is it fair for the jan 6 committee to subpoena a senior advisor to the president?

Ah so you don't actually care if its partisan. So long as its partisan towards what you believe.

 

Strawman. Never made such an argument.

 

It seems to me these congressional investigations are always a partisan affair trying to score political points with the public. From the 1-6 committee back to Benghazi and on back. Republicans believe in their committees of investigation, the Democrats in theirs, everyone else just shrugs.


The FBI will follow the trail wherever it leads to whomever it leads without the partisan aspect. Personally, I don’t give a coyote’s howl what Pelosi and her committee say they find, it’s all partisan anyway. Now the FBI, I’ll stand up and pay attention.


Fact is in today’s modern political era of polarization, the great divide along with super, mega, ultra-high partisanship, both parties try to make the other party look like they’re the evillest thing on the face of the earth. I don’t trust either party. All each want is either to retain power or to get power and both will do whatever it takes to accomplish that.

 

None the less Congress has, IMHO, a Constitutional duty to investigate efforts to disrupt OUR Government.

 

There are two Republicans on it, and one of them voted for Trump politics over 92% of the time....

 

seems the trumpers have been accusing the FBI of being Partisan since before Hillary lost

one of the first things trump did was say "your fired" to Comey

like it or not...the democrats are in charge at this moment and should do as they damn well please

the republicans certainly do...hence a lunatic named trump appointed 3 SC justices

the last was sworn in during a covid super spreader 8 days before the election of 2020

5 years prior they refused to even consider a nominee 8 months before an election

hypocrisy is not just one party..both sides are guilty

but the GOP has NO SHAME and laughs at their own underhanded tactics

the most sad thing about both parties is that they treat each other like enemies

 

Of course not.

1. Life is not fair and from where most of us are sitting, he got a pretty sweet deal from his father's inheritance.

2. She's not a child and it was inappropriate for him to put her in a senior position in his Administration. He did it. He can't try to give her some diplomatic immunity because he spawned her.

3. If she's woman enough to take that role, she's woman enough to answer for her part in it in whatever they are investigating or any future requests.

4. He's a lifelong idiot and can't cope with the rules we all live by being applied to him. If he can't take the heat, the honorable thing would have been to bail out before the election or step down the very minute he realized he was in over his head and let someone who is not afraid of leading, do it.

 

Wait. Was she his kid or a Senior Advisor to the President? Or, does she step in and out of responsibility based on what you groupies think?

I mean, one minute you are bombing the board about Biden not being in control of the White House AND claiming that Pelosi wouldn't let Trump bring in the National Guard so I know the "rules" are just "fluid excuses" depending on how the sun sits in the sky.

 

She is hardly a child and she WAS an employee - wether or not she drew a salary she was listed on the books as an employee

 

The GOP had a golden opportunity to step up and make sure it was bipartisan - they blew it big time

 

And
5. There is a reason why Nepotism is a really really bad idea

 

Because he was involved in organising Jan 6th?

 

That's fine, but I think you'll be disappointed in the number of folks that pay attention to the pre-determined results.

 

Perhaps so, but what counts is the public's perspective on this and the public, at least 58% of them view the committee as being biased. So we'll see.

 

What some Americans think about the 1/6 committee is more of a reflection of the influence of right wing media than anything real.

 

Most definitely.

Accurate and wise.

Well, they did but they also know exactly what role their own members played on the Jan 6th sedition attempt. The same thing happened in 2016 prior to the POTUS election, the GOP know dark illegal monies from Putin's ' foreign assets' were being funneled to them once Trump became the front runner and then the nominee.

 

But a large percentage of the public - the non trump supporters x do think that the GOP brought this on themselves

 

The commission doesn't have any credibility because it has nothing but anti-Trumpers on it.

 

I'm glad you believe voters should decide if Trump wins anything more or not, instead of trying to purposely take him out with kangaroo investigations so that he can't run, taking Trump out of the picture so that voters will be unable to cast the vote they want. It is democrats who are trying to take democracy away from the voters so they can't vote for who they want. Why not show us that you actually are for democracy and let voters decide if Trump runs or wins or not.

 

Because fake CNN and MSDNC told them so....

this is some of the the rejection of Eastmans subpoena...
It pretty much lays out why the made up commission is just that... a made up commission...

 

LOL, the right wing media basically has FoxNews, the left all other media for the most part. But it doesn't mean much as most Americans don't trust the MSM anyway.

• 36% in U.S. have a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in mass media
• 68% of Democrats, 31% of independents and 11% of Republicans trust media
• Democrats' and independents' trust is down five points since 2020, GOP's flat

https://news.gallup.com/poll/355526...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication

• 56% of Americans agree with the statement that "Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations."
• 58% think that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public."

That's sort of the purpose of the investigation - to find out. If you are correct, and there is nothing there, you (and the Trumps) will be vindicated.

 

If you say so. The numbers say different though.

 

America should be 100% "anti-tRumpers"; the SOB brought a mob to Washington and they attacked the Capitol, wiped **** on it's walls. -duh!

 

Are you repeating your mantra to convince yourself?

The Commission has already heard from more than 300 witnesses.

SCUTUS has confirmed all its subpoenas.

The DOJ is going to send those who refuse to testify to jail.

We are light years ahead of a congressional commission lacking credibility.
