I cannot believe a media outlet that purports itself as respected could offer this as news, not opinion:
Jim Jordan showcases his patented interviewing style
House Republicans so value Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan -- and his ability to score points in congressional hearings -- that they added him to the Intelligence Committee just days before Wednesday's hearing.
And Jordan did his thing. He spoke fast. He interrupted. He snarked. ("You're their star witness?" Jordan sarcastically asked Taylor. "I've seen church prayer chains that are easier to understand than this.")
The goal of all of this -- as it always is with Jordan -- is to make witnesses look unsure and unsteady. (When you talk really fast and then push the witness to immediately respond in a single-word answer, it tends to have that effect.)
Did it work with Taylor? There were a few "ums and "ahs" from the ambassador, but he stuck to his story.
