Jim Jordan sure has changed his tune. Last summer, the Ohio Rep. declared "If they call me, I got nothing to hide," but then clammed up when the committee asked for his cooperation. Now, subpoena in hand, Mr. "I got nothing to hide" seems very reluctant to answer questions about his connections to the attack and his conversations with the former president.
As the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan is perfectly within his rights to question the validity, constitutionality, and legislative purpose behind the subpoenas, which were issued by a partisan ad-hoc House Committee that has altered and publicly misrepresented nonpublic information about GOP lawmakers.
There's a tried and true playbook for fighting Congressional subpoenas: fight, appeal, delay. It's will now come to the rescue of Jordan and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Time is not on the side of the Jan. 6 Committee.
