Evidence mounts of GOP involvement in Trump election schemes by Farnoush Amiri, Associated Press, WHYY PBS — May 1, 2022 Rioters who smashed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, succeeded — at least temporarily — in delaying the certification of Joe Biden’s election to the White House. Hours before, Rep. Jim Jordan had been trying to achieve the same thing. Texting with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, a close ally and friend, at nearly midnight on Jan. 5, Jordan offered a legal rationale for what President Donald Trump was publicly demanding — that Vice President Mike Pence, in his ceremonial role presiding over the electoral count, somehow assert the authority to reject electors from Biden-won states . Pence “should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all ,” Jordan wrote. “I have pushed for this,” Meadows replied. “Not sure it is going to happen.” [...] — Timeline: Rep.

Just look at his recent attempt to impeach President Biden, to see how deeply his loyalty oath to Trump still runs. The guy even says he will: — — “Whatever you need Sir — I’m your guy. We’ll make that happen Sir. No problem.” — — Trump may have finally found … “his very own Roy Cohn” — even if the guy’s as dumb as a rock — the obnoxious bastard knows how to take orders. Jimbo’s track-record shows that HUGELY … by a Constitution-suspending mile. Following the law is for Chumps and Losers … right Roy? . . . America take note, and then ask: Will a Speaker Jim Jordan be looking out for you? … Hopefully, the traitor Jordan track-record covered here in-part, helps you to decipher that simple answer. PS.
