    Biden is desperate to distract us with this Jan 6 silliness where an UNARMED, DISORGANIZED group of protesters occupied ONE BUILDING. Calling th folks terrorists and the event an insurrection is like calling a tiddleywinks game a major athletic event.

    So, will they finally explain why Ray Epps and others are not in jail?

    I'm not going to hold my breath.

    The Disney channel has more entertaining fiction than pencilneck will ever make. Regardless, I understand why those who hold to the Communist Statement of Faith would insist on viewing this religious service.

    Did I imply there was? No. Do I think the subpoenas will be respected by all involved? Not likely.

    I do think it's fair to say the focus of these subpoenas is the legal team behind the coup attempt.

    I'm speculating based on the actions of other witnesses who have been subpoenaed.

    Of course I don't discount the possibility some of these witnesses may need to plead the 5th to protect themselves.

    Coup attempt? Where? When? Oh... you mean the disorganized, unarmed group of folks that took over ONE BUILDING? A "coup" is designed to take over a government. That can't be done by occupying ONE BUILDING. It takes grabbing control of communications centers, transportation hubs, military facilities, police stations... from coast to coast. Calling this a "coup attempt" is like calling a tiddleywinks game... THE OLYMPICS!

    The entire conspiracy culminating with the 1/6 riot.

    “The four individuals we’ve subpoenaed today advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, or were in direct contact with the former President about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes,” Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.

    Thompson’s statement added, “We expect these individuals to join the nearly 400 witnesses who have spoken with the Select Committee as the committee works to get answers for the American people about the violent attack on our democracy.”

    And why are libs so afraid to talk about election fraud? If there is nothing there... its meaningless. Why does an investigation so frighten the libs? Could there actually BE SOMETHING TO IT?

    Like so many Trump fans who dismiss the attempted coup by narrowly focusing on the events of 1/6 you fail to acknowledge the plot that was worked on prior to the riot.

    “The four individuals we’ve subpoenaed today advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, or were in direct contact with the former President about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes,” Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.

    National Archives On Verge Of Giving Trump Docs To Jan 6 Committee

    The National Archives will give the Jan. 6 Committee its first few documents from the Trump White House this evening, absent a court order.

    Trump has sued to block the archives from releasing documents from the first three tranches of records that archivists have identified as relevant to the committee’s subpoena. Courts have agreed to freeze the release of those tranches, even after Trump has lost the case at the district and appellate court levels, pending his ongoing appeal to the Supreme Court.

    Now, Justice Department officials say in court filings that an additional fourth tranche — containing a whopping four documents — is not covered by the rulings that freeze release of the initial three.

    If a court doesn’t block release by 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, the Department said, the records will be released.

    Supreme Court rejects Trump request to block release of records to January 6 committee

    The Supreme Court late Wednesday afternoon rejected a request by former President Donald Trump to block White House records from being sent to a House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.

    The ruling, which Trump cannot appeal, sets the stage for more than 700 pages of Trump White House records to soon be sent by the National Archives to the select committee.

    Trump in late 2021 lost efforts in Washington, D.C.’s federal district and appeals courts to block the panel from getting those documents, and then asked the Supreme Court to take the case.

    He had argued unsuccessfully in those courts that he had the authority as a former president to invoke executive privilege to prevent disclosure of the records and cited that argument in his application to the Supreme Court.

    Jan 6. Committee Subpoenas White Nationalist Pro-Trump Activists

    The Jan. 6 Committee issued a subpoena on Wednesday to far-right activist Nick Fuentes and one of his associates, the panel announced. Fuentes and his associate Patrick Casey were on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, and also attended pro-Big Lie rallies in D.C. on Nov. 14 and Dec. 12.

    The panel says in the subpoenas that the two were calling “for the destruction of the Republican Party for failing to overturn the election.” Fuentes is an avowed Holocaust denier who has spent time with Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ). He leads a group called the “Groyper Army,” who were also present at the Capitol.

    After Jan. 6, the group splintered between Casey and Fuentes, with members expressing fear over “FBI infiltration.” The panel notes that on Jan. 7, Fuentes tweeted that “The Capitol Siege was ****ing awesome and I’m not going to pretend it wasn’t.”

    You're intentionally focusing on only one part of the coup attempt.

    Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham shared some new details of what ex-President Donald Trump was up to pre-Capitol insurrection with the House Jan. 6 Select Committee during her interview in early January, according to the Guardian.

    Grisham told the committee that Trump held off-the-books meetings at the White House that apparently only a few staffers knew about and were mostly scheduled by then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, the Guardian reports.

    Why would the meetings be "off the books?"

    You may want to do some research on this author trying to sell a book and getting in her 15 microseconds of fame... Stephanie Grisham

    I find the articles by https://www.tech-gate.org more entertaining... it describes what a dirt bag and how low Stephanie Grisham can go... looks like another scam artist at work..

    Trump and Melania railed against Grisham's 'failed personal relationships'
    They responded to the slew of bombshell allegations she's making in her memoir
    They didn't name the significant other, but it appears to be Max Miller

    Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chairs the Jan. 6 committee, on Sunday said that the panel has had conversations with former Attorney General Bill Barr. During an interview on CBS, Thompson was asked whether the committee intends to ask Barr about a draft executive order reportedly handed to former President Trump that would have directed the Defense Secretary to seize voting machines and authorized the appointment of a special counsel to investigate them weeks after the 2020 presidential election.

    Thompson replied that the committee has had conversations with Barr already and that it has also talked to individuals at the Department of Defense.

    “We are concerned that our military was part of this Big Lie on promoting that the election was false. So, if you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it’s a discussion, the public needs to know, we’ve never had that before,” Thompson said. “And so any of these individuals who are participating and trying to stop the election, the duly election of a president, and if we can document it, we will share it with the public.”

    I think it's safe to say previous prez's have not discussed confiscating the voting machines. Just one of the many ways Trump was in uncharted territory.

    The right-wing conspiracy-theorizing broadcaster told his audience on Tuesday that his attorney told him to invoke the Fifth Amendment that many times during his interview with the House Jan. 6 Committee, which took place on Monday.

    • Jones said it was a good thing he didn’t answer all of the committee’s questions because he’s “the type that tries to answer things correctly, even if he doesn’t “know all the answers.”
    • But Jones apparently didn’t out-5A former Trump legal adviser John Eastman, who pleaded the Fifth 146 times during his interview with the panel, an attorney working for the committee revealed on Monday.

    Al invoked Don's favorite excuse for refusing to answer questions under oath. The perjury trap. Translation; telling the truth is bad for him.
