Ohio Republican Congressman Rep. Jim Jordan was recently asked by a group of reporters outside Capitol Hill about the January 6th Select Committee.
Rep. Jordan has recently called for an investigation into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her unconstitutional power grab and attempts of unethical prosecution of witnesses.
“There’s been subpoenas issued to 11 individuals, 11 American citizens who asked the government permission on an application to hold the Trump rally,” Jordan said.
“The government granted it and now the January 6 committee petitions them to ask them questions about exercising their First Amendment right to assemble,” he added.
“And why would they subpoena me? I didn’t do anything wrong — I talked to the president,” he told the Washington Post. “I talk to the president all the time. I just think that’s — you know where I’m at on this commission — this is all about going after President Trump. That seems obvious.”
“And they told these companies that, by the way, don’t let the person we’re telling you to preserve information for, don’t let them know as the law requires, don’t let them know that we’ve asked you to do this,” he said.
“This is scary where they want to go and what they’re doing to Americans’ constitutional rights. And finally, I would ask the fundamental question, how would you expect witnesses to participate when you wouldn’t let Republicans participate in the committee? How can you do that? We know what this is about, it’s plain and simple, this is about they’ve got nothing else to talk about.” He added.
Speaker Pelosi has used several unconstitutional and unauthorized powers while picking out members of this “J6 Select Committee” and has turned down Republicans from being a part of this investigation. Only allowing 2 GOP lawmakers to be a part of this body. Both of these “Republicans”, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger having a long history of Anti-Trump bias.
