The Jan. 6 Committee plans to vote to subpoena Trump during today's hearing

[Chillicothe]

UPDATED: The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 coup attempt has voted to subpoena Donald J. Trump to give testimony and produce documents relating to the January 6, 2021 coup attempt instigated and abetted by Trump and his allies. “Every American is entitled to these answers,” Rep. Liz Cheney said before the vote. The vote was unanimous.

My avatar, for one, thinks it is a good tactical move by the Committee. I expect that they know full well he'll play dodge'em on actually showing up. They know that.
However, what it does do is sets the marker of" "Look, we gave him a golden opportunity to come before the Committee and the American people and tell his side of the story."

Which, strive as they might, the Committee has struggled to get ALL of the players-in-the-know to come and 'tell-their-side'.
As we heard today over 50 people-in-the-know have plead the 5th Amendment right to not make statements that could incriminate them criminally.
So those 50+ didn't want to tell what they knew, or what they did. (for example, John Eastman plead the 5th...146 times. Roger Stone plead the 5th to every question. Jeffrey Clark plead the 5th to every question. Michael Flynn plead the 5th to every question from the J6 Committee. Alex Jones plead the 5th "almost 100 times.") Peter Navarro and Mark Meadows are fighting the subpoenas to testify.

Look, these folks know their side of the story better than anyone else.
Yet, they refuse to give their side of the story.....perhaps thinking that their side of the story will incriminate them in criminal activity?

"US law allows a defendant the right to cross examine witnesses and testimony. This show cluster fuck has denied Trump his rights."

Ummm, poster BillyBob, I believe you mean well and are sincere in your fanboying of DonT.
However, these proceedings that you have faithfully followed....don't have 'defendants'.
Only witnesses.
It's a 'hearing' .... not a trial. Not an indictment.

Look, it is like this: The Committee is charged with investigating what happened so they can better understand the details and the nuances so they can recommend to the House of Representatives as a whole their advice on best-practices methods to avoid another violent attack on our legislators at the Capitol of the United States.

That is their charge.
Discover what happened.
So that new or better laws can be crafted as a preventative.
I'm sure you can understand the utility of such an effort.

There is no need for your defensiveness over DonT. He is only being asked with this subpoena to come before the Committee and share with them his side of the story.

I hope that helps mitigate your angst.

Their lemmings will eat it up!

True, but most of the nation is looking the end of funds with a lot of month left, and how Xi's Biden regime is the cause of their pain.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

You cannot conspire to overthrow the US government! That is illegal.

Nows not a good time to bring up the impeachment show trials.

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

We all saw Trump tell his homes to go to the Capital and raise he'll. What planet are you on?

Why do you think Nancy and Chucky edited the video and cut out the part where he says Peacfuly protest?

 

[Cougarbear]

Try to keep up ok.

Trump just lost a judgement that said his attorneys can no longer stall and avoid him having to testify under oath regarding a defemation lawsuit filed by a woman he raped in the 1990's.

He has to go sit on Sunday and give sworn testimony on the allegations.

Now, one could try to say "innocent until proven guilry" or throw out the words "allegedly raped".....but COME ON!

"Innocent people don't pay attorneys milluons of dollars with allegations like these hanging over rheir heads, trying to keep the case out of court.

GUILTY people do.

Plus....we've already got rhe dumbass on recording bragging about his sexual assaults.

CHECKMATE!

Donald Trump's deposition is the October surprise no one was expecting

The former president will be made to answer questions on Sunday, regarding allegations he raped a woman in the 1990s, just weeks before the midterm elections.

Defamation is not rape. And, as we saw in the Kavanaugh hearings, the Democrats and opportunists will try to get money from anyone they can by lying. So, it's why a person is not guilty until proven guilty. Some accusation from an opportunist isn't a reason for guilt. So, where's the proof of rape? DNA? Anything? A hearing by the loonies in Congress is going to find proof? And, what does January 6th and this case have to do with each other? Nothing.

Yes! This is a very serious committee that strives to get to the truth and better America going forward.

Why do you think they edited Peacefully protest out of the Trump video and distorted the truth?

 

[Uncensored2008]

What a staged farce.

You've convinced me, the whole fucking Reichstag Fire was a fraud orchestrated by the Nazi party.

You ignore administrative law which binds these hearings. They have failed to follow Administrative Law and the Rules of the House of Representatives. Funny that you run right past those to get where you want to go... Blaming Trump... IT shows your pure partisan BS for what it is...

 

[Mac1958]

I'm not usually one to pay attention to individual, specific polls, but...

The committee is performing a service by getting this stuff on the public record, and I'm glad they're doing it.

But it's not making a difference. It's doesn't appear to be changing minds or making a dent one way or the other.

I hope they allow him to talk. They may change their mind when he starts to blame Pelosi for rejecting the National Guard that was offered days before.

 

[Clipper]

The witch hunt is about to fail on epic levels. Lizard Cheney is an embarrassment.

Twenty years in a Super Max is too good for Trump.

I thought the Jan 6 Clown Show got canceled for lack of ratings.

That's what you get for thinking.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Since when does a committee have subpoena powers?

 

[BS Filter]

Twenty years in a Super Max is too good for Trump.

Which would you rather see. Trump in jail for 20 years or the border secured, inflation controlled, world peace, and all the homeless housed?

 

[Clipper]

number of phone calls to check in on Officer Michael Fanone, who was physically injured & got PTSD & had to retire because of Jan 6

Pelosi: 300, including one face time at 3 AM
Trump: 0

Fanone also had drinks with Reps Swalwell (D) and Kinzinger (R)

Liz Cheney took him out to dinner, & Joan Baez honored him along with Dr Anthony Fauci

And Trump was paid a visit from the FBI.

One has nothing to do with the other. Your question is rediculous on it's face.

If joke 6 was taken seriously by Americans, these committee meetings wouldn't be nessasry.

If Traitor Trump had conceded his defeat, none of this would be necessary.

This committee is also ridiculous, yet, here we are.

You're an idiot, he said peacefully let your voices be heard.

And yet he not only sat on his ass jerking off for over three hours as the riot raged and people died, he incited the crowd even more with a tweet about Pence.
