Jan. 6 Committee tells court it urgently needs Trump records
The Hill ^ | 11/22/2021 | HARPER NEIDIG

The select House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack told a federal appeals court on Monday that it urgently needs extensive records from former President Trump's White House, arguing that more time would hinder its probe.

"Delay itself would inflict a serious constitutional injury on the Select Committee by interfering with its legislative duty. The Select Committee needs the documents now because they will shape the direction of the investigation," the panel's attorneys wrote in a filing with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. "For example, the documents could inform which witnesses to depose and what questions to ask them, as well as whether further subpoenas should be issued to others."

“...urgently needs extensive records ...”

~~~

Translation: “The NYT and WaPo NEEEEED the leaks we would send them, and the DoJ and FBI can go fishing! Judge, we need to damage Trump badly before Biden’s numbers fall below 35% and we can make hay before the next election. Halp!”

Should say.

“Please violate the separation of powers, so we can go fishing for political non-sense.”

There, fixed it.

Of course it’s urgent. They probably have until January 2nd of 2023 to finish their work then that’s it.

We need a list of lakes to go fishing in.

We got nothing and our only hope of having anything is if you allow us to invade President Trump’s privacy.

In order to find out what happened on Jan 6 2021, they will need his tax returns from 1980 to 2022.

Stalin asked, “Who killed Kirov?”, when he already knew.

Great idea, establish precedence so when the Republican are back in power the can demand ALL the documents from the Clinton and Obama administrations and pull Goober, Hillary, Gore, Obama and Biden including their minions backwards through a knothole...
