May God’s judgement on these evil corrupt politicians be swift, sure and Final!
By the way, I do not pray that God has mercy on their souls, for they are soulless, Godless heathens.

“ The letter added that the committee had compiled “overwhelming evidence” that Trump had “personally orchestrated” an effort to overturn his defeat for reelection in 2020, and that he had spread false allegations of widespread voter fraud. They also accused him of having attempted to “corrupt” the Department of Justice, and of pressuring state election officials, members of Congress, and then-Vice President Mike Pence to change the results.
“In short, you were at the center of the first and only effort by any U.S. President to overturn an election and obstruct the peaceful transition of power, ultimately culminating in a bloody attack on our own Capitol...”
So, in other words, he is accused of a crime, required to testify, with no defense witnesses no Constitutional protections, and their stated purpose is to cause him to be punished.
This is a Bill of Attainder in all but name.

Bennie Thompson, a Democrat ... and Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming who is vice chair of the committee, issued a joint letter ... “We recognize that a subpoena to a former president is a significant and historic action. We do not take this action lightly.”Cheney and Thompson did Nazi that letter lightly.

Cheney should be doing nothing.
She is a lame duck voted out deciseively by the voters of Wyoming.
This is yet another example of her deranged hubris and self entitlement.
She thinks she’s royalty. Daddy passed this sinecure to me and I’m supposed to be here forever!
It’s as if a lame duck President attempted to amend the Constitution unilaterally on his way out the door.
and Bennie Thompson, from the Republic of New Africa?
Not only will he be nobody in the next Congress, a secessionist like him has no business occupying any position of trust under the Constitution.
They think they can pull this show together before the election to try to knock some wind out of the comin MAGA wave.
They are clearly mistaken, living in a fantasy world.

The Committee is illegal under the Congressional Rules.
The Election was in fact stolen. End discussion on that point.
Every member of the Committee has sold our nation out to foreign money from a Globalist Cabal. They are themselves guilty of high crimes.
They all took an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. All of them betrayed our nation, in a time of war. Yes, we are very much at war with the Globalist Cabal. They declared War on the USA and we have never admitted we are at war.
Our nations literal survival depends upon We the People stopping this betrayal.
Never in the history of the USA has this happened. Obama is behind it now. With many foreign actors.
May God Bless the USA and may these traitors all be punished according to their crimes.

Not telling my age, but I remember further back than most of you...
What we are living under..with.. has never been like this. I’m referring to the government turning on the people.
I still remember sitting in my 8th grade history class and hearing about Russia.
My questions were why did the people let it happen.. to be ruled and choices were gone
Where were safe guards that should have prevented it.
Today in the USA... I see it and I am angry. Angry at every media person.. every government person. .every person who don’t care...angry?..livid!!!!.
I have a new young dentist.. he is from Cambodia.. came with his parents when he was 8. 6 mo ago I was talking to him. He shook his head at what he was seeing.. too familiar and he came here for freedom.
The generation today.. have no idea and don’t much care.. there i go.. anger at these younguns who are too comfortable...
Trump is on. I’ve done enough belly achin....

