@emptywheel wrote about Jim Jordan holiday info dump from Jack Smith iview, let's keep talking about it
Jim Jordan was afraid of the mob during the Jan 6th insurrection
The insurrection and many other crimes would have not happened if it weren't for Trump
Smith still can't talk about theft of classified documents because Cannon is still bogarting the report

Perhaps the funniest disclosure from the Jack Smith deposition that Jim Jordan tried to bury under New Years Eve festivities is that when Jordan called Trump as Trump's mob was attacking the Capitol, he was scared.
