The entire premise of the J6 committee is a farce. The overwhelming majority of Americans fully understand it is a political exercise between Democrats in congress and their hired Lawfare allies. The goal is to label their political opposition as extremists, block and/or tarnish President Trump and manufacture a false premise to advance the Democrat 2022 election goals.
Despite this reality the effort continues in order to fuel their far-left base and media allies.
Today, the House committee triggered subpoenas against House republican members. The subpoenas were sent to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (U-DC), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Rep Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). All five of the house members had previously rejected investigators’ requests for voluntarily testimony.
The subpoena authority is likely, hopefully, to be challenged in court. The premise of a House committee issuing subpoena’s to the political opposition of the same House membership appears to violate the function of government on many levels.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Republican leader indicated he might not comply with the subpoena.
“My view on the committee has not changed,” said McCarthy, who added he had not yet seen the subpoena. “They’re not conducting a legitimate investigation. It seems as though they just want to go after their political opponents.”
The select committee demanded testimony from the five lawmakers in the final week of May.
Members of the select panel have wrestled for months with the question of how to handle their GOP colleagues. The Capitol riot committee’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), had previously doubted the wisdom of that subpoenaing lawmakers, as that would likely trigger a lengthy court fight unlikely to be resolved before in the current Congress.
But the select panel’s thinking appears to have changed, as every avenue of the probe led investigators toward fellow House members.
Some of the subpoena targets — and several other GOP lawmakers — were regularly in contact with Trump and the White House in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6. They helped amplify false claims about the integrity of the 2020 election and were among the earliest to call on colleagues to challenge the results.
But members were mindful that demanding testimony from lawmakers would potentially set a precedent. While House and Senate ethics committees have subpoenaed members and staff before, there’s little precedent for an investigative committee — particularly one mainly guided by the majority party — turning its subpoena powers on fellow members of the House.

The committee is desperate to find something, anything, that can justify all of the time and expense they have been consuming in the effort. The clock is running out fast and the pressure is building internally. As a target of their investigation, and as a recipient of one of these subpoenas’, I can assure readers of the ridiculousness of the people conducting the investigation fishing expedition. It is nonsense. All of it.
Take your pick of ultra-MAGA graphics, either one is appropriate…
My browser may be faulty. I see one comment, but the header says 115 comments before the one I am adding.
You’re on the second page.
Which page one is on can be seen at the bottom of the page.
And I don’t understand that set up. Over at Watts Up With That (WUWT), the most read and visited website on “Climate Change”, they don’t do pages for the comments and it works fine despite having 100s of comments on some posts. Their site and posts also load almost instantly, while this one is relatively very slow to load.
Rah – I’m going to suggest that you send a donate to CTH. The donation button is in the upper right hand corner below the flickering candle.
Anyone subpoenaed should just provide the committee with a copy of “Rigged” and “2000 Mules”
Who’s their political opposition again? McCarthy?? Gd help us. The only Democrat 2022 election goals are what the Uniparty tells them they will be in order to keep the bogus dialectic rolling along.
Cheney is a Republican, whatever that means. Republicans can never be who we want them to be. They will always who ‘they’ want them to be.
This is not a defect, but rather an intended feature of the system.
Neither party is in the manufacturing business. They are downstream distributors of Uniparty product. The Uniparty makes cars, owns Ford and GM dealerships and is enriched by all sales.
By acceding to the false premise of authentic competition we essentially seat ourselves in their stadium and wave a pennant for their rigged game. Victory is a tautology, never a contest.
Handicapping this scam via endless (red) spy vs (blue) spy commentary abets and breathes life into it.
Never said better.
We need to abolish the democrat party, along with the Unconstitutional ‘agencies’ that have power not granted by the Constitution.
Thanks for not using the adjectival version of the party’s name as so many do.
A good start is abolishing the five cabinet-level departments Ron Paul said he’d start with
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ron-paul-proposes-saving-1t-by-scrapping-five-federal-departments
Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, and Interior. Also, the TSA (transportation security admin) leaving security there for the private sector–which would always do a better job of it. From the Oct. 17, 2011 CBS News website.
As you’ve received a subpoena from the farcical but dangerous J6 scumittee, it confirms my belief that I am at the right website.
A quick shoutout to the pieces of garbage aka FIB who obviously peruse this site was well.
And how many times did I send links to CTH’s articles to Pres. Trump during his years in office. I would assume that Trump’s speechwriter Stephen Miller reads CTH religiously.
You are awesome Sundance.
If only our feckless “Republicans” could get even 50% of your backbone, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in. My hatred of Ronna McDaniel, Mitch, Kevin & their cronies knows no bounds. They will work hard to get America Last candidates elected, & hardly anyone is working at getting out of power.
blob:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/31b17253-07c6-4df0-a179-7c034aeca1f8. The whole J6 “committee” is a sham.
Oh dear Lord, this was supposed to be a pic of a man saying “No fish today.”
