House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan has been assigned by Republican leadership to serve on the House Intelligence Committee so he can participate in questioning in the open Trump impeachment hearings starting next week.
Jordan, R-Ohio, replaces Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., who temporarily resigned from his post on the panel Friday.
“Jim Jordan has been on the front lines in the fight for fairness and truth. His addition will ensure more accountability and transparency in this sham process," House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement on Friday.
Under current terms, Jordan, as the top Republican on the Oversight Committee, has been in the room for most closed-door depositions. Because he is not a member of the Intelligence Committee, though, the Ohio Republican cannot ask questions.
"In Speaker Pelosi’s House, those responsibilities have fallen victim to partisan witch hunts," McCarthy said. "The typically venerable Intelligence Committee has now become the partisan Impeachment Committee."
McCarthy said Crawford will rejoin the committee after the inquiry is complete.
"Along with millions of Americans across the country who are frustrated with this impeachment-obsessed majority, Rick has offered to step aside for this charade," McCarthy said. "When it is finished, Rick will rejoin the committee and resume his work to keep our country safe."
A senior House Democratic aid tells Fox News that Democrats allowed the personnel shift because “it is customary that whoever the minority proposes is accepted.”

Right on time and here we go with the smearing of Jim Jordan!!! I frankly my dear don’t give a damn, SCREW THEM!!! They are ALL a bunch of pedo’s AND Epstein did not kill himself!!!
Starting a new fundraising campaign called “Pit Bulls for Representatives” to provide at least 3 neglected, unsocialized and hormonal pit bulls to each and every Democrat in the House... care to donate?
Roosterhead was worthless.
Jordan is a fighter.
Glad to see him added to Intel Committee.
>I can’t think of any negatives about this move.
You mean aside from giving this circus legitimacy??
EVERY (R) should cease to go....let the (D) play their silly games
How many House ‘critters does Ark. have?
Trey has been shown to be a deuce.
This should be fun...
“ Ohio State has A LOT OF problems with conduct in their sports programs”
Perhaps if they had players that were actual students
Well, his haircuts would scare the Rats into submission!
Put me in coach!
He’s gonna join the Trump Staff sometime in January. It’s a time thing requirement.
Trey is a good guy. The Committees don’t have a lot of Power. Knock the Dems instead. That makes more sense.
Many people knew about it. Yet it was allowed to continue.
You can choose to believe no one knew..just like Catholics try to claim no one knew...but THEY KNEW
Jim Jordan is someone who could be President, one day.
It is such a prevalent practice that they are actually trying to change the rules.
In the mean time,.. #1 pick of NFL AND NBA draft have been suspended in the same day
Trey is gone. Never did much. Good speaker though.
Finally, after living through the bush years, republicans place a conservative on a real committee doing real things.
Three years after Trump was elected. But still.
There is no scandal brewing. there is a smear campaign designed to take him out.

You win the Daily Double (x2).
Stop it already, this smearing has gone on WAY too long!
