Yes, Gym Jordan really is that stupid.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Gym Jordan (R-OH) has signaled a willingness to haul Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg into Congress to explain his investigation of former President Donald Trump’s hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
However, Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent believes “it’s not clear that Jordan… has thought this through,” as this course of action could lead to a counteroffensive from Democrats.

“If and when there is an indictment, we will be able to reconstruct all the facts of this case in a way that makes sense to the American public,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tells Sargent.
Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY), meanwhile, tells Sargent that Jordan’s actions will make it easy for Democrats to argue that House Republicans are “using the official power of Congress to effectively coordinate with a criminal defendant.”
Also — when a witness appears before a Congressional committee, there is a time limit for members, however, there is no time limit for how long a witness can take to respond. Thus, NYC DA Bragg can take all the time he wants to lay out in simple terms the case against Trump — something that will be picked up by every news outlet in the country and replayed over and over and over. Do Republicans REALLY want that?
Remember: Democrats on the committee are former federal attorneys and lawyers. Gym Jordan is a former assistant wrestling coach.
