Here is part of the new resolution declaring the J6 Select Committee illegitimate and seeking to rescind subpoenas for Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Mark Meadows, and Dan Scavino.

Does anybody believe that J6 was orchestrated by the Democratic Party to take down Trump or to hurt Trump?? Honestly, I never hear people talk about this.

Time to move that YUGE rock you’re living under Ubound.

Today, @RepThomasMassie, @RepAndyBiggsAZ and I introduced a resolution to rescind the subpoenas issued by the illegitimate J6 Committee for Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro and withdraw the recommendations finding them in contempt of Congress.

🧵⬇️
Before the January 6th Committee was even established, Democrats had already determined what would be the Committee’s conclusion – that President Trump and his advisors were to blame for anything that took place on Jan. 6.

One day after Jan. 6, then-Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer called for Trump to be removed from office by whatever means necessary.

Pelosi even went as far as to say that Trump could be an “accessory to murder.”

On Jan. 13, House Democrats and 10 Republicans impeached President Trump over the events of Jan. 6.

When they failed to secure a conviction in the Senate, Pelosi turned to creating this illegitimate Committee.

On June 30, House Democrats, along with pretend Republicans Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, passed H. Res. 503, establishing the January 6th Select Committee.

The resolution establishing the Committee stated the “Speaker shall appoint 13 members to the Select Committee.”

The resolution allowed Pelosi to appoint eight members unilaterally and required her to appoint an additional five members after consulting the minority leader.

Did she do this? No.

Pelosi made the unprecedented decision to deny seating two of the five members Minority Leader McCarthy recommended – Reps. Banks and Jordan.

Pelosi appointed Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Jamie Raskin, and Bennie Thompson, who served as the Chairman. She also appointed Liz Cheney as one of her original eight majority selections.

After denying McCarthy’s selections, she appointed Adam Kinzinger, leaving the committee with nine members, not thirteen as required by H. Res. 503.

And in yet another violation of H. Res. 503, the Select Committee did not have a ranking minority member – it had a vice chair, Liz Cheney.

The very resolution that established the Committee required the Chair to consult with the ranking minority member before issuing a subpoena.

Did this ever happen? No.

House Democrats also made the unprecedented decision to exempt the Select Committee from House Rule XI requiring committee rules provide equal time for majority and minority members asking alternate questions.

Only two members of the Committee had active roles during hearings, which they spent hours rehearsing ahead of time so they could put on Stalinist show-trails for the American people.

Bottom line: The Committee was used as a political weapon with a singular focus on taking down Trump and his advisors through the intentional manipulation of facts and the silencing of the minority party.

It was procedurally flawed from the start. Unlike every other select committee in history, Pelosi refused to appoint minority members chosen by the minority to the Committee.

The Committee was nothing more than a political witch hunt and was legally deficient in its composition.

t was more focused on wasting tens of millions of taxpayer dollars producing made-for-TV hearings than following House rules or the facts.

The subpoenas issued by the illegitimate Committee for Bannon, Navarro, Scavino, and Meadows were insufficient and should be rescinded, and the contempt of Congress referrals based on those subpoenas should be withdrawn.

A Resolution passed by only one half of Congress has no authority,

Resolutions have no authority beyond a statement by the body making it. This, however is not a law. It is the recanting of a previous statement, along with a Statement of Notice which can be used by the defendants in their appeals.

In this particular case, the courts ruled that they cannot rule on whether the House followed its own rules, due to separation of powers, and took the House’ statement on its own. What the court did not do, and improperly so, was address the conflict between the House and the Executive Privilege claim, and simply accepted the House’s denial of that claim. The Court was quite wrong on that part, and this resolution makes that the House’s position as well..

True, its just a resolution. Only a fund raising stunt.

Resolutions are as useful as sternly worded letters. It’s a clown show, signifying nothing. Give them an “F”.

You’re welcome the house created said special committee the senate never did any kind of rubber stamping. Therefore it is a strictly a congressional committee if a future congress rules that the committee was created without proper process they can do they can do that it doesn’t require other governing bodies approval.
It’s like a senate special committee same thing that is a senate creation.
