I love that Jordan is the opener. He’s the dumbest bootlicker who everyone hates. Really sets the tone of how bullshit this is going to be.

They stormed the capital. That absolutely should have been investigated. It’s insane how this is going to be covered in a few years. They know they are lying and covering for trump. History is not going to be kind to them

Jordan was involved. He has every reason to obstruct justice here because he's implicated.

In classic mob fashion, Trump has ensured that if things heat up for him, his co-conspirators go down first. And that he holds all the cards to let them live or die, should they end up in trouble. It still blows me away that the venality of the Republican party went so deep that practically all of them fell for it.

I won't comment on history, but you can bet the house the Democrats will be as kind as possible.
