Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) refused to back down to Chairman Nadler during a hearing Wednesday and it was epic.
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 said arguing that the Democrats want to destroy Bill Barr because they are afraid of him because he rightly said, “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.” the Ohio lawmaker said.
Chairman Nadler tried to interrupt Jim Jordan as the Republican Congressman pointed out that Bill Barr used the term “political surveillance.”
Rep. Jordan wasn’t having it — “I will not yield!” Jordan said and continued with his tirade.
