Jim Jordan was deeply involved in the attempted coup to overturn the 2020 Election
The net is tightening around Jimbo. As more damning text messages, testimony and phone call records encircle the pint-sized pol from Urbana, Jim Jordan should be breaking out in a cold sweat. The 4th District U.S. congressman should be squirming in his shirt sleeves with each new revelation trickling out about his behind-the-scenes treachery leading […]

Abject sycophant Jim Jordan can’t lie his way out of Jan. 6 role
