and they timed out. the republican party refused to participate in the committee, dismissing it as a political cover up and hatchet job. it has permanently damaged the house and divided this country. and let s be honest, it is a smoke screen for democrats to push their radical agenda. the room where the january 6th hearings took place is now renamed after nancy pelosi. decades ago, this was where the house un american activities committee grilled those accused of communist subversion. the january 6th committee met for the last time in december. what s happened since, of course, is that the republicans now control the house of representatives and that means that they now control this furniture of congressional inquiry, and they get to deploy it with their own political aims in mind. jimjordan is now the chair of the housejudiciary committee. he s formed a new subcommittee
shows up and there s not one single vote for president trump? one of the lawsuits is about 53 votes, isn t it? well, i mean, iwant every legitimate ballot counted. i think every single american wants every legitimate ballot counted. what we don t want is illegitimate illegal votes, illegal ballots counted, because that undermines the integrity of our election system, plain and simple. get out. despite dozens of court cases, investigations by election officials and donald trump s own attorney general, no evidence has been found indicating any fraud or irregularities that would have changed the result in any state, still less of the presidential election as a whole. nevertheless, jim jordan, like former president trump, still thinks there are important unanswered questions about the election. on january the 6th, i remember speaking to peaceful protesters who had a fundamental belief that the election had been stolen despite the absence of any evidence.

i believe we re in big trouble there. i do. i believe that this election has made a lot of people think, why bother? you know, if it s going to be rigged or there s going to be results that don t come out to be true. there s a reason that trump is so upset. i haven t seen any hard evidence of any flat out deception or fraud, but there s a reason that man is so upset and it ain t just because he didn t win the election. that belief was inspired by people like representative jim jordan. the difference now is that mr jordan occupies one of the most powerful positions in the house of representatives. yes, representative jim jordan has this committee that s called the weaponization of the federal government. i do not applaud the the words he s using. i don t think it s helpful to talk about something vague like the deep
committee, we expect to hear from government officials and experts like we have here today. we expect to hear from americans who ve been targeted by their government. we expect to hear from people in the media and we expect to hear from the fbi agents who have come forward as whistle blowers. jim jordan is one of the most vocal of president trump s supporters. i met him two days after the 2020 election while the votes were still being counted. he was leading a small but vocal protest at the statehouse in harrisburg, pennsylvania, alleging the election was being stolen. when the president says there s been widespread fraud, how do you explain the fact that 23,000 ballots show up and, shazam, they re all for biden? how does that happen? it s statistically impossible. itjust can t have happened. things happen. do you think do you think 23,000 ballots, one whole batch of ballots
