.MaddowBlog: GOP gives Rep. Jordan a plum special assignment in impeachment inquiry.
The timing was less than ideal. On Thursday night, NBC News ran a new report on the latest witness to accuse Rep. Jim Jordan of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse of student athletes during his time as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University. The latest allegations, which the far-right congressman has repeatedly denied, were raised by a referee who filed a lawsuit last week.
Jordan was tapped by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Friday to temporarily take the spot of Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., on the Intelligence Committee. To state the obvious, if the House Republican leadership had complete confidence in Nunes and his team, there wouldn’t have been any need to bring in Jordan as some kind of pinch-hitter. Whether he intended to or not, McCarthy effectively signaled a belief that Nunes & Co. aren’t quite up to the job.
