Rep. Liz Cheney Says Jan. 6 Committee Will Issue Trump Subpoena ‘Shortly’ at Harvard IOP Forum
Harvard Crimson ^ | Oct 19 2023 | Miles J. Herszenhorn, Crimson Staff Writer

United States Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said the House’s January 6 Select Committee will issue a subpoena to former President Donald J. Trump “shortly,” during remarks at a Harvard Institute of Politics forum Tuesday evening.

The Jan. 6 committee voted unanimously to subpoena Trump for documents and testimony under oath during its final public hearing on Thursday.

“There was no disagreement on the committee,” Cheney said during the IOP forum. “We all felt that our obligation is to seek his testimony, that the American people deserve to hear directly from him, that it has to be under oath, that he has to be held accountable.”

Cheney said she is operating under the assumption that Trump will “fulfill his legal obligation and honor the subpoena.”

“If that doesn’t happen, then we will take the steps we need to take after that,” she added. “But I don’t want to go too far down that path at this point.”

The event, which was moderated by former Wyoming Governor Matthew H. Mead and Hannah A. Bottarel ’24, also covered the future of the Republican Party and the United States’ responsibility to continue supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion.

More people care about the price increases in ‘French fries’ than care about the Jan 6th hearings.

Purely coincidental that this would occur three weeks before the midterms. /s

“We all felt that our obligation is to seek his testimony, that the American people deserve to hear directly from him, that it has to be under oath, that he has to be held accountable.”

When will they demand the same of the incredibly corrupted Biden and all of his enrichment over the years by selling the USA out to China?

Trump made his fortune legally in the free market. Leeches Biden, Clinton, and Obama all spend their entire adult lives in government and each got filthy rich. The ONLY way that happens is by selling their office and dark, dank, pervasive corruption. Honorable politicians with integrity would not leave public service with any more money than they had going in. The Democrat corruption is so obvious on the face of it.

It doesn’t mention whether they politely asked him to “testify”. I suppose they like this whole “subpoena theme”, because it makes them look like real enforcers.

I hope this all bombs back on the J6 group, badly.

Get out the base move for the Democrats. It’s so pathetic.

““There was no disagreement on the committee,””

No kidding! I wonder why?? Could it be because the same oligarchic Speaker appointed ALL members to the committee??

"“Ukraine is the frontline in the battle for freedom, and the world — not just America, but the world — has an obligation to make sure that Ukraine prevails,” she added."

Good thing your constituents rejected you overwhelmingly. How much money did you make in connection to Ukraine, Liz?
Better hope no one starts looking.

Lest it be forgotten, the first impeachment of Trump happened when it became known he was looking into Ukraine.

Libs would panic if Trump testified.

Do you think he'd shut up when they pounded the gavel?

Remember, "live on TV" is his prerequisite!

"NO Liz! Contempt for an unconstitutional committee is NOT "Contempt of Congress!"

> it has to be under oath <

Yes, so they can later charge him with perjury.

If Trump appears, he should go with the Hillary “I can’t recall” defense. But Trump is too bull-headed to try that. Instead, he will try to explain himself fully. And then if he makes even one little misstatement, perjury!

Well Trump wants to testify. The socialists want him to testify. So there’s that.

Please don’t insult dogs, most of whom are vastly better people than those vermin.

The morons on the committee thought trump would fight the subpoena request, which would help the Rats gin up their voting base for the mid-term. Instead, Trump called their bluff and said he would testify if the testimony was public.

Now the Rats are stuck. They didn’t really want him to testify and they sure as hell didn’t want him testifying in public; they wanted a fight over the subpoena. Now they’ll huff and puff and do nothing before the midterm as Trump has effectively spoiled their game.

It won’t help them in November. They’ll still have to depend on steeling elections.
