Jan 6 committee votes to subpoena Donald Trump

You know, YOU should be hating what Trump did too.
If you love your Constitution and believe public promises at inauguration should be honoured, you should be livid about what he did. And don't try to tell me hundreds of secret service messages plus those between terrorists already found guilty of crimes against the state are one huge conspiracy theory.

 

True Dat!!

I'm 100% fine with this vote, but it really should have happened a year ago and it should have followed a Pence subpoena, who would have been a much more interesting, relevant, and forthright, witness..

Oh well... this is truly no biggie... I much more enjoyed the 1 paragraph denial from the SCOTUS on T****'s latest time wasting effort...

 

And if you loved the constitution, you would hate what the left did to try and overturn the 2016 elections. Using the FBI as a weapon against a political foe. Illegally wiretapping a political opponent. Openly colluding with Russia to create a fabricated dossier to try and persecute a sitting president. Covering up the Hunter Biden story to ensure the 2020 elections. The list is staggering, yet the left ignores it as long as they can find a way... anyway to persecute Trump. That is what is truly sad.

 

This is the bottom line for me. We've read countless complaints that the 1/6 committee was too one sided. Now, Trump has the chance to defend himself or say what he wants about his involvement. I don't understand why this doesn't appease his supporters - they should be THRILLED that FINALLY someone who isn't corrupt or a never Trumper will 'tell the truth' about the day in question.

 

The committee was not formed to get to the truth and any testimony from Trump should have been requested many months ago.

That being said, we now know that Pelosi lied about her security leadership role and still refuses to release her e-mails and communication logs.
Pelosi's daughter just happened to be on site with a film crew to do what exactly?

This last hearing confirmed that Pelosi was in charge of the security detail and that she was the administrator who gave the "Shot to Kill" orders.
The Ashley Babbitt head shot was a direct result of Pelosi's security orders.

No wonder that Michael Stenger mysteriously died the very day before he was scheduled to testify.

Perhaps the Republicans can pick up on this farce and have Pelosi testify along with prompting a subpoena for her communication records.

 

So? You mad, bro?

 

No. Your "facts" are made up, and your grasp of the law non-existent.

 

I don't need to. I already know that Trump's lawyers were never allowed to interview, nor cross examine a single witness.

 

Give us an example.

 

Suuuuure it is...lol

 

He had the chance to defend himself on day 1 the committee was formed... Hundreds of people came forward voluntarily to tell their stories without a subpoena... Of course, most of those people didn't initiate sedition, so they have that going for themselves...

Zero chance this is even on his extremely limited radar...

While we have this thread after the probable final 1/6 hearing, I'd like to give this committee a nice review (are they on Yelp?)

Watching most committee hearings in Washington is like watching the Paint Drying channel, but every one of these hearings was watchable, and most were very interesting. Sure, some were better than others and some panel members are more engaging than others, but all in all, a great BIPARTISAN effort in a decaying institution.



And one final time, a salute to Kevin McCarthy for being too stupid to remember his primary directive - throwing sand in the gears, allowing this to happen as it did.

No. He's informed.

 

Lawyers protecting the rights of the interviewees were always there.
Anyway I am not really interested in what you think the process was called.
If Trump wants his day in court hee can have it.
If he doesn't, he is a damned coward who feels no accountability to those loyal to him. Including you.
This is not a game. People died. The place was drowning in arms with more stashed elsewhere.
N Your ex POTUS ignored your precious Constitution.

THIS WAS THE EXACT MOMENT YOU SO FEAR and why you defend carrying gun...

TO PREVENT THE TAKEOVER OF YOUR COUNTRY.
How deeply ironic that they were being used to facilitate that takeover.

 

He's always had the chance to "defend" himself. He's chosen not to do so.

If he shows up at all in response to the subpoena, his only response will be "I plead the 5th".

 

This thread?

The claim you continually make about Trump being "tried"

Each and every claim in which you claim to know the Constitution

The absurdity of you pretending to be some sort of "expert" about the 1/6 committee in spite of never watching its proceedings.

 

And yet, there isn't a single firearms charge in the literally hundreds of charges of the DOJ. The one primary example being the Oath Keepers, but even that one was a conspiracy to circumvent the city/town limits, and the firearms never actually reached the capitol proper in their scheme instead stashed away on a truck.

 

He won't show (ergo he won't plead the 5th) and he won't be referred for contempt, because the DOJ already has enough T**** material for several indictments... This wouldn't make the top 5.

Frankly, I doubt the committee would even want to waste the time of listening to him plead the 5th.

This was strictly for the historical record that the seditionist refused to appear. I do agree with all the MAGA's that this should have been done last year (or early this year) and throw in my own thought that this needed to follow a Pence subpoena..

My favorite part of the subpoena was Kinzinger voting "Aye" by answering "Kinzinger Aye".... Somebody's done some time in the military...

 

And yet, that's incorrect

Lawyers are actually avoiding Trump, due to his immaturity and his unwillingness to pay his legal bills. From day one, Trump is his own worst enemy, and now he is paying the price for his transgressions.

 

If you are that sloppy in your specious comparisons, what credibility do you have in the rest of your comment? None, I'd say.

You conclusion appears to be pulled out of thin air. . Now then, This doesn't square with reality. I watched the hearings, I heard the testimonies of the Trump staff, I saw the emails, texts, and documents, and drawing conclusions from those facts is well within the bounds of logic and reason.

Trump has plenty of opportunity to tell his side of the story, under oath, let's see if he will take it. Many members of his immediate staff and allies, including but not limited to Eric Trump, Roger Stone, John Eastman, Michael Flynn, Jeffrey Clark and Alex Jones, have appeared before the committee with plenty of opportunity to respond, under oath, but what did they say, under oath? They pled the 5th for every questions answered.

Will Trump speak under oath? No, He'll send a rant letter, which isn't under oath, which, therefore, must be dismissed.

They can pled the 5th at the hearing, because the committee won't fight it, though they could. However, that won't be the case if Trump is indicted, for those who were pardoned, in my humble, non lawyer opinion.

 

It's just an expression, noone believes it's like a pleading after a conviction.

 

---and he doesn't listen to his lawyers and continues to indict himself in the media.

 

Whatever. Hunter never held office, so who cares, not ot mention no evidence has been provided, for any claims against Joe Biden, not to mention Joe Biden didn't instigate an attack on the capitol, but, of course, you don't give a damn about that.

 

Oh, I dunno, maybe sedition, espionage, obstruction, things like that.
