And private citizens should refuse to comply if such subpoenas are issued.
Time to bring this to a head.

When is insider trader Pelosi going to have 911 investigations into the 20,000 terror attacks by the group she praised Antifa and BLM?

Matter of fact, let me ask her that (I love my ban-proof twitter account).....

Really, are the American people excited about yet another long, dragged out talkfest of elite politicians loving their face time on TV day after day?

Blasting Kavanaugh, impeaching an innocent Trump for nonexistent Russia BS, then another Trump impeachment even though he wasn’t even in office any longer.

What are the Dems’ TV rating going to be during a boring rehash of Jan.6th? “Greats of Professional Bowling’s Yesteryear” and “Canadian Pre-Exhibition Season Curling Tryouts” may top them.

They are following the Communist thug plan.

In Belarus, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya won the election, but longtime thug Alexander Lukashenko bent the vote counts (he usually wins with > 90% ) and made sure she lost.

She contested all that, but of course that made her a criminal to Lukashenko and his buddy Bad Vlad.

Something about “trying to overturn democracy” is how Lukashenko’s gangster state puts it - in other words, when anyone opposes him.

American “news” media ignores all this but the Dem party - the “American” partner to the new Comintern - is well aware of the tactics.

If you cruise the net for such real news, it’s around:

You won’t find it in the UK tabloid crap that routinely gets posted to FR.

First one to subpoena is the person who is in charge of the Capital Police, Nancy and the DCMayor that refused The National Guard Trump said they should have had 2 weeks before the event. Then subpoena the cop that shot Ashli Babbit and subpoena the doctor that examined Ashli when they brought her in. Then jail Pelosi for creating a fake insurrection!

The problem with having an investigation is having impartial investigators. The senate, the house, the executive,and the media would all be the suspects

They are overreaching. Americans don’t want to hear that 3,000 deaths is the same as a dude dressed like a viking walking around inside a building.

Pelosi’s 9/11-Style Commission find her guilty.

If law really did work it’s more of a cover up Commission now.

Yes, I recall the impeachment process. Only Dems were allowed to subpoena and question witnesses. And all the witnesses were hard core anti-Trump activists.

Who woke Leahy up from his post-impeachment slumber? I thought he’d be down for a Rip Van Winkle twenty years, or until he would be carried out of The Senate.

Don't sell the GOPe short. They will absolutely follow their tried and true method for collaboration on bipartisan commissions by appointing all get along-go along RINOs except for one lone conservative whom they'll undermine at every turn. As well, they'll laud the middle of the road RAT chairman as fair and respected while saying nary a peep about the hard leftists filling the remaining slots on the other side. They did it with Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11, and there's no question they'll do it with this one,too.
