House panel subpoenas organizers of Jan. 6 Trump rally

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection has subpoenaed 11 officials who were involved in planning rallies in support of former President Donald Trump ahead of the violent attack, including one the day of the siege at which the president told his supporters to “fight like hell.”

The announcement follows a first round of subpoenas last week that targeted former White House and administration officials who were in contact with Trump before and during the insurrection.

The committee said in a release Wednesday that the subpoenas are part of the panel’s efforts to collect information from the organizers “and their associated entities on the planning, organization, and funding of those events.” Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the committee, said “the inquiry includes examination of how various individuals and entities coordinated their activities leading up to the events of January 6.”

The letters from Thompson cite efforts by representatives of the group Women for America First to organize the rally on Jan. 6 and to collectively communicate with senior White House officials. The subpoenas also mention other events the group planned in the weeks between Trump’s November election defeat and the January attack.

Among those from whom the committee is seeking information is Caroline Wren, a veteran GOP fundraiser who was named as a “VIP Advisor” on an attachment to the permit that Women for America First submitted. During the campaign, she was a national finance consultant for Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee between the president’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee.

The AP has previously reported that Wren was involved in at least one call before the pro-Trump rally with members of several groups listed as rally participants to organize credentials for VIP attendees.

What about CNN and John Sullivan?

They CONSPIRED beforehand to lead a Trump supporter (Ashli Babbitt) INTO A KILL BOX so they could RECORD IT for their "violent Trump supporters" narrative on television.

no autonomous zone

no looting

no arson

not one abductee held

not one demand

not one person harmed

no government official harmed

no guns

no weapons

the only person killed was an unarmed woman

the police actually invited people in later on

what part of this looks like an attempted government
takeover

this is a political witch hunt

the government is the bad guy here

suck it up buttercup

We were in Manhattan last weekend and on one of our subway rides there was an FBI poster with that number. “Report hate crimes” it urged.

Unlike the Dims, the Trump rally organizers have nothing to hide. Testify freely!

Or, they could have a little fun and go Adam Schiffty on them and just make shit up.

While what I said was true...

For those who come by the post I’m responding to and don’t
know...

The woman that was killed was a citizen that wasn’t
threatening anyone. An officer shot through a door (window)
and killed her.

It was the only shot fired that day that I know of.

She wasn’t armed or making threats of any kind.

He essentially executed her.

He got off scott free.

A few years ago I joined the Proud Boys.
Some of them attended J6 against our LOUD advice (it’s a trap).
One videoed himself and posted it on Fakebauk. Yet a couple others (feds) who went are walking about freely and actively killing the frat.
Since then, the frat has been infiltrated by what we believe are feds who post nazi crap. Seriously, it grew like wildfire. We were all like wtf.
Tarrio (the so called chairman) is a federal informant. He was disavowed.
A bunch of us left and formed our own frat. The PBs are now a clout chasing gang of thugs. But if it wasn’t for the PBs I would never have met the good men I know now.

Not only did he get away scott free, he was a hero on Free Republic. I read numerous posts about how brave he was. How he had no choice but to do what he did. How she deserved what happened to her. And more like bull shit. There was even one poster on here who maintains that she was never killed.
