    Q So did you develop evidence that President Trump, you know, was responsible for the violence at the Capitol on January 6th?

    A So our view of the evidence was that he caused it and that he exploited it and 8 that it was foreseeable to him.

    Q But you don’t have any evidence that he instructed people to crash the Capitol, do you?

  2. @emptywheel wrote about Jim Jordan holiday info dump from Jack Smith iview, let's keep talking about it

    Jim Jordan was afraid of the mob during the Jan 6th insurrection

    The insurrection and many other crimes would have not happened if it weren't for Trump

    Smith still can't talk about theft of classified documents because Cannon is still bogarting the report

  4. An excellent piece by Renee DiResta @lawfare on the history of HUAC and its resonances today.

    "[under HUAC], strident inquisitions and the abuse of subpoena power lasted for decades in the lower house. I learned this after becoming fascinated by HUAC following the receipt of my first congressional subpoena, from Rep. Jim Jordan and his House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government."

  5. #JimJordan's bid for House speakership faces opposition despite majority support from House Republicans. #DanCrenshaw advises Jordan against aggressive tactics, stressing unity and dialogue. After #KevinMcCarthy's removal, Jordan seeks timely support from hesitant members, but public pressure from Jordan's camp, endorsed by #DonaldTrump, may backfire.
