Rep. Jim Jordan ripped into the corrupt Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler during the meeting today. The Judiciary voted along party lines to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt for following the law and not responding to their subpoena.
It now goes to the full House for a vote on contempt charges.

Democrats concocted an outrageously fake scandal around Attorney General Bill Barr and they are getting away with it in large part thanks to the cooperation of the media.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisc., and other members of the Judiciary panel pointed out that the Mueller report includes grand jury testimony and that it would be “a crime” to disclose this testimony.
“The committee, by making this insistence and issuing this subpoena, is telling the attorney general of the United States to commit a crime,” Sensenbrenner said during Wednesday’s hearing. “Because it is a crime for anyone to disclose grand jury information of anyone else.”
Sensenbrenner admonished the Democrats on the committee for making an illegal request.
“It is absolutely shocking that the majority of this committee is going to ask the chief law enforcement officer of the United States to commit a crime,” he stated. Shocking.”

JORDAN CORNERS NADLER
Jordan reminded the committee of the core problem. He read from the letter written by White House Counsel Emmett Flood:
“That the head of our country’s top law enforcement agency [the FBI] has actually done so to the president of the United States should frighten every friend of individual liberty,” Jordan said on the floor of the House. “Under our system of government, unelected executive branch officers and intelligence agency personnel are supposed to answer to the person elected by the people — the president — and not the other way around.”
“This is not a Democratic or a Republican issue; it is a matter of having a government responsible to the people, and, again, not the other way around. In the partisan commotion surrounding the released report, it would be well to remember that what can be done to a president can be done to any of us.”
If politicians can fabricate crimes against a President and an Attorney General, while the MSM conspires with them, no one is safe.
“And this committee is supposed to look out for that fundamental fact more than anything else,” Jordan said afterward. “And we are not doing that today.”
“Consistent with the law, more than one member on the committee expressed concerns Barr was being asked to do something illegal.”
Jordan asked Nadler why he wouldn’t wait on the contempt vote until Mueller testifies.
After “22 months and $35 million, with a whole bunch of Democrat lawyers putting it together — why don’t you wait and ask him next week before we do this contempt resolution?” Jordan told the chairman.
Nadler stuttered a bit after Jordan’s comments, “Well, essentially, because it would be useful to have the material before he is in front of us.”
That is obviously a lie.
The 98.5%-unredacted Mueller report is available to be read and only three Republicans have done so. Why doesn’t Nadler just go read the mostly unredacted copy?
Jim Jordan is targeted by the left in this next election. Democrats hope to unseat him and are falsely claiming he is scandal-ridden. The scandal they are referencing is the fake coach-sexual harassment tale they drummed up.

Outside of the right-leaning media, the MSM is covering it dishonestly.

One Democrat Rep actually stated the purpose of All underlying documents was for the purpose of smearing those who were on the periphery.

For quite some time Democrats have turned their nose to the law, any law.
What’s next, are the Democrats, namely Nadler, going to pursue the Unconstitutional Bill of Attainder.
Well, after all the frustrating stunts by Democrats they have voted out of Committee the Citation for Contempt against AG Wm Barr. What are the odds the Democrats will NOT pursue the enforcement of the subpoena IN court. They certainly do not want a final conclusion on the matter. Nadler wanted Barr to “join” him in Court and since Bar declined, and as Nadler stated, the subpoena was to have “clout” in front of the court for grand jury documents. I’ve never heard SO many hollow, tangential arguments as was on display in that hearing. I certainly wouldn’t have had the decorum the Republicans showed when confronted with such idiocy. The final vote was 24 to 16.
I agree with Jordan, the Dems are sh*ting their pants, the dems and media are feeding their idiot followers that Barr is protecting the President and should be held in contempt and maybe jail, they are trying to smear him as much as they can so when the Hammer drops on how and why this whole coup started they can scream like the little cry babies they are!!!! CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS, DICTATORSHIP, IMPEACH NOW
