The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has asked the Supreme Court to turn away former President Trump's effort to block the release of his administration's records.
Lawyers for the House select committee in a court brief on Thursday pushed back against Trump's claim of executive privilege over a trove of records that congressional investigators say are needed for their probe into the deadly riot.
“The Select Committee’s work is of the highest importance and urgency: investigating one of the darkest episodes in our nation’s history, a deadly assault on the United States Capitol and Congress, and an unprecedented disruption of the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next,” they wrote.
“The investigation is indispensable to the Select Committee’s ability to propose remedial measures to ensure the peaceful transfer of power and prevent future attacks on our democratic institutions.”
Pls scotus, let us continue our fishing expedition.
I’m sure Robert’s et al will be more than happy to comply
How about panel members be required to show what is requested by the People.
Roberts and Kavanaugh have in the past ruled against Trump.
How about those on the panel? Let’s see phone, email and financial records. Likely to be more incrimminating than Trump’s.
These people hate this GREAT country.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT !!!
Vote,them out.
Oooh but never mind that the Epstein’s black book records have been ordered sealed! Double standards are going to lead us to another civil war! But this time the subhuman slave narrative by the evil POS RATS are the conservatives and fairness!
Malta will decide .... and let Epstein-Roberts know.
Do away with rule by consensus put the thumb on Byrd et’al and let’s find out what actually transpired in the dc swamp machine to facilitate such a fake event that shielded the STEAL
Of course they do.
House Panel: Blah blah blah.
SCOTUS: Sorry, we don’t speak kangaroo.
Now they’re advising SCOTUS. 🙄
So much for lady justice being blindfolded. The supremes being lobbied by the crooks after President Trump.
.
IF they succeed in breaking Executive Privilege against Trump-—what is to prevent similar actions against Biden-—Obama-—Clinton-—LBJ-—JFK-— Executive Privilege is connected to the OFFICE——AND the PERSON.
This would open ALL of prior & FUTURE Presidents into a spotlight none of the Dems wish to see....
““The Select Committee’s work is of the highest importance and urgency: investigating one of the darkest episodes in our nation’s history”
So now, just to get Trump, they’re minimizing slavery.
Justices Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett pictured deliberating Trump's fate:
What about HW’s, Bubba’s, Dubya’s, Odungo’s????? I wanna see theirs if President Trump is forced to give his up!!!
There was an article in our local paper last night, which said that the White House had intervened and called some of the records wanted by the committee to be “off limits” (due to various reasons). It was made to sound like Biden was doing this to protect national security.
My guess is that the records he is protecting are related to the actual insurrection plans not being made by Trump and his supporters, but by FBI and their operatives.
