Bullsit it’s not a court of law.

I’ll post this one last time for the short bus folks.

Section 1512 of Title 18 constitutes a broad prohibition against tampering with a witness, victim or informant. It proscribes conduct intended to illegitimately affect the presentation of evidence in Federal proceedings or the communication of information to Federal law enforcement officers. It applies to proceedings before Congress, executive departments, and administrative agencies, and to civil and criminal judicial proceedings, including grand jury proceedings. See 18 U.S.C. § 1515(a)(1). In addition, the section provides extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction over the offenses created therein. See 18 U.S.C. § 1512(g); 128 Cong. Rec. H8469 (daily ed. Oct. 1, 1980); H. R. Rep. No. 1369, 96th Cong., 2d Sess. 20-22 (1980).

Trump Tries To Call Witness To Jan 6th Hearings

Which is a potential crime yet conservatives are too blind, partisan, dishonest, and ignorant to acknowledge that fact.

Aside from you making fun of the mentally handicapped (short bus), what I said is true. This 'select committee' is not a court of law. They cannot prove anything because there is no judge, jury or representation for the accused. There is no cross examination and no deliberation either.

They absolutely can, to the american public, who will decide the next President. Well, as long as the GOPers aren't allowed to cheat and send fake electors.

She wanted McCarthy to play her game. Yes, she offered seats but democrats would have total control of the content, had veto power over anything McCarthy's people would want to do, and also had total and complete control over what testimony would see the light of day and what testimony would be buried. It was never going to be a fair and balanced investigation.

She’s the Speaker. dope! It’s the Dems committee as they are the majority. It’s only her game. She rightly offered McCarthy equal representation. Two of his five picks were rejected per her right under the rules as Speaker. She allowed replacements but McCarthy instead balked and pulled out. Blame him and his poor leadership for what the committee is.

The Speaker alone has discretion over select committee assignments.

Again. Last time for the short bus folks.

Committee appointment
11. The Speaker shall appoint all se- lect, joint, and conference committees ordered by the House. At any time after an original appointment, the Speaker may remove Members, Dele- gates, or the Resident Commissioner from, or appoint additional Members, Delegates, or the Resident Commis- sioner to, a select or conference com- mittee. In appointing Members, Dele- gates, or the Resident Commissioner to conference committees, the Speaker shall appoint no less than a majority who generally supported the House po- sition as determined by the Speaker, shall name those who are primarily re- sponsible for the legislation, and shall, to the fullest extent feasible, include the principal proponents of the major provisions of the bill or resolution passed or adopted by the House.

in an unprecedented move she rejected the gop choices

It was an unprecedented move for the minority to nominate two material witnesses to the very matter under investigation.

Which makes no relevant point whatsoever relative to potential witness tampering which is a federal crime. Even during proceedings before Congress.

haha if they were material way haven’t they been called to testify in a public hearing?

It's a serious felony.

The justice system takes crimes like witness tampering and perjury very seriously. They strike at the foundation of our justice system.

Trumpers call these things "hobbies" and "virtues", when it comes to their cult high priests.

I honestly don't think they understand how serious those crimes are and are taken by prosecutors and judges.

there was no witness tampering

 

[bripat9643]

Yeah, that would pretty much be witness tampering in Normal World.

That would only happen in a real courtroom, not in a show trial.

Congress isn't part of the justice system, nimrod.

Well you have to prove witness tampering to convict.....IN A COURT OF LAW!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Congress isn't part of the justice system,

Right, the prosecutors and judges who would bring and hear charges on these crimes are. Aww, you just caught up to a 10th grader! I am so proud of you.

[Nostra]

The witnesses are all Trump people, dope.
Are the Dems making them lie?

And exactly what have they revealed that wasn't already public knowledge and/or a crime by Trump?

Be specific and bring links to actual testimony, not what was leaked by Dimtard members of the Shit Show.
