Schiff warned that the committee was “not fooling around.”

That will show Bannon.

Honestly, I think he’s always drunk and unaware of anything outside his own head.

Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) told CNN last week that Meadows and Patel are “engaging” with the panel.

Actually, last night on Maddow, Chairman Schiff indicated that Scavino is also cooperating.

Just piling on here, but I don’t want to hear any more from the 1/6 committee about how they’re such bad-asses and anyone defying a subpoena will regret it.

Enough. Do it or quit talking about it. We want action not words now.

The committee doesn’t–and shouldn’t–care what “we” want.

Ex-prosecutor Schiff and cohort are going to gut Steve Bannon like a particularly loathsome fish.

No, it ain’t. Schiff “oughta” do exactly what he & Committee are doing.

Nah, he’s just refusing now because Trump gave him some temporary cover with the privilege claim. He’s not in any real jeopardy unless he continues to refuse after that’s shot down in court.

At some point I expect Bannon to send a letter to the committee saying he’ll show up and plead the 5th to every question, so do they really want to continue? Then the committee will either drop it, or go ahead with the clown show. They’re not going to get any answers either way, and Bannon can avoid a Contempt of Congress charge by pleading the 5th.
