Jan. 6 Panel Subpoenas Stop The Steal Organizers For Their Communications With White House | Talking Points Memo

In its latest round of witness subpoenas, the Jan. 6 Committee is focusing on the organizers of the Stop the Steal rally that took place on the White House ellipse.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1389108

The panel issued subpoenas on Wednesday to twelve different people, including multiple organizers of the rally.

Such sillies on the committee. No one organized the rally, obviously. It was just pure happenstance that people toted their long guns from a thousand miles around and all arrived on that same day. With a gallows.

A breakdown here of how the House can enforce its subpoeanae, now that the rest of the government is in the hands of parties with co-aligned interests: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/29/jan-6-committee-subpoenas-514578

Civil and Criminal Contempt
“Use” Immunity
Outside pressure
Joe Biden
Inherent Contempt

ETA: obviously, the supreme court is not co-aligned, and will attempt to make moot with delay any subpoenae coming before them. Congressional subpoenae expire with end of the two year term.

Are you suggesting the Justice Dept may not try to impede the investigations?

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect a presidential pardon.

But but but they were tourists on a D.C. vacation in January. All of them just happened to be at the same place at the same time and had the same idea all at once. Like, hey let’s go storm the Capitol -just a typical ordinary touristy thing to do. No planning at all./s

Malheur was so awful. Ammon Bundy has disappeared into the vapors since his last attempt at freedom from masks fighting. Wonder if he’s holed up somewhere with Covid. Idaho is a mess with it and sending patients to WA state due to lack of staffed ICU beds.

Malheur did not have a “manager of logistics and communications” like Ms Hannah Salem Stone’s Company “Salem Strategies LLC”

I’m sorry, but this is fucking stupid. It’s nearly October. Putin’s greasy fat butt boy literally told a bunch of unwashed losers to go kick some ass at the capitol and the world saw America’s 2nd insurrection. Now they’re calling the fucking clowns who organized this shit show to ask, did you coordinate with the WH? Here’s what the answers will be -

  • No
  • I have no idea
  • What riot?
  • I just sent out some emails
  • I know nothing, NOTHING!!
  • We had no idea this would happen

Jesus fucking Christ. The Republicans are fascist scumbags, but the Democrats are such fucking useless bed wetters. STOP BRINGING A DILDO TO A GUN FIGHT, YOU MORONS.

Now this is going to be very interesting! Can’t wait to see how they will respond to these subpoenas. Will they huddle up to contaminated Donnie Dough Boy with cheese dust?
