Five Sitting US House Members Subpoenaed By January 6th Committee

[Stann]

LOL now with out a trial or any specific charges you get to decide who is a criminal? Pelosi does? That means the next speaker does too.

www.npr.org House approves select committee to probe Jan 6th. Insurrection ( after Senate Republicans blocked plans for an outside commission. ) I rest my case.

 

[jotathought]

Plus how unremarkably Ironic.That the one in charge of making sure
there was sufficient Security on January 6th at the Capitol
Or Nancy Pelosi made it possible to eliminate any query in her role
as The Most ranking Member of Congress who determines Security
at the People's House.Her name and any documentation as to what her
role was was Deemed Unnecessary.When we have it on paper and
written correspondence that President Trump personally offered and
advised that 10,ooo or more National Guard be available and on hand.
Pelosi blew off that Presidential Request.
I mean,what else can be said about an OBVIOUS Fake and
One-sided Commission.More like something Franz Kafka would
pen a novel about.

Fortunately, there was a key case adjudicated which will end up setting the precedent for many of those in the capitol on January 6th .. which is exactly what we should expect.

 

[Foolardi]

Or refuse to show up, or take the fifth on every question. Why change the Republican way.

You meanie like Obama's IRS supervisor { Lois Lerner } who
did show up to make sure and take the 5th.HOWEVER somehow
was allowed to give a written statement { while seated } before
using her 5th priviledge.The lesson,even when a Dimocrat does
take the 5th they manage to Cheat in the process.

 

[playtime]

Hopefully the new republican House speaker does to the democrats what they did to them, make a committee and then CHOOSE which democrats can sit on it.

ummmm..... first of all - that IS how it works. but the fact is - mcspineless nor any (R) will become speaker after the midterms or in 2024.

 

[playtime]

The only ones " outraged " are the usual suspects.
Or Leftists.Who live to Lie,castigate their betters and
both play the constant Blame Game while their main
goal in life is to be an aggresive agitator.There is no doubting
that characterization.It goes well beyond simple terms like
Community Organizer.How Obama was mildly classified when
running in 2008.Where in 2007 Michele Obama explained her hubby
as a ' Community Activist '. Helping to train impressionable ACORN activists
in the methods of Protest and targetting.
Joe Biden automatically moving to the head of that class of
Political ingrates.

you feel better having gotten all that outa yer system?

 

[playtime]

That may be a mistake but also is deserved.These dishard poilitcal
turds on the Left who sing the praises of the Drat Democrats
must pay a political price at the ballot box.The American way.
Not via Lies and propaganda but the God's Honest Truth.
Proving the reality that the Left does not value Truth.
It's like Holy water to Dracula.

lol, i'm not a (D), dumbass.

Wrong on every count

& the speaker can overrule if she or he chooses.

Standing, Select, and Joint Committees Distinguished

House committees are of three distinct types: (1) standing
committees, whose members are elected by the House, (2) select
committees (also called special committees), whose members are appointed by the Speaker, and (3) joint committees, whose members are chosen according to the provisions of the statute or concurrent
resolution creating them. Variations of these three categories are
discussed in later sections.
House Practice: A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House - Chapter 11. Committees

Fast Facts​

1. Select committees are created by a resolution to conduct investigations or consider measures, usually on a specific topic, and are not renewed on a permanent basis.

• Chairs
  Traditionally, though not exclusively, committee chairs have been selected by seniority, so that the longest-serving Members of the committee from the majority and minority parties become the chair and ranking member, respectively, of the committee.

• Size
  The size of each committee is determined at the beginning of each Congress by House leaders who set the number of committees and subcommittees, their size, and the ratio of majority to minority members on each panel.

House Committees | US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives

The individual parties DECIDE who sits on committee not the speaker. It is the rules of the House and have been in effect the ENTIRE time the Congress has existed.

the speaker has final say, PER THE RULES. pelosi gave kevin mcspineless the opportunity to select his members, have an EQUAL amount of members, with EQUAL subpoena power as well for a commission, but he turned it down. how stupid was that? so pelosi had a select committee formed & ol' kevin wanted to seat those that are implicated for what? inside knowledge AND to make it a circus. nancy pelosi wasn't gonna have any of that.

It further is actually common sense.

lol...

Your plan has the party in power deciding who sits on committee and decides things for the entire house.

you didn't know how all that works. donny loves the poorly educated long time.