Just blow it off. STOP giving this sham legitimacy
Trump Still In Wonderland
The Lizard Brain Chaney and The J6 Mock Third Impeachment Trial of the Very Stable Genius
When the Lizard Chaney heard the Speaker Red Queen once scream about the Very Stable Genius, “I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,”(@) it quickly took back it’s tongue to the roof of it’s mouth and spoke, “Look, the lizard brain that I have says I hope bad things happen to this man..”(&)
“…how large the [Very Stable Genius] had grown in the last few [years], and [he] jumped up in such a hurry that he tipped over the jury-box with the edge of [his huge MAGA hat], upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding [him] very much of a globe of goldfish [globalists][he] had accidentally upset the [election] before.”(&)
Oh, I <em>beg</em> your pardon!' [he] exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as [he] could, for the accident of the goldfish [globalists] kept running in [his] head, and [he] had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would die.”(&)
‘The trial cannot proceed,’ said [Chairman Bennie] in a very grave voice,until all the jurymen are back in their proper places– all,’ he repeated with great emphasis, looking hard at The Very Stable Genius as he said do.”(&)
[The Very Stable Genius] looked at the jury-box, and saw that, in [his] haste, [he} had put the Lizard in head downwards, and the poor little thing was waving its tail about in a melancholy way, being quite unable to move. [He] soon got it out again, and put it right;
not that it signifies much,' [he] said to [himself];
I should think it would be quite as much use in the trial one way up as the other.'(&)“As soon as the jury had a little recovered from the shock of being upset, and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back to them, they set to work very diligently to write out a history of the accident, all except the Lizard [Chaney], who seemed too much overcome to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of the [Congress].”(&)
. . . “Let the jury consider their verdict,” [Chairman Bennie] said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the speaker Queen. “Sentence first–verdict afterward.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said The Very Stable Genius loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!”
“Hold your tongue!” said the Queen, turning purple.
“I won’t!” said The Very Stable Genius.
“Off with his head!” the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
“Who cares for you?” said The Very Stable Genius. (He had grown to his full size by this time.) “You’re nothing but a [House] of cards! (&)

I’d go in person and use the hillary clinton defence. “I don’t remember, or I don’t recall”.
All of them should give the J6 committee the one finger salute and tell them to bugger off!
Committee: “Were you involved in the planning or execution of the January 6 insurrection?”
Congressman: “I am not now and never have been an employee of the FBI so, no.”
The J6 committee ARE THE CRIMINALS. It’s obviously a political witch hunt with political PRISONERS who aren’t receiving their DUE PROCESS! All of these democRAT CRIMINALS should be prosecuted for CRIMES AGAINST America.
The 2020 fake election was a Coup D’Etat. The Crime Syndicate now in power in the US is almost no different than what we’ve read about throughout history when a Communist mob takes over a country. It is surreal to think that anything like the J6 committee could even exist in America. A committee composed solely of Crime Syndicate mobsters going after their political opposition, just like in Nazi Germany in the early days of Hitler’s reign before he declared himself Dictator. Their targets are political opposition leaders and Free Press today but it will be every day Americans who don’t profess loyalty to The Party tomorrow if they are allowed to remain in power. Most people can see this clearly, unless they are stupefied by the Fake News propaganda they are foolish enough to continue watching. The Democrats made the mistake of airing their fake impeachment trials on CSPAN. For anyone who knows anything about court room procedures it was clear these kangaroo court trials had no basis in any kind of legal rules or decorum. All the country was able to see what low-life criminals the Democrats have become. People are on to them now and they can wipe out all the news outlets they want and this won’t change.
they need to tell cheney and crew to go FJB
nicely done Sundance…….nicely done indeed
The breach of the Capital building was simply “ALLOWED” to happen!! I also went to the Jan 6th event & based on what I witnessed that day – The only thing that makes any sense – It was “ALLOWED” to happen… My Heart & Soul hurts for the Patriots who were rounded up & thrown in jail… UNBELIEVABLE!!! [FYI…I did not enter the building – but – I was close enough to see that I could have]
False claims of election fraud? That statement is ridiculous. Everyone knows or should know that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
In the antebellum Congress, this kind of nonsense was answered to the Committee leadership in the only decent way possible: a prompt and curt demand for satisfaction.
Both parties would by the force of society’s opprobrium have met on the field of honor in Bladensburg, Maryland, where this kind of farce would have been concluded that very morning.
In our coming better America, the code duello must be re-established, and this time with the force of law.
Congress has under Art. I the power to establish its own rules, so the J6 Committee’s existence, while repugnant, is constitutional.
In the upcoming 118th Congress, the GOP needs to re-establish in the first week the venerable and feared House Committee on Un-American Activities, and as well its successor committee, the House Internal Security Committee. Both had distinct and unique jurisdictional responsibilities, so the 1969 reforms of the committee only demonstrated HCUA’s investigations needed to be expanded, not redirected.
Congress also must renew its responsibilities under its Art. I Militia clauses. A new Art. I department is needed, the Dept. of the Militia (DOM). This citizen-focused, citizen-staffed internal security department should have responsibilities under both the Congress and the 50 states. One of the problems of the Deep State is that there is no intervening power. And certainly one that is powered by the acts of ordinary citizens acting under the authority of the 1787 Constitution.
DOM would be the counter to today’s massive abuse of authority, with investigatory powers as well as at least contain two divisions worth of mechanized infantry, combined with armor, artillery, and air support, to give it the teeth needed to stop cold these kinds of unconstitutional actions. A new Art. III court system set up by Congress under its Art. I powers would handle DOM voluminous case load.
Would such a department be vulnerable to abuse? No more so than any other human institution today. But if you have the faith in the average decent American ultimately to do the right thing, than DOM has more good than evil within its command structures. (If you want to have mandatory prayer services as part of its ROE, I’m not going to stand in the way. Neither will anyone else, if you know what I mean and I think you do.)
I haven’t heard of any GOP candidate take these next steps to permanently removing the neo-Marxist heresy from our nation. Have you?
