The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack has issued new subpoenas to lawyers for Donald Trump suspected to be involved in efforts to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
The subpoenas – authorized hours before Biden’s first State of the Union address – targeted documents and testimony from Cleta Mitchell, Kurt Olsen, Katherine Freiss, Phillip Kline, Kenneth Chesebro and the pro-Trump One America News host Christina Bobb.
“The select committee is seeking information about attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of electoral votes and any efforts to corruptly change the outcome of the 2020 election,” said Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the panel.

“The six individuals we’ve subpoenaed today all have knowledge related to those matters and will help the select committee better understand all the various strategies employed to potentially affect the outcome of the election,” Thompson said.
The subpoenas reflect the panel’s focus on Trump’s schemes to stop Biden’s certification from taking place, so that the former president’s associates could buy time to co-opt state legislatures to send Trump slates of electors to return him to office.
The Guardian previously reported that Trump was himself intimately involved in the scheme and called the Trump “war room” set up in the Willard hotel in Washington the night before the Capitol attack to discuss ways to stop Biden’s certification from happening entirely.
The Trump operatives involved in the Willard operation included Bobb, who joined the legal team at the hotel led by Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani and another Trump lawyer, John Eastman.

Instead of Muh insurrection, they should have been paying attention and acting to curb inflation and Russia. Hearings on things that matter?
this is an illegally constituted “select committee” that no one should appear before. These “investigations” are supposed to be done with some sort of legislative intent, what is their legislative intent, to pass a law stating that you cannot challenge anything the Media/Dem Party says?
And we’re worried about Putin…
Man they are desperate to find out whats in those PEADs.
Hi.
There used to be a thing called attorney client privilege.
That went out after a snake called Michael Cohen and Robert Mueller.

Speaking of that jerk, I can just imagine how many times he’s going to blame everything on Trump tonight at the state of the union. It’s going to be infuriating especially with the Rat/RINO clapping seals giving him a standing ovation every 2 minutes.
That is exactly true.
Soviet trials by the head of the black separatist New Afrika movement.
My how times have changed.
“Attack panel”.

Veering close to the truth.
What if everyone refuses to show ?

After Pelosi tore up pres. Trump’s SOTU speech, the Dems can go f*ck themselves about civility.
These bastards deserve a real insurrection. Hope I live long enough to to see it happen.
Yawn. Tell them to shove it.
can you see my middle finger
I’ve been told the panel has no power of arrest. If true it’s all theater so why show up ?
There’s another post on this and packagingguy said this and it’s exactly true:
“Criminalizing differences of opinion?”
Raids, forcing testimony, terrorizing firms into dropping clients. And all done for political goals.
This is an authoritarian government.
I, like many Freepers, won’t be watching. I will follow it here and drink heavily. Trump should do a rebuttal.
