GOP Representative Matt Gaetz revealed a plan to fight back against Special Counsel Jack Smith after his latest charges against Trump.
..... Snip.....
“First, House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview before the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days,” Gaetz said on Newsmax. “If he does not do that, we should send a subpoena. If he ignores the subpoena, we should hold him in criminal contempt of Congress….”
“We can utilize Congressional immunities to immunize President Trump. 18 U.S. Code § 6002 – 3 – gives any Committee or Subcommittee of the Congress the ability to subpoena a witness, bring them in, and functionally immunize them,” Gaetz said.

Step 1: "House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview before the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days."
Step 2: "We can utilize Congressional immunities to immunize President Trump."

That boy Smith needs a swift kick in the arse.
He needs more than just that.
Repukes do SOMETHING. If you can do this, do it tomorrow. Sheesh. They just talk(not blaming gates here)
It’s a clever idea. But would the Republicans do it in sufficient numbers? I doubt it.
The Republicans are a joke with Mitch McConnell leading them.
I’m not sure of the specifics of his proposal, but in general, a witness can receive “use immunity” for testimony in front of Congress. That means that the DoJ cannot use anything the witness says or any evidence they develop based on the witness testimony to prosecute the witness. The problem in this case is that by the time an indictment is handed down, the prosecutor has already got the evidence they need. A witness receiving use immunity does not make the evidence developed before the testimony or through sources other than the testimony invalid or inadmissible.
I think it’s more likely that l can pick up my car and throw across the street than the Republicans actually doing this.
Interesting!
Ummmmm...since when is Mitch McConnell leading the whole Republican Party?
I find it frustrating that when Republicans investigate shitocrats it takes years; but shitocrats can levy charges in weeks or days.
This word leader doesn’t mean what you think it means.
What is a word leader?
If McCarthy will let them.
Nitpicking, I know, but I hate the word “utilize.” “Use” works just fine. Sincerely, Strunk & White.
That’s funny.
Maybe he likes the word utilize.
Well, it’s utilized to death anymore, so why not?
It sounds great nominally but, not sure it operatively going to work
