January 6 committee withdraws subpoena against President Donald Trump
American Thinker ^ | 29 Dec, 2022 | Rajan Laad

Posted on 12/29/2022 10:38:46 AM PST by MtnClimber

The January 6th Committee has been a theatrical political weapon of the Democrats; what if we turned it against them?

A few hours back Breitbart, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and a few other news outlets reported that the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol protests is withdrawing its subpoena of President Donald Trump as it concludes its work.

Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), wrote the following in a letter to President Trump’s attorney:

As you may know, the Select Committee has concluded its hearings, released its final report, and will very soon reach its end.

In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena.

Therefore, through this letter, I hereby formally withdraw the subpoena issued to former President Trump, and notify you that he is no longer obligated to comply or produce records in response to the said subpoena.

Lawyer Harmeet Dhillon revealed that her firm had filed a lawsuit on separation of powers grounds to block the January 6 House Select Committee’s illegitimate subpoena of President Trump over his activities while President. Dhillon also revealed that her lawsuit was based on the precedent of past presidents’ refusal to testify in Congress.

The Biden administration has appointed another special prosecutor to indict Trump.

The guy is a real piece of work, and I have no doubt he will indict Trump. And Trump will go to trial in the incredibly biased Washington D.C. jurisdiction and be found guilty of whatever non-sense crime the political special prosecutor decides to charge him with.

Only a successful offense can stop this. People like Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and others involved in this must be made to pay, personally.

I would start by releasing all Nancy’s tax returns, just like they just did to Trump. And continue on from there. Investigate, get AT&T to give you her cell-phone records, and leak the text-messages to Gateway Punit.

As long as this is a one sided game where only Republicans are hurt it will never end. We have to create a MAD situation for Team Jackass.

What about the political prisoners held for two years without being charged?

I say swap the J6 prisoners with the J6 Committee. Let the J6 committee rot in prison until they get a trial.....And when they don't get a trial their bones should be released from prison and ground and used as additives for sewer pipes. It will be the most constructive thing they have contributed to in their lives.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Republicans in Congress to do anything of the sort. They've been gutless wonders, and Democrat collaborators for years. I have no faith in any of them. The only people who can save this Republic now are the citizen soldiery. I wish I had the wealth to fund experts in their fields to counter the evil empire that rules this country, but alas! I'm just an old lady with no money, no tech skills, nor the physical prowess or agility to battle on the forefront. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to live in this country when it was once great.

The J6 committee should remain in place, under new management, with every fact brought into the sunlight.

Republican apparatchiks at the federal and state level are some of our worst enemies, and they should be called out every time they do anything that is contrary to MAGA domestic and foreign policy positions.

Trump donated his full salary to charity every year he was in office.

It was a government-funded DNC campaign ad, professionally produced and edited.

Despite their attempt to present it as so, they are not prosecutors. There was no prosecution, just abuse of the rules as they converted public funds to a political campaign.
