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

This is stupid. I have to admit that going after his kids is a joke. Trump Jr wasn’t even part of the administration at the time of this particular issue. Why was he even questioned

 

I seen that, read that and that is why I trust the FBI. Congress, a partisan political body which partisanship reigns supreme. Let the FBI continue, they're doing a good job. Screw congress and the horse they rode in on. Pelsoi and company are investigating this for a hopeful political advantage, finding the truth, no way. Just politics as normal.

 

Yet SCOTUS seems to think otherwise.

And the DOJ is going to send to jail the clowns who wouldn't submit to the subpoena.

 

Did you miss the part where that was the FBI that did that? NOT Congress?

I'm of the same mind as @perotista on this. Let the FBI investigate. Pelosi et al are just in this for the political points. Not the truth.

 

In her own words:
Presidential daughter Ivanka Trump said Wednesday she will take a formal White House position without pay but will be subjected to federal ethics rules.

“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.

Once again, we see the MAGA crowd display their duplicitous nature in their efforts to display fealty to their Orange Messiah.

Let's face it, folks, trying to bridge the gap with the MAGA minions is going to lead us to only one place. The country needs to be prepared to confront their insanity head-on because whatever reasoning they had is all but gone.

 

Kangaroo courts seldom look into things that did not occur.

 

Unfortunately, it is a legal kangaroo court because the way things are set up, the House can legally abuse their power and have total control over everything with a simple majority vote of 218-217. You'll understand that more when Republicans take over the House and can have their very own legal kangaroo courts and sham impeachments - all legal.

 

But this kangaroo court will never look into ALL things that did occur. They are not doing a full and complete investigation....on purpose.

 

The majority decides, it is called democracy.

And the 1/6 Commission is bipartisan.

As for impeaching Biden if the GOP controls the House, why not?

The voters will make a political cost of a baseless procedure.

The Democrats were right to impeach Trump, and the voters gave them Congress.

 

How about law enforcement and our justice system do it's job as far as Jan 6 and the legislative branch do it's job and legislate instead of engaging in another partisan political witch hunt and diversion?

 

And what does Trump or his family have to do with 11 people who planned to go to DC that day and protest who went so too far as to riot?

 

Actually no they cannot. By law Congressional subpoenas shall only be for legislative purposes, they can not be merely fact finding or investigatory. They certainly can't be efforts for find criminal activity by a person.

 

Pictures don't Lie

 

The committee is only "bipartisan" because it is filled with TDS democrats and they purposely picked two anti-Trump Republicans and purposely kept everyone off the committee who would be in Trump's corner. Name one person on the committee who is not an anti-Trumper.

 

Democracy only works when everyone is being honest AND honorable.

So there are those on the committee that are taking the opposite stance? Bi-partisan does not just mean two political parties.

 

Yea pictures don't lie... nothing like agitating a peaceful crowd with flashbangs.... of course if it was Byrd he would just start shooting...

Tin Hats can't stop the Wackododdles

 

There are none.

For the same reason that you don't invite mafiosi to sit on a commission to fight organized crime.

Maybe you wish Taylor-Green, Jordan or Gaetz were on it?

This Commission would have lost all credibility to have members who voted to decertify the election.

Besides the fact that they would have done internal sabotage.

 

And the commission has credibility with nothing but anti-Trumpers on it? They aren't going to try and frame things to their advantage thereby sabotaging the truth? If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you in a place called the Sahara.

 

You can think whatever you want.

In the meantime, more than 300 witnesses have responded to the commissioners' invitation, thousands of documents have been filed, and SCOTUS has confirmed the commission's authority to investigate for Congress.

 

What BS. I am for accepting the will of the voters as I did in 2016. Youy apparently not so much.

 

Why are they making up the fact that the capital was attacked by supporters of the former president?

 

The FBI investigates crimes. And, yes, January 6th many crimes were committed. But, it's Congress' duty to find out, what happened, how and why it happened and make recommendations on how to prevent another occurrence, how to improve Capitol security, how to harden the Capitol against attack, who was involved and how. Many things that don't fall neatly into the heading of "crime".

I'll bet the FBI, DC police and the Capitol Police are all investigating crimes that happened at the Capitol on January 6th, but that doesn't release Congress from doing it's part of the job.

 

the findings of the January 6TH committee will be irrelevant

everybody saw exactly what happened on the very day of January 6th

It was on all the major TV channels live

on January 7th the entire US population had already decided what they saw

some said it was a SAD day for america

others say it was a GREAT day for america

at this point nobody is going to change their belief of what happened that day

I, like many others, think trumps bigger problem will be the SDNY audit of his businesses

the only reason it is just now being done is the white house protected him for 4 years

had he not been president the SDNY would have already filed charges or closed the case

the only thing that can save trump is DELAY DELAY DELAY

if the GOP takes control before the cases are closed the GOP will drop all charges
