Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan just simply would not back down against Democrat Chairman Jerrold Nadler during Wednesday’s hearing, and in case you missed it… it was epic.
The Gateway Pundit writes, “Jordan, a minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, went off the Democrats for holding Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for following the law.”
“Bill Barr is following the law and what’s his reward? Democrats gotta hold him in contempt,” Jordan argued, going to explain that Democrats are just trying to find a way to tarnish Attorney General William Barr’s reputation.
They became extremely threatened by Barr when he announced that “spying did occur.”
“He’s [Barr] going to get to the bottom of everything — he’s going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place.” Congressman Jordan said.
Nadler, in his typical condescending and rude fashion, tried repeatedly to interrupt the Ohio Republican, but Jordan paid no mind, going on to explain that the Attorney General had used the term “political surveillance.”
Jordan wasn’t going to back down, insisting “I will not yield,” as he continued on with his 5-minute rant.

The Gateway Pundit reports:
President Trump on Wednesday asserted executive privilege over the full, unredacted version of Mueller’s report and the House Dems voted to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to give Congress the full report and underlying grand jury material.
The Dem-controlled Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), held a vote Wednesday morning and voted on party lines — 22 Dems to 12 Republicans.
The measure will then move to the full House for a vote later this month.
Jim Jordan is correct — the Democrats are afraid of Bill Barr because unlike his predecessor, Jeff Sessions, he is about the rule of law and will not cower in the face of screeching Dems.
