Congress's 1/6 Committee Claims Absolute Power as it Investigates Citizens With No Judicial Limits
Substack ^ | January 20, 2022 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 02/01/2022 3:58:36 PM PST by John S Mosby

Lead in: The Committee plotted with JPMorgan and its lawyer, former Obama AG Loretta Lynch, to obtain a citizen's financial records with no possibility of judicial review.

.....In its ongoing attempt to investigate and gather information about private U.S. citizens, the Congressional 1/6 Committee is claiming virtually absolute powers that not even the FBI or other law enforcement agencies enjoy. Indeed, lawyers for the committee have been explicitly arguing that nothing proscribes or limits their authority to obtain data regarding whichever citizens they target and, even more radically, that the checks imposed on the FBI (such as the requirement to obtain judicial authorization for secret subpoenas) do not apply to the committee.

JPMorgan Bank's Attorney is Loretta Lynch... former head over the Federal Bureau of... Matters. Comey Rosenstein,Brennan, Clapper,... and don't forget McCabe.

Liz Cheney and her daddy are in mil-industrial exposure risk a bunch to try and pull this kind of stuff. The committee does NOT have the subpoena power they say they have and they cannot claim Cheney has the approval of the House to be co-chair. It is a non-Constitutional committee with a real dumbo as the other co-chair. Their statements are off the page... whacko!

I know Americans will never be allowed to fully investigate our so-called elected and the unelected. They couldn’t stand the heat

That is what revolutions are for.

For the Democrats, the Constitution is not the fundamental law of the land, but an emotionally laden image to be usen in dishonest political propaganda.

Patience folks, patience. I guarantee you that every single one of those bastards are going to be themselves investigated. Just watch what they have to say when these cretins are put under the microscope, it’s going to be marvelous drama.

They will aguishly claim that they were only doing their jobs moments before the blade of the guillotine comes crashing down. They are going to pay for their treachery.

“They are going to pay for their treachery.”
Of course. 100%. “With thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the ungodly” (Psalm 91: 8). St. Augustine wrote, “For those who now would thunder upon others, will afterwards feel the thunderbolt themselves.”

The Inquisition makes a comeback

Recall when non-Protestants were let into the country in large numbers in the mid-19th century that the common people of the nation said they would bring these European evils back. Since they were the descendants of the original victims, they rightly feared it.

They of course were told to live with it, that no such thing could ever happen...because they had a piece of paper called the Constitution.

Look how that turned out.

In America, somewhere within the continental 48 states, a stalwart citizen reads this title, and decides to themself,
“These (expletive expletive), have just signed their own death sentence!”
