@bennyjohnson · Follow 🚨BREAKING: A new provision in the latest CR lets Congress block subpoenas for House data, including emails, potentially preventing any investigation into the J6 Committee.

If you haven't heard, Congress is trying to pass a ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED PAGE omnibus bill. A typical tactic of politicians for decades has been to attach a whole bunch of hidden clauses into a massive-yet-critical spending bill that no one can physically read and process in its entirety.

Thanks to Elon Musk's X, there's a place for people to read the bill together and find things that are hidden (X's AI, Grok, will also be able to read and summarize these bills in the future).

Speaking of Elon, here is his reaction:

And some more:

VIDEOS AND TWEETS AT LINK....................

I should note that on Tuesday, we reported that a House committee recommended an investigation into Liz Cheney for allegedly colluding with witnesses in the J6 hearings.

House report says Liz Cheney should be investigated for witness tampering at J6 hearings Welp, I think I know who Biden is going to pardon next. NOTTHEBEE.COM https://notthebee.com/article/house-report-says-liz-cheney-should-be-investigated-for-witness-tampering-at-j6-hearings Incoming DOGE lord Vivek Ramaswamay said this about the bill:

The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill. There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress.

The deadline for passing a bill to keep the government going is Friday.

(How about we just shut the whole thing down as a Christmas gift to America?)

Trying? If they’d take about 1,540 pages out, it might be okay.

Hears what a CR should read:

Government is hereby funded at the same rate as the last fiscal year.

Add the clause, “ until January 21, 2025.”

I hope Trump makes it clear to congress on day one that he will not sign any CR and that they need to do their job.

It is my understanding of the rules of Congress, that if just one member requests, the bill must be read aloud. Can this bill be delayed until the new Congress is sworn in?

They just made a few passing comments on CR saying how small it was (sarcastically) and then chuckling.

That provision - alone - should torpedo the whole ugly thing. Everything they force on the people they exclude themselves.

Obamacare - Congress excluded

Insider Trading - Congress excluded

Covid vaccination - Congress excluded

DOJ/FBI investigation - Congress effectively excluded

Just Say No.
