MAGA rep's desperate bid to 'bury' his own J6 'cowardice' backfires spectacularly: expert

MAGA Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tried to pull a fast one this week by releasing explosive Jack Smith deposition materials on New Year's Eve, a national security reporter wrote Thursday.

Smith’s closed-door House Judiciary testimony mainly underscored that he viewed his criminal cases against President Donald Trump as fact‑driven, apolitical, and that he still believes the evidence would have produced convictions at trial.

Marcy Wheeler wrote on her Empty Wheel blog that Jordan tried to "bury" the deposition and his own "cowardice" in a "cowardly" New Year's Eve document dump.

The phone records proved Jordan actually made the call and documented exactly when it happened, providing what Smith called "extremely probative" evidence for his case.
