Gym Jordan has a history of covering up sordid behavior, but he's been clearly rattled by the subpoena from the January 6th Committee. Greg Sargent runs down what Jordan might know.
Ultimately, the idea that there will be some extraordinary revelation that will change the behavior of either elected Republicans or their feral voting base seems naïve. We've been through Mueller and various iterations, including two impeachments. For whatever reason, the Department of Justice has seemed less interested in prosecuting those in Trump's inner circle, unless there are no other options.
We know that Trump participated in meetings that pushed the idea of stopping the certification of the election. We know that he pressured state election officials to change results. He's guilty as fuck and additional hearings are just filling in gaps in our knowledge.
As long as Republicans remain in thrall to Trump and his criminality, there will not be a normal reckoning. This is at the heart of the threats to our democracy.