Yesterday, Politico noted President Trump had enlisted the law firm of Harmeet Dhillon as a proactive measure against a J6 subpoena. “Former President Donald Trump has hired a firm to engage with the Jan. 6 select committee on its forthcoming subpoena of him, POLITICO has learned.” {link} Less than a day later the J6 committee issues the formal subpoena.
Once again, the corrupt DC institutional system, and specific media participation, are identified by the leaks and recipients. The injustice system, DOJ/FBI always use the New York Times and Politico as their advanced public relations firms. The insufferable J6 subpoena details can be FOUND HERE.
WASHINGTON DC, J6 Committee – “Pursuant to a unanimous vote of the Select Committee, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today announced that the Select Committee has issued a subpoena to former President Donald Trump for testimony under oath and records relevant to the Select Committee’s investigation into the attack on the January 6th on the United States Capitol and its causes.
In a letter to Mr. Trump, Chairman Thompson and Vice Chair Cheney underscored his central role in a deliberate, orchestrated effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and block the transfer of presidential power, a matter central to the committee’s investigation as it reviews the facts and considers recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the violence of January 6th.” {link}
The committee is giving President Trump until November 4th to comply with the document request, with a demand for testimony by November 16th.
No president (executive branch) has ever been forced to give testimony to a legislative committee (legislative branch) because the very foundation of the demand violates the separation of powers as established in the constitution. This legal argument will take some time to work itself out, and the (un)likelihood of the subpoena being successful speaks to the political nature of the theatrics in advance of the 2022 midterm election.
That said, having been the recipient of two J6 subpoenas, successfully defeated – in part thanks to your support, I can provide some insight into why President Trump enlisted the Dhillon Law Firm.
At least from my experience, there are only a handful of potential lawyers or law firms who will even take the case of a fight against a J6 committee subpoena because: (1) it is just so fraught with politics, and (2) the entire enterprise is a litigious and financial black hole.
The weaponized J6 committee has a bottomless budget, the J6 targets do not. Ultimately, the financial cost is the root cause of why Lawfare succeeds. It’s just too damned expensive to fight them off, even with great lawyers. I can only imagine how much Steve Bannon has spent, and how much President Trump will have to spend.
Even a simple responsive letter to the committee, depending on scale and scope, starts around $10,000 and goes up from there; that’s just for the initial response. If the initial response isn’t successful, the fight retainer starts around six figures for the next round… and that’s just a single and simple case. The more complex legal arguments are exponentially more costly for the targets. Justice system? Yeah, good luck with that.
Now, given the J6 subpoena against President Trump is likely to fail on constitutional grounds, let’s talk about the motive for why they would do this.
The J6 Committee has a timeline that is now extended beyond the midterm election. This is not accidental. The midterm election is likely to result in the House flipping from Democrat control to Republican control. Keep in mind both Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are lame ducks right now. Additionally, the people inside the J6 committee machinery are Lawfare agents like Mary McCord.
The committee is timing their political effort to extend beyond the midterms in order to shield itself from Republican scrutiny. The oft familiar “ongoing investigation” shield becomes a purposeful technique to protect themselves, a transparent motive surfaces for their timeline.
Post-election, the committee will lean heavily on the media to avoid any/all discoveries of their malicious targeting conduct if the midterm elections remove the Democrats from power. This is the way these conniving and corrupt political lawfare agents work.
Unfortunately, the Republican wing is not an opposing force against the Democrat wing. They are both wings of the same DC UniParty vulture. So, we should not anticipate any full combat in the post-election House by an angered GOP against Democrats. Everything will be optics; nothing will be substantive.
Bottom line, the J6 subpoena against Trump should fail, but that’s not the real motive for the J6 to push the subpoena against Trump. They are using this Trump subpoena, and the long battle that will ensue over it, as a shield against scrutiny by a flipped power structure in the House of Representatives.
If Republicans win the House, Nancy Pelosi will retire. Bookmark it. There is no scenario where Nancy Pelosi will remain in congress after all of the political manipulation, she has done in the past four years. Adam Schiff will likely be minority leader.

Everyone knows this is a political act.
It is an escalation by the Democrats.
What is it they are afraid of?
What have they done?

They can do anything they want until Jan 2. And it is likely a Dem loss on election day will just stimulate them to do anything they want. Nancy, Kinzinger, Cheney and a host of others have nothing to lose.

This “committee” is demanding that former President Trump answer to them concerning any of his thoughts or statements. Whatever happened to three separate and equal branches of government? The Jan 6th committee has taken the powers of executive, legislative, and judicial authority without any oversight.
Has any other President in our history been so constrained by the other branches of government as Trump was during his Presidency?
