Five Sitting US House Members Subpoenaed By January 6th Committee

These represent the first publicly known sitting members of Congress to be subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 panel in what is an unprecedented move.
Just curious... will you be as supportive next year when Republicans are running the committees and subpoenaing Dems? I'm thinking they will fight against appearing or even surrendering video or documentary evidence of THEIR actions leading up to 1/6.

Nancy and her Capitol popo were asked to provide security and they refused. They refused even to allow Trump's request for the NG to be present. Oh yeah, ALL OF THAT is going to be publicly investigated and confirmed before the country. Soooo... will you believe they share some of the "guilt"? There is even a chance that the FBI will be busted for their actions in helping to instigate this event. BTW, it won't matter at all if you choose to deny it. It's going to be presented and put on the congressional record so that Independents will have a chance to see what your thugs did to help 1/6 occur as a way to stir a conspiracy against the Rs.
 
The country is being driven into the ground by Poopeypants and you idiots are still fascinated with 2 Januarys ago. What total idiots and deflection!
It's all they have and when it crumbles next year and THEIR heroes are shown to have instigated it all, their world is going to be rocked! That will occur at roughly the same time Trump announces his run for '24. Boo Yah!
 

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​

“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.

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.”

We have the Letter that Trump wrote to Speaker Pelosi and was
handed off to the Washington D.C. Mayor.A White House aide during
Trumps Presidency had a copy of the letter as he was friendly with
Trump and acted on behalf of the White House in clearing up any misconception
regarding Trump and his Letter for Pelosi days before January 6th requesting
10,ooo or more National Guard.
That friendly White House aide was Kash Patel { Chief of Staff to
Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense} who appeared on Hannity
months ago clearing up this issue regarding Trump's written
request to Pelosi that was handed to Muriel Bowser for Pelosi.
The disgraced Lying MSM was making up stories about Trump's
Request.It was Kosher.
Both Pelosi and McConnell were negligent in making sure
enough security was available for January 6th.
 
Have they gotten around to questioning Ray Epps yet?
Or how about Little Antifa/BLM hashtag Protestor
*John Sullivan. There were agent provocateurs on site outside
the Capitol Bldg before any Crowd showed up.

There was just a few Video scans of the storming into
the Capitol that were allowed from day one.In one of those
Videos there can be seen Ashli Babbett in the thick of the crowd
getting pushed forward as she got Shot in the head.
Little Protestor John Sullivan was also captured in that video
off to the side.He was never jailed.Just questioned.he used as excuse
that he was there to professionally cover the storming once it
broke out.
 
Embarrassed to be a D eh ? lol.

It's alright, no one really cares, but it is that your undying loyalty definitely says otherwise.

i am an indie - always have been & that is just plain fact. yep - i voted for (D)s AND (R)s AND even green party as a protest vote. so save it, jr.

Figure at center of pro-Trump Jan. 6 theories to speak with select committee Friday​

Ray Epps met informally with the panel in November and told them he had no relationship with the FBI.

Ray Epps, the former Arizona Oath Keeper at the center of pro-Trump conspiracy theories related to Jan. 6., intends to sit for a transcribed interview Friday with the select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol, his attorney said in a phone interview.

Epps, who has become the centerpiece of an unsupported GOP claim that the FBI incited the mob that ransacked the Capitol last year, met with the Jan. 6 select committee in November and told them he had no relationship to the FBI or any other federal law enforcement agency. But the meeting was just a precursor to a more-formal transcribed interview this week, said Epps’ lawyer John Blischak.

donny lied & said he offered 10K national guard - & pelosi 'refused' it.

the only NG deployed b4 the insurrection were given traffic control detail - with NO helmets/shield etc. per the orders of chris miller - the DOD sec. installed only a few days after the election when esper was booted. esper has probably had a nice little sit down with the select committee & gave all kindsa inside info. they have spoken to at least 250 people, i'm betting he was one of 'em. AND bill barr as well - who finally showed he had a red line he would not cross, & the insurrection was it.