If you are to BLIND to see the problem with that NO ONE can help you.

^^^ irony at its best. ^^^

 

[playtime]

LOL right, we should have a rubber stamp on every committee and only the ruling party decides who sits on each committee.

DUH.

learn yer history.

nancy pelosi is not in charge of capital security, NOR is the jan. 6 SELECT COMMITTEE - a commission. learn the differance.

 

[Sunsettommy]

Never heard of an inside job?

Still no evidence thank you for admitting it.

 

[Foolardi]

And you want to play the blame game and blame Biden and the Democrats for all this.

The Blame Game is the Democrats Party's calling card.
Most americans with even half a brain tied behind their back
know dat.Virtually no need for further explanation.
The Evil Buffalo masscre mass shooting is being Blame Gamed
on the GOP. Something about { Replacement Theory }.
Stay Informed.Stay awake.

A Speaker of the House is the head person in charge of the
People's House.Surpassing even a Potus.I'm not surprised that
comes as news ta Yuz.A Speaker uses the Capitols Sergeant at Arms
for Security BUT that Sergeant at Arms reports to The Speaker
of the House and the GOP leader { Mitch McConnell }
McConnell and Pelosi Asked and accepted the Resignation of
that Sergeant at Arms shortly after January 6th.
The Capitol Police Chief { Steven Sund } also resigned.
Pelosi is not releasing any communique of hers regarding
Security at the Capitol.

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT​

• Capitol security is not solely the responsibility of the House speaker. It is provided by the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate, and by the Capitol Police.
• The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the House speaker, or Pelosi at the time of the attack. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader — on Jan. 6, Sen. Mitch McConnell.
• News reports indicate that in the days before the attack, House sergeant-at-arms Paul Irving resisted calls from the Capitol Police to bring in the National Guard for extra security at the Capitol because of “optics.” Irving later testified that intelligence reports didn’t show the need for the extra security, not that he rejected it because of optics.

Rep. Jim Jordan’s false claim that Pelosi denied a request for National Guard troops​

March 1, 2021|Updated March 5, 2021 at 1:27 p.m. EST

“Capitol Police requested National Guard help prior to January 6th. That request was denied by Speaker Pelosi and her Sergeant at Arms.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), in a tweet, Feb. 15, 2021

The Facts​

There are three key players here: Steven A. Sund, the U.S. Capitol Police chief; Paul D. Irving, the House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms. All three resigned under pressure after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
ree key players here: Steven A. Sund, the U.S. Capitol Police chief; Paul D. Irving, the House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms. All three resigned under pressure after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

In a Feb. 1 letter to Pelosi, Sund wrote he “approached the two Sergeants at Arms to request the assistance of the National Guard, as I had no authority to do so without an Emergency Declaration by the Capitol Police Board (CPB).” He said he spoke first to Irving, who “stated that he was concerned about the ‘optics’ and didn’t feel that the intelligence supported it.” Irving suggested Sund check in with Stenger, at the time chair of the CPB and get his thoughts. “Instead of approving the use of the National Guard, however, Mr. Stenger suggested I ask them how quickly we could get support if needed and to ‘lean forward’ in case we had to request assistance on January 6,” Sund wrote.
Sund said he then contacted Gen. William Walker, commanding officer of the D.C. National Guard. Walker “advised that he could repurpose 125 National Guard and have them to me fairly quickly, once approved. I asked General Walker to be prepared in the event that we requested them.”

And you want to play the blame game and blame Biden and the Democrats for all this.

Hey dumbfuck, it’s their policies that led to all these problems. Period. End of argument.

When Republicans win the House you leave here for good. Enjoy the Republican landslide.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Remember last year when House GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy suddenly turned against the bipartisan Jan. 6 commission he had deputized one of his own members to negotiate?

Right. Now McCarthy is among five sitting Republican House members who have been subpoenaed by the select committee investigating Jan. 6:

1. Kevin McCarthy of California
2. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
3. Jim Jordan of Ohio
4. Andy Biggs of Arizona
5. Mo Brooks of Alabama

These represent the first publicly known sitting members of Congress to be subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 panel in what is an unprecedented move.

I was wondering how long it was going to take to get to the main criminals. That is all these five are. Common criminals.

Sure. But five most likely to ignore subpoenas from a 'committee' they feel is a 'political witch hunt'. These are the scoundrels the committee is dealing with.
