Nothing but excuses from Arkansas Representative Rick Crawford

Maine Writer- Obviously, Republicans preferred garbage mouth from Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, who is under investigation for not reporting sexual misconduct, rather than Arkansas Rep. Rick Crawford, because they wanted a dirreha sound bite to put on the evening news.  Rather than bring Republican credible witnesses to the Intelligence Impeachment Hearing, they put motor mouth Jim Jordan on the committee to spew incohenence.  

Arkansas opinion - I almost choked on my toast while reading the news Saturday morning on my new electric newspaper.

After wiping the jam off the screen, I read that U.S. House Rep. Rick Crawford had gallantly surrendered his position on the hot-seat House Intelligence Committee to a fellow representative from Ohio, a more aggressive apologist and attack-dog for the president.

The article was overall pretty funny, but it was the last section that almost did me in: Representative Crawford started by accusing his committee chairman of being a 'liar' (good start to re-establishing a working relationship there, Rick), and excused his not attending the committee hearings regularly by calling it a "dog and pony show," and providing all the excuses under the sun for why he couldn't do the job we sent him to Congress to do.

The final sentence of the article was delivered like a Good Republican with a bad case of Alzheimer's and certified short-term memory loss: "If Democrats are 'weaponizing' impeachment, it sets a precedent for future presidents and future Congresses, Crawford added."

Can we perhaps recall Benghazi, the endless investigation of Hillary Clinton--that magically disappeared after her defeat--and the Star Chamber investigation of Bill Clinton? Can we please re-evaluate the history of "weaponizing" committee investigations?

But perhaps my representative just decided to be like Huckleberry Finn and duck out the back and lay low for a while. While you're out fishing on the river bank and another man is doing your job, you should have time to come up with some more excuses for the real estate salesman who accepts no constitutional limit on anything he wants. All the other excuses haven't held water for long.

Oh, our president does so love the crowds' roar, but if he could but love our nation and moral principles a little more ...

Maine Writer Post Script - Jim Jordan is a rambling idiot! Instead of calling credible witnesses to the Donald Trump impeachment hearings, the Republicans used a bone spur defense by putting Jim Jordan on the interviewing committee, just to create a false narrative about quid pro quo.
