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

or is ivanka trump off limits because this is america and we don't "go after the children?"

"Former President Donald Trump slammed the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol insurrection after it asking his daughter Ivanka Trump to sit for an interview, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “It’s a very unfair situation for my children. Very, very unfair.”

He added: “It’s a disgrace, what’s going on. They’re using these things to try and get people’s minds off how incompetently our country is being run. And they don’t care. They’ll go after children.”

 

She should not be off limits because she is not a child.

However, the whole January 6th committee should be abandoned. They are a looking for a crime and trying to make political hay in the process.

 

The 6 Jan committee can subpoena anyone they want. But I’m not sure how much credence the public will give the results of that committee. That is outside of Democrats. I think it would have been better to let the FBI investigate this whole thing and keep partisan politics out of it. But that’s not what Pelosi and company decided. So, let them have at it. 58% of America think the committee is biased anyway. Few have paid any attention to the hearings, yet anyway.


The FBI is much more trusted by America than congress who indulges in partisan politics. But it is what it is. Let the political show continue while the FBI silently does its job. So far over 735 people have been charged. Myself, I trust the FBI, I don’t trust congress as far as I could throw a 50-ton elephant. Congress is full of political hacks trying to gain any political advantage they can. The FBI is dedicated to the search for truth and justice. The total opposite of congress regardless of which party controls it.

 

get back to me as soon as the fbi nabs the anthrax mailer.

the fbi is dedicated, i'm sure, but for "truth and justice?"

 

While she did not accept payment, hers was an official position/job at the WH. Therefore, an employee of the people. Any employee can be asked about their role and experiences while employed at the WH. If he didn't want his children potentially exposed in this way, he should not have brought them in...

 

and besides, nepotism is a violation of gov't employees code of ethics.

"trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue and the media would blame biden" .

 

I would assume that former President Trump would be equally opposed to going after Hunter Biden.

 

I wonder what happens if I look at the post history of these "It's unfair to go after children" folks and see what they had to say about Hunter. And he didn't even work for the administration.

 

An FBI investigation was never on the table. What was on the table was a negotiated, bi-partisan committee that would have wrapped up its work by the end of 2021 had McCarthy agreed to it. Instead, he named two Repubs to the committee he knew Nancy couldn't accept. Especially since one is a material witness currently withholding info from the committee. To date, there is no evidence partisan politics has effected the investigation.
Besides, we both know you folks would have called an FBI investigation corrupt as well.

 

This shows what most Americans think about the 1-6 committee.

Whether that's Pelosi's or McCarthy's fault is irrelevant. Biasness in the committe brings about pre-determined results. I don't trust the committee and I haven't payed one iota of attention to it. But I have followed the FBI.

 

is it fair for the jan 6 committee to subpoena a senior advisor to the president?
If you take the select committee at face value, they would have the right to subpoena certain selected reasonable cause administration officials. But going after Ivanka just exposes the witch hunt kangaroo court the committee is running; one cannot take the committee at face value.

 

...... and you are saying this with a straight poker face......???

 

The whole thing is a kangaroo court, so, nothing off limits.

 

So they're investigating something that didn't occur?

 

And what was her official title for her official position at the WH?
We all missed that

Nope, Just because someone sits in at the request of the president for a meeting, does not make them an employee of the people.
Thats nonsense

Been screaming that about Hunter Biden for years and we all seen how thats been ignored.

 

They can subpoena Ivanka if they want.
But it just shows the desperation of the committee. This is the best witness you can find?
Meaning all they are interested in is her pleading the 5th because they lack anything of value they can provide.

 

If they have knowledge of a crime or potential crimes will being America's representatives, then YES!

But, but, but....."it was all about the Grift, the Grift, the Grift" and it was successful!

Hunter who???

 

It is a kangaroo investigation. They have found the one who they believe to be guilty and then they run sham, biased, investigations where no one around is allowed to defend the accused and then do whatever they have to do to find the person guilty. Who on the committee is in Trump's corner? It's all a sham.

 

No one should be in Trumps corner or the corner of any politician or political party as they do not take an oath to support him or Joe Biden or anyone else they support the people and the Constitution. The people on January 6 supported neither.

 

Not now…. Trump’s first day back in office should be to clean the swamp the way he should have done his first, first day… Trump should publicly call for an investigation into the Biden crime family which would include Hunter and the crimes committed in Ukraine… yea the very thing he was impeached for… He will catch heck either way he goes, being nice the first time did not work and I don’t think Trump will be fooled twice.

 

That is the exact MO of both impeachments… same people involved fishing for any crimes by the exact same group that already voted to impeach him before…. The Dems and RINOs

 

What else do the democrats have to talk about?

On the bright side, more precedents are being set for when the republicans decide to settle scores.

 

So, just for the record, you are for vote suppression, and not letting voters decide who our president should be?

 

I wholeheartedly support no investigations or impeachments of anyone unless you have a supermajority. It's ridiculous that the House has the legal authority to abuse their power in any way they see fit with a simple majority vote of 218-217 and democrats have been wanting to apply those very same standards to the Senate. We need to stop the partisan nonsense of the total abuse of power my simple majority vote. When a simple majority can abuse their power, including changing rules to use a simple majority to consolidate their very own power forever, we are no longer dealing with a democracy. To think how close we came to democrats using simple majority votes to benefit them forever and eliminate the opposing party, it's purely frightening. Both parties need to see the wisdom in bringing us further away from simple majority rule because Republicans could possibly do the very same tricks.

 

FBI arrests Oath Keepers leader on charge of seditious conspiracy involving Jan. 6 attack

Maybe you haven't seen the news lately.

There's nothing that says Congress and the FBI can't both investigate Jan.6.
