In addition to McCarthy, the select committee subpoenaed Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Andy Biggs of Arizona for testimony

I am surprised that Lauren Boebert is not on the list.

But then, maybe not. She is a woman. And they are men.
 
Hello evince,


"We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done," he said in a statement.

If the five Republicans defy the subpoenas, Thompson said the committee could recommend contempt charges, as it has done for others, though members have not discussed that step. The panel could also make a referral to the House Ethics Committee or explore other civil options, he said, adding the committee is "taking it one step at a time" and hopes lawmakers comply with their subpoenas."

I have a hard time envisioning Jordan complying with this.
 
All the J6 Committee wants to do is talk to them. Talk is what they do for a living. This shouldn't be so hard. It is their duty to do whatever they can to help the nation learn exactly what went on that day. By resisting, it makes them look guilty.
 
When do we get to the point where these planners get arrested, tried, found guilty and sentenced to prison?

Donald Trump belongs in prison. Donald Trump is an insurrectionist.

He spread the big lie. He called the mob together. He told them to fight like hell. He said the certification had to be stopped. He sent them to the Capitol. He did nothing to stop the violence he was watching real time. He incited an insurrection. He broke the law.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection


U.S. Code
Notes

prev | next

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

This is clear enough. The law describes exactly what Donald J Trump did. He did it. Gather the evidence, issue warrant, arrest Donald J Trump, bring him to trial on it. Enough already.

Here's a welcome part:

"the panel's examination of the January 6 assault will enter its public phase next month, holding a series of eight hearings beginning June 9."

When do we get to the part where Trump gets arrested?
 
VDH might be right that it is important that when the R's take Congress they do the same to members of the Revolution that the Revolution is doing to its enemies. He says that this is the only way to get them to stop with their anti-democracy abuse of America....hit em hard.

I however have trouble getting past the "two wrongs dont make a right" thing.

And I dont think they will, R's will continue to betray us.
 
Terrified much? The American Taliban/Republicans sure are! As well they should be!

Why should anyone be? The Jan 6th committee hasn't done or found a goddamned thing since the day it was set up. That isn't going to change between now and November when they're finished because most won't be in congress any longer...

LOLOLOLOL - all those text messages implicating all your republican buddies as cynical two-faced bastards? Trump flushing classified docs down the WH John - all the transcrips of what was being planned at the Willard?

Nothing, you say? Hmmm... LOL if you'd just turn of Newsmax for a moment and watch some real news... you'll be in for a bit of a shock.

Plus the Dems are hiring Hollywood producers and directors to put together June's 1/6 committee presentation. It's going to be a barn-burner.

Don't miss it :)
