Three GOP congressmen proposed amendments, with one inserting the terms 'Hunter Biden' and 'Burisma' into the articles' text.

The House Judiciary Committee spent Thursday marking up the two articles of impeachment filed against President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, a procedural process that featured partisan arguments and amendments from Republicans that sought to invalidate the articles.

Representative Jim Jordan listens during the House Judiciary Committee's markup of articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on December 12."This amendment strikes Article One because Article One ignores the truth," Jordan said. Cooper said a Ukraine official emailed a member of her staff at the time, asking,"What is going on with Ukrainian security assistance?"

No they didn’t. They won the day. No republicans will vote yes and there will be democrats that vote no

Yea... they failed... news flash! He’s already acquitted by the senate

Zaimful The important thing for them is that they publicly tried and Trump will have noticed that and thus not ruin them and their reputations.

Putin's gonna be pissed...

Jim Jordan is a punk

Not biased one bit

Great picture Of GYM Jordan, I’m embarrassed to be from your State!! Vote this man out!!

OF JORDAN, WHO FAILED TO HELP HIS STUDENTS WHO WERE SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY A PEDOPHILE AND WASN'T BRIGHT ENOUGH TO PASS THE BAR EXAM IS THE RISING GOP STAR .... IT'S TIME FOR REAL CONSERVATIVES TO START A NEW PARTY THAT REPRESENTS CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

By the looks of the photo, he looks a bit worried. Why? Because he has disappointed his leader. Think about it, no one gives that reaction, unless it's hard core. An example would be a cult leader...or a mob boss. Just saying that it's an odd reaction...something to think about.

Yes! Thank you HouseJudiciary ! Karma is starting to make her rounds!

You must be watching a different hearing than Americans are. You'll realize it when you're writing stories about American Patriots taking over Capitol Hill when they revolt & seek justice for the corrupt Politicians in Congress. You'll soon see.

Now they know what it feels like

USELESS TURDS.

Sorry, aside from being amused by Jim_Jordan crying, we're totally distracted by the Macy's ad in your posting, oh baby! Politics is politics, but 'boys will be boys'.... Thanks so much, we'll print & post on the wall. Not the article, the advert. Who needs PlayboyMagazine ?

There will be a run on the government if those lying dems don't get out of Washington.The American people hate the government in DC BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING A LOUSY JOB EXCEPT FOR TRUMP!

Did you hear them?!? It's not like their team was filled with big hitters. Literally every time I turned it on all I could think was they sounded like entitled children throwing tantrums that they weren't getting their way

Dear HouseGOP Jim_Jordan , HA ! HA !😄😂😆😅 ImpeachTRUMP !!!!!

Oh don’t you worry - it’s not over till the fat lady says it is.,

They made a horrible spectacle of themselves trying to defend their cult leader.

Doesn’t matter. They know it’s gonna be trump 2020. Suck it.

They need more money. They are running out of juice. Can someone ask Putin to wire more money?

To: Johnson. Like Republicans didn’t say negative things about Obama and Clinton? To: Lesko. On Nadler’s 3 prong test: 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes, but Republicans aren’t listening. To: Rep Collins. Your rambling is an embarrassment to the GOP. Your aids behind you are hiding.

Fake news, give us the real news!

He wanted to be impeachment. He wants a Senate trial. If it goes to the Senate they will expose everything democrats have done wrong for the 3 decades if they can.

Is Jordan CRYING? Must be a terrible burden having to wake everyday and be him.

Need focus of facts about javelins 🎉 12/2017: Javelins approved 🎉 Sale was conditional that Javelins no be used on pro-Russian 🎉 03/2018: Sale completed 🎉 05/2018: Announcement that Ukraine will stop cooperation with investigations of Manafort and Mueller investigation

Report on this

I truly don’t understand what the GOP thinking is. Don’t do realize this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to realDonaldTrump , just look at how much came out after Watergate on Nixon. History is going to look very very badly on the GOP

Is Jim_Jordan weeping? His temper tantrums and screaming are unfitting a Member of the House of Representatives. He’s undeserving of such a position.

They are an embarrassment to those suckers who voted for the con man, lost their farmers, lost coal jobs, lost auto jobs, lost healthcare and will lose in 2020. 👈

This article is music for my ears😂😂😂😂

Losers.

Democrats don't care that there is no crime

They won't fail in the Senate.

So you put up a picture of him so it looks like he's crying? His hands are up out of frustration at the stupidity of the adults in the room.

Why do the GOP members constantly Yell? They have microphones 🎙🤯

Bout time he covered his face Jim_Jordan check you blood pressure

When was the last time realDonaldTrump said a word about corruption in Putin's Russia? Has he ever spoken with Navalny? (Ha!) Why are his conversations with Putin hidden from the American people? How many condos did Donald sell to Russian oligarchs?

House Democrats putting final touches on articles of impeachmentDemocrats are putting the finishing touches on articles of impeachment today, while fending off last-ditch efforts by Republicans to derail them before a final floor vote expected next week Hakeem Jeffries talks of the bipartisan aid to Ukraine let's go back for a moment to the Republican National Convention where lethal aid was taken out of the platform. Mysteriously but clearly that was what Trump wanted since nothing would have proceed in that platform unless... So much talk about a low threshold for investigation let's examine a timeline for a moment as to when those thresholds might have been lowered. Could it perhaps have been after the failures of September 11th 2001 Go get um.. Tubby Nads.... bye bye 2020

USA TODAY @USATODAYHouse Judiciary Committee discusses articles of impeachment against President Trump. This is the biggest farce ever perpetrated by the Democrats.
