The Hill ^ | 10/21/2022 | REBECCA BEITSCH

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol released its full subpoena to former President Trump, detailing 19 areas of inquiry it wishes to discuss with the former president and asking him to appear for a deposition on Nov. 14.

“As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) wrote in the letter accompanying the subpoena.

“As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power,”

Right. It's just an inquiry.

Remember who is the man who has won every live televised Presidential debate he’s ever entered.

Let the cameras roll.

There is a strict separation of powers for a reason. The Congress has no authority to question a sitting (at the time) president for obsessions they have.

Trying to rush it because they know their majority and therefore the investigation itself is gone come January.

Is he allowed to also bring legal representation under the constitutional law of due process?

Of course not. This is a non-legal proceeding with legal ramifications, you know.

Don’t be so sure that Liz (age 56) doesn’t have a case of leaky bladder. It happens as women get older. She’s old enough for that to be a problem. I bet she did wet herself!

Then it is flat out unconstitutional without due process.

But we knew that didn’t we? The whole thing is unconstitutional.

If I were Trump I would insist on Constitutional representation and due process or take a hike...

This is the ultimate political hail Mary. The Dems are terrified of losing in Nov. This is their last hope.

Funny how that “leak” to the WaPo just coincidencentally came out at the same time as the announced subpoena.

We'll, I'm sure this will swell the red wave.

This was directly emboldened by Bannon’s conviction and sentencing.
