It's no great surprise that extreme right wing Trump toady and sexual predator protector Rep. "Gym" Jordan (Coup-OH) has rejected the December 22 request by the House Committee investigating January 6 to testify. After all, he's clearly one of the instigators and co-conspirators, along with other members of the ironically named fascistic "House Freedom Caucus." Showing his consciousness of guilt, he can't seem to recall how many times he spoke to the White House on January 6, giving flustered and conflicting accounts over the past several months. The Committee also wanted Jordan to answer questions about earlier activities connected to the insurrection on January 6:
"The panel is also seeking details of any communications Jordan had that day, or the previous day, with Trump’s legal team, White House staffers, members of the 'war room' team that assembled at the Willard hotel ahead of the attack, and any other people 'involved in organizing or planning the actions and strategies for January 6th.'
The request also specifies that Jordan may be able to provide details about meetings with Trump and White House officials in the weeks and months leading up to Jan. 6 about 'strategies for overturning the results of the 2020 election.'”
The Committee is looking into what, if any, legal recourse they have to compel Jordan and fellow wingnut Rep. Scott Perry (Coup-PA), who also rejected the Committee's request, to testify. Let's hope they find one, and if they refuse, refer them for prosecution by the DOJ.
