Jim Jordan signals prolonged probes into Biden family and debunked Jan. 6 conspiracies

Source: Raw Story

January 21, 2025 10:58PM ET


House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) signaled Tuesday that he may not be done just yet with investigations revolving around former President Joe Biden and his family members – pardons or not – in a preview of a retribution tour to come.

Nor is he satisfied with the debunked, yet still popular right-wing conspiracy theory revolving around the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the 26 FBI informants, known as confidential human sources, who he continued to claim were involved in orchestrating the attack – and not a mob of MAGA supporters.

The remarks came Tuesday night during a sit-down interview with GOP House leadership inside the U.S. Capitol with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “Here’s the big question: is this over?” Hannity asked the Michigan congressman. “Because my understanding is once you get a pardon, you no longer have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. If they go before your committees – every one of these pardoned family members – don’t they have to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help them God?”

Jordan told Hannity that there are “a number of things” that his committee wants to review, and added: “Everything’s on the table.” “I really think one of the keys is the report we got just right before – just a few weeks ago – was with the 26 confidential human sources.”

Like Marge the Barge, this irrelevant Asshole has to act out to gain the Turd's attention. Sorry, Gym the Asshole, but you're not a "Billionaire" so the Turd no longer gives a fuck about you. Pity! Where's my box of Kleenex? Don't worry, Gym, America hasn't forgotten your wrestling career.

about things covered by the pardon as they have no possibility of incriminating themselves (no 5th amendment privilege). However, if they lie about something that happened in the pardon period then that is perjury not covered by the pardon as if happened after Jan 20, 2025.

So, there I was. Feeling very uncomfortable.

Our team's doctor was taking liberties of my person that were not, and could never be, appropriate.

When I came out of the room I saw "sometime to be" Congressman Jim Jordan.

He was staring at his clipboard, staring at his clipboard, staring at his clipboard, staring at his clipboard - preparing to be Congressman Jim Jordan from the great state of Ohio-USA.

Soon, I would feel like killing myself.

"Thanks Coach, you're a champ."

people might expect him to actually do some legislating, and he has no experience doing that.
