We’re not hearing a lot about Nancy Pelosi’s January “9/11-style” committee to examine events of January 6, but rest assured, it’s still going on, and they are playing hardball. After all, they have domestic terrorism to combat! In fact, the chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, made a shocking statement about how he intended to deal with a subpoenaed Trump supporter who worked at the Justice Department, Jeffrey Clark — someone who never entered the Capitol that day and has not been accused of any crime.
“Our charge is to get to the facts,” he said on MSNBC. “Mr. Clark, through his attorney, has been deliberately avoiding us…Obviously, he is aware that something went on that’s illegal. And rather than be responsible and answer, he’s pleading the Fifth. But if he’s saying, ‘Okay, I’ll come, but I’ll plead the Fifth,’ then in some instances, that says you’re, part and parcel, guilty to what occurred.”
What??
Sure enough, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend that Clark be charged with contempt of Congress.
Jeffrey Clark is asserting his constitutional right not to testify. That doesn’t mean he’s guilty of anything. It might mean, however, that he’s concerned his testimony might be twisted and used by these partisan crazies to make him look guilty. He gets to make that call. Rep. Thompson’s remark, if made in a court of law, might be enough to trigger a mistrial. A similar remark by a prosecutor almost did that during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Tucker Carlson opened his Monday show with a segment on this, saying of Rep. Thompson’s comment, “What you just saw is far more imminently dangerous to our democracy than anything that happened on January 6.” And he is correct.
Carlson also noted that Democrats on the Committee (plus Liz Cheney) have subpoenaed...

The Democrat party is shredding the constitution would be a better headline.
The GOPe continues to assist them where they can.
The January 6th Commission is without precedent and has followed few accepted rules and the process in comparison to past “commissions”. It is another impeachment scam pushing a false narrative and Pelosi is trying to cover her butt and maybe that of DOJ as well given that she FAILED in her duty to secure the capital.
Why should this be surprising? We’ve known of these goons and their lawlessness since November 2020.
Constitution?
We don’t need no stinkin constitution.

That’ll teach people to not calmly walk between velvet ropes
Contempt of Congress is worse than murder!
I do believe that if we didn’t have the constitution in place, Democrats would have rounded up all the rioters and had them executed on TV just to ensure their authority
People are so over 1/6. All these hearings and ignoring real threats and concerns. People are over variants too. They don’t want to hear it.
It's no longer useful news when the breaking news is...get a shot, get a booster, wear a mask. People are over the same old sh*t. Tell me something new that I haven't heard. Same for 1/6, we had a bunch of over zealous patriots ginned up by some agent provocateurs, that's it, there ain't no more, move on.
The Constitution was shredded the day ALL of our elected and appointed clapped like trained seals for the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia’s usurpation.
A clearly political prosecution with a clearly Totalitarian approach to punishing your enemies.
From Wikipedia:
"Since 2011, Thompson has been the only Democrat in Mississippi's congressional delegation. His district includes most of Jackson and is the only majority-black district in the state. It is about 275 miles (443 km) long, 180 miles (290 km) wide, and borders the Mississippi River. The Mississippi Delta comprises the vast majority of the district. "
Do they want war?
