Select Committee Demands Records, Threatens Subpoenas

Hello Darth,



The real reason Republicans don't want to talk about the insurrection is denial of the danger of Republican propaganda.

It needs to be addressed or it's only going to get worse.

What insurrection? You mean the one the Democrats did during their successful (so far) coup of the federal government?
 
You don't need to prove "coordination" to prove crimes were committed. You really are desperate to whitewash the Jan 6 Capitol Riot. Keep trying because it's a lost cause. There's plenty of evidence of crimes being committed against America by the MAGA crowd and that's why there's an investigation. The truth will come out as the evidence is gathered.
You're scared shitless about what the evidence will reveal, aren't you. This isn't a CyberNinja Arizona Audit or a MyPillow Symposium. This is a REAL investigation.

Still can't name a crime, can ya?

Idiot.

Not scared at all, actually lol.

It never made a damn bit of sense for Trump—or any Republican in power, to organize 1/6. It was either going to end in a bloodbath for the rioters or a horrendous political liability for Republicans and *especially* for Trump and the MAGA movement. An idiot could have predicted the outcome.

Maybe ‘that was according to plan’, huh?
 
We need to get to the bottom of how the insurrection happened.

personally I think it may have been an intentional leak of an Insurrection Virus from an unlicensed antifa lab in Portland........fortunately, it had a limited infection rate, only lasted four hours and there were no casualties.......

Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it didn't make sense to the idiots in question like Trump, Jim Jordan, Josh Hawley and others.

Maybe that's why Trump said this a few weeks before the Insurrection:

President Trump on Saturday promised a "wild" protest in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, as he continued to deny that he lost the election.
"Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election," he tweeted. "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"


But you have to continue to believe that "It never made a damn bit of sense for Trump—or any Republican in power, to organize 1/6" because if they DID organize 1/6, then you and your party are fucked. So keep telling yourself bullshit that allows you to sleep at night. The REAL truth will come out so you have to come up with some new bullshit to appease yourself. But you've been pretty good at that all along so I'm guessing you'll have no trouble with it.

Oh look, a true believer.
 
Hello Micawber,

I don't get the informal request method. I would always use a subpoena. That's the best assurance of getting all the docs and not just
some less the ones the subpoenaed party chooses to conveniently forget about.

I know, right?

Gotta be something to do with the public nature of the case, and politics.

Seeking justice at the legislative level is so different than the justice system.
 
Hello Darth,

... It never made a damn bit of sense for Trump—or any Republican in power, to organize 1/6. It was either going to end in a bloodbath for the rioters or a horrendous political liability for Republicans and *especially* for Trump and the MAGA movement. An idiot could have predicted the outcome. ...

But that didn't stop them from doing it anyway.

Trump's entire life has been a mistake. He could have accomplished so much more with his talent, but he squandered it on petty greed and chasing shallow wealth.

It is starkly remarkable that he could have been so much richer if he had simply made traditionally conservative investments in mutual funds with the wealth he inherited than by all the cheating and fraud he chose.

How sad and foolish!

His only real talent being that he has the gift of gab, and the ability to talk people into things they ordinarily would never have gotten involved in.
 
January 6 select committee refutes claim by McCarthy that the Justice Department cleared Trump of any role in insurrection

The top members of the select committee investigating the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill refuted recent claims by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy that former President Donald Trump has been cleared by the Justice Department of any role in the insurrection.

"(McCarthy) has suggested, based on an anonymous report, that the Department of Justice has concluded that Donald Trump did not cause, incite, or provoke the violence on January 6th," the statement read. "When this anonymous report was first published, the Select Committee queried the Executive Branch agencies and congressional committees involved in the investigation. We've received answers and briefings from the relevant entities, and it's been made clear to us that reports of such a conclusion are baseless."

The statement by Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney calls out McCarthy's comments to KGET-TV this week where he suggested Trump played no role in coordinating the insurrection.

"That's where law enforcement comes. The FBI has investigated this. The Senate had bipartisan committees come back. And you know what they've found -- that there's no involvement. But this is purely political in how Nancy Pelosi has handled this," McCarthy, a California Republican, said in the interview with KGET.

McCarthy and many other Republicans have used a report from Reuters that claims the FBI has found "scant evidence" that the January 6 riots were coordinated. CNN has not
independently confirmed that report.

The committee making it clear that Trump has not been cleared of any wrongdoing related to January 6 gives a clear indication that the former President and his allies remain a focal point in their investigation.

"We will continue to pursue all elements of this investigation in a nonpartisan and thorough manner. We also remind Minority Leader McCarthy of his statements following January 6th, including his statement from the House Floor on January 13th—which are inconsistent with his recent comments," the committee's Saturday statement continued.

A week after the insurrection, McCarthy said on the House floor that, "The President bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters. ... He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump.""
