Jim Jordan bashed as Jamie Raskin confronts him for ignoring House Committee subpoena to testify on Jan 6

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed ignoring a House committee after being subpoenaed to testify regarding the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election on January 6, 2021.

During a House floor debate on Wednesday regarding holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt, Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) argued that accusations of Department of Justice "weaponization" by Republicans dissolved following Hunter Biden's conviction on three felonies, as reported by Raw Story.

What did Rep Jamie Raskin say regarding Rep Jim Jordan during the House floor debate?

Rep Jamie Raskin accused conservatives of pushing former President Donald Trump's felony record "down the Orwellian memory hole to save someone's hurt feelings."

"So what's left to do now?" Raskin remarked. "Well, let's hold the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, in contempt, of course."

The contempt charge against Attorney General Garland was initiated by Republicans who sought an audio recording of President Joe Biden made during Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into mishandled classified documents.

The attorney general claimed he couldn't hand over the recording because the White House had invoked executive privilege.

Raskin then accused Jordan of hypocrisy for similarly refusing to cooperate with a subpoena from the January 6 Committee.

"It's rich beyond measure, like a billionaire rich, to be asked to hold the attorney general in contempt by people who themselves received subpoenas to testify before the January 6th Committee, who never rendered a single document nor a single minute of testimony to the January 6th Committee," the Maryland Democrat claimed.

Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) was quick to defend himself. "First of all, I never said I wouldn't testify in front of the January 6th Committee," the Ohio GOP congressman explained. "I just want to know what the parameters at that testimony were going to be, so I never did say no to that."
