It was recently reported that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan says the Democrats committee investigating the incident at the U.S. Capitol last January is a “complete assault on Americans’ liberty.”
Jordan, who has called for an investigation into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her role surrounding that day, also said the Dem-led investigation is a “political operation” designed to stop Donald Trump from running for the White House again.
“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,” Jordan said. “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.”
Continuing his criticism, Jordan said that “everyone in the country sees this as a political operation. This is designed to get after President Trump. Because they don’t want him to run again.”
The Ohio lawmaker predicted that Trump “is going to run again and I think he’s going to win.”
“I think anyone with common sense would be reluctant to go talk to this committee. They’ve already proven that they will alter evidence and lie to the American people about it,” Jordan added.
Back in July, Jordan called for an investigation into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
While briefly speaking to CNN reporter Manu Raju, Jordan was asked about the Democrat-led January 6 Commission that will investigate the events at the U.S. Capitol.
Jordan wasted little time saying the investigation was nothing more than a witch hunt aimed at going after Donald Trump.
He also said the Commission should investigate Pelosi and what she knows about what happened on Jan. 6.
The entire committee, Pelosi, Schiff, the Biden Administration and the rest should be locked up in prison for their numerous violations of the Constitution.