it was mike pence who ordered the guard to get in there - which was hours after the mob started with their violence.

howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... it has come to light that mark meadows - who is in such deep doo doo gave over a power point presentation in his possession, that the NG were to be instructed to

DC Guard chief details Pentagon delays during Jan. 6 riot at Capitol

Walker calls restrictions on his ability to deploy his force ‘unusual’​

Scores of District of Columbia National Guardsmen loaded on buses at the Washington Armory and were ready to deploy as pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, but minutes turned into hours as they awaited permission from the Pentagon to move out.

Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commander of the D.C. National Guard, told lawmakers Wednesday that written instructions issued ahead of the insurrection from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy limited his ability to deploy his troops where, as a commander, he felt they were needed.

On Jan. 6, Walker and top officials from the U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department pleaded for permission to send the National Guard to help secure the Capitol during a phone call around 2:22 p.m. with defense officials. But Walker said he didn’t receive the go-ahead to send his troops to the Capitol until just after 5 p.m.

Because the District of Columbia is not a state and thus does not have a governor, the president is the commander in chief of the D.C. National Guard. The chain of command runs down to the Defense secretary and the Army secretary.

‘Unusual’ restrictions​

McCarthy’s written instructions from Jan. 5 required Walker to seek specific permission to deploy a 40-member quick reaction team. McCarthy also required Walker to send him a “concept of operation” before that team could be used.

“Based on the Defense Department’s public timeline, once requested, it took the National Guard over three hours to arrive at the Capitol. Now remember, we were all watching this on CNN, and Fox and MSNBC, and it’s a riot,” the Ohio Republican said. “We need to know why the Pentagon took so long to deploy the National Guard.”

DOJ asks Jan. 6 committee for its transcripts: report

BY REBECCA BEITSCH - 05/17/22 5:30 PM ET
SHARETWEET

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked the Jan. 6 House committee to turn over some transcripts of depositions it has conducted as part of its investigation into the attack on the Capitol, according to Tuesday reporting from The New York Times.
According to the Times, Kenneth Polite Jr., the assistant attorney general for the criminal division, and Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, wrote to the panel’s investigative lead on April 20, saying the committee has conducted interviews that “may contain information relevant to a criminal investigation we are conducting.”
The development comes as the committee members have become more vocal in their frustration over a lack of action from the Justice Department in targeting high-ranking Trump-era officials in their own investigation.
While the DOJ has brought charges against at least 800 people involved with the attack, it’s only recently brought them against leadership of the far-right Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy, a weighty charge that can carry up to 20 years in prison.
The Jan. 6 committee, meanwhile, has spoken with high-ranking White House officials and others in the Trump administration in the course of conducting more than 1,000 interviews.

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.

pffft........... THIS is TDS:
No, TDS is having your failed choice of a party left with absolutely no claimable accomplishments, resorting to using Trump ( out of office for 18 months ) to attempt to fire up their base to prevent, most likely, a tragic loss in both houses.
Oh, and a last minute 'leak' at SCOTUS, to preemptively attempt to fire up its base in a lame attempt tp stave off a massacre.
Go check the polling......the bridge is out.

And an exclusive LOL from the Delldude over your being an Indie......smells like a disgruntled democrat.

Or what, you impotent worm? Fuck your indignance. Fuck your entitlement. Fuck your whole magaturd world view. It ain't happening, and you can't do anything about it right now.

Fuck yer butthurt, snowflake ❄️. :auiqs.jpg:
Keep throwing your tantrum you fucking impotent little clown. You’re nothing but a no education, basement dwelling piece of shit who throws threats out on a daily basis (nobody is afraid of you asshole). While the drunk POS playtime encourages your tantrum. By the way asswipe, I’m laughing at your threats toward me. You’d run away if anybody even took a step toward you. Just like every other Dem rioter.
