GOP leader Kevin McCarthy challenges legitimacy of Jan. 6 panel, subpoena to him

…Berke said part of his argument is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rules require a ranking member to be appointed in order for a committee to lawfully seated, and McCarthy was denied the right to do so as Minority Leader.

:"The Speaker has failed to act in accordance with the Rules of the United States House of Representatives (“Rules of the House” or “House Rules”) she put forth, and as a result, the Select Committee has operated both in composition and manner that deviates from the duly authorized Resolution that created it," he wrote.

"The Select Committee failed this mandate from the outset when Speaker Pelosi violated 232 years of continuous precedent by refusing to allow the minority party to select its representation on the committee."

Investigative reporter John Solomon covered an interesting story here. The minority leader is right to challenge the legitimacy of the Jan 6 committee for its manner of creation and actions that break House rules. McCarthy and his lawyer are doing the right thing here.

 

McCarthy and other members of congress should defy this committee and openly mock its members and their so called power openly and to their faces. They should show the full and genuine contempt they and we the people have for Pelosi and her select committee

 

what does he have to hide?

 

Ever heard of a presumption of innocence?

 

this is not a court of law.... what do you think he has to hide

I mean technically the shooter in Texas is presumed innocent as he has never been found guilty in a court of law

 

John Solomon is a Discredited Conspiratorial Loon (with Zero Credibility)...
While he won a number of awards (including the 2008 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award) for his investigative journalism, he has in recent years been accused of magnifying small scandals, creating fake controversy and advancing conspiracy theories
Hard to imagine that anybody would even waste bandwidth in Current Events based on the rants of this looney toon.

As far as McCarthy's Idiocy?
Good luck in Court. Godspeed.

 

Typical reaction to a flip flopping ass kisser like McCarthy. Nothing new. It's why he is at the top of a political party. Flip flops with the wind. No real conviction.

 

Maybe they can even achieve over turning a legal, legit election of the presidential election in the process.
To hell with America and it's Constitution.

 

Not the issue at all. What he has to say or not say is immaterial to the issues raised, the very legitimacy of the committee itself and the actions of the witch who created it. Let’s just tie it up in court until next year when this committee itself will be the focus of hearings into it’s illegitimate creation and illegal actions.

 

yeah, that is not the issue at all, the issue is he doesn't want to tell what he knows, question is why?

 

It may not be a court of law. But its definitely not just a public sphere either. It can be likened to a criminal investigation in so far as you are under oath and can result in a criminal prosecution. Which is why you can even plead the 5th during any testimony you give.

That aside, him doing this, unless you have proof otherwise, does not automatically mean he's trying to hide anything. For all you know he may simply be insulted at being subpoenaed.

 

Attacking the messenger does no good as even a broken clock can be right twice a day. Try arguing what is said instead. Doing such would actually give you some credibility.

 

I am talking about us talking about it here

yes, there he would be under oath and have to tell the truth, if he has something to hide, he can take the 5th

 

A useless question to ask then as no one here even has met the man, much less knows his thoughts.

That is NOT how the 5th Amendment works. You know this.

 

either do you...... that is why he should tell his truth..... but he can take the 5th if he wants

that is the way the public sees it, the way Trump sees it

 

It won't matter what he says. You've already judged him. If he says what you want to believe you'll believe him, even if its a lie, if he doesn't you will call him a liar, or at least insinuate as much. And if he pleads the 5th you will think he's hiding something and deserves derision. There is no upside for him in saying anything. Indeed any lawyer worth their salt would tell him to shut it, regardless if he's guilty of something or not.

Irrelevant. Quite telling that you think it should be. Also, since when do you speak for or speak on behalf of "the public" (much less Trump)? Who put you in charge of such things? Mayhap projection isn't your strong suit.

 

Truth. And Glen Greenwald is a Russian paid shill since we are on shill topics.

 

So I guess that the inability to handle an informed opinion comes from authoritarian leanings?

 

Trump's crooked crew takes the fifth the way he snorts Adderall.

 

Well, you do follow Biden sooooo...... if the shoe fits. :shrug:

 

I'm not the one changing his position on abortion and then trying to take away the bodily autonomy choice of women. That's truly authoritarian.

 

The child has bodily autonomy also. And a Right to live. If its authoritarian to prevent the killing of a child then so be it. Sign me up. Interestingly enough, if your mother had aborted you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Aren't you thankful your mother didn't abort you? I know abortion survivors are glad they're alive.

It's a fetus not a child. Children were killed by an 18 YO just recently.
Unless you are an authoritarian or a simple fearful of becoming extinct misogynist, women must have bodily autonomy.

Even Kevin knows this but is ham strung by the Trump base.

 

Yes, it is a child. But thank you for proving what I said in my other thread.
