” attack on our political system, and then extensively lied about it.

Mueller did not find enough evidence to charge anyone in Trumpworld with a deliberate criminal conspiracy. That is nothing like what Jordan claims. But the monumental distortion that Mueller found no “collusion,” which is meant to imply that he found no wrongdoing or misconduct of any kind, will serve as the foundation for the line of questioning designed to undermine Mueller.

In other words, the Republican line of attack is basically: So when, exactly, did you reach this conclusion that you never actually reached — that no wrongdoing or misconduct of any kind took place — and how long did you conceal this nonexistent conclusion from the American people?
