Chairman Jordan's Trump grievance-inspired Committee has been an epic fail.

And still, Jim continues to claim Democrats have weaponized the FBI against Republicans.

The Ohio congressman is so desperate, he's using supposed January 6th deniers as "special witnesses" that are being supported by Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist and former high-ranking official in the former president’s administration.

And Jordan finds nothing strange about that?

During a presser, Jim Jordan was asked about those he's calling to testify:

"Do you think it is appropriate for some of these whistleblowers, including two who will be appearing today, to be paid by one of the former president's closest advisors, Kash Patel?"

"They gotta feed their family! How are they supposed to feed their family!" Jordan yelled.

That's like saying it's okay for John Gotti to be paying off key eyewitnesses on his behalf, because, hey, those witnesses have got families to feed.

There's a reason the FBI took action against Jordan's witnesses.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has revoked the security clearances of three agents who either took part in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, or later expressed views about it that placed into question their “allegiance to the United States,” the bureau said on Wednesday in a letter to congressional investigators.

Jordan is turning the House of Representatives into a Kari Lake Arizona election fraud operation that is full of unsavory characters and lying witnesses.
