The House Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol has issued subpoenas to House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other House Republicans who have declined the panel’s requests to voluntarily cooperate.
The group also subpoenaed Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
The round of subpoenas, which the committee announced on Thursday, is the first time the panel has issued subpoenas to sitting members of Congress. It is extraordinarily rare for a Congressional committee to do so.
“The Select Committee has learned

The real Insurrection occurred on November 4, 2022, which began the bloodless takeover of this country's government and was made final on January 6, 2021. The Black Royalty, Illuminatti, Deep State, and Global Cabal of powers took over the control of this country totally and completely. The doors of the US Treasury have been thrown wide open and we are being robbed every day of billions and trillions of dollars in broad daylight by our elected enemies within who participated in the coup. The real outrage is the Democrat's crafty J6 committee to investigate the "insurrection" perpetrated and inspired by President Trump, which is their smoke and mirrors tactic to take attention from the reality that the election was stolen by massive fraud and well-coordinated conspiracy. Add up the 2000 Mules, with the evidence Mike Lindell gathered, and put it all together and it is clear that Trump won it in a massive landslide victory. So this sham fake "Select Committee" of liars schemers fraudsters liars and guilty participants in the real Insurrection can play their games and the willing participants in the state-run fake media can play a part in the Psyop of brainwashing the people all they want. We all know what happened and we are executing our own Psyop to bring the truth and reality out in broad daylight. We are the Ghost Army of patriots and we will not be defeated.

I am glad to see the Democrats treat the Republicans like dirt. Perhaps the Republicans will learn they have to fight, but I doubt they will change. Have the Republicans ever issued a subpoena?

Maybe now McCarthy will regret playing footsie with Pelosi. The GOP needs to think twice about making this guy Speaker.

McCarthy's on their side. He'll go gladly and do whatever he can so pump the lies about "Trump insurrection" - which never happened.

This committee made up of evil individuals should give it up. They are on a witch hunt.

Sure. Let 'em subpoena them until the cows come home.
Find them in contempt of Congress (well, in contempt of Nancy Pelosi and her witch-hunt-where-the-witches-are-doing-the-hunting committee). Heck, even toss them in jail.
Yeah, that'll look real good just before election: "Five Republican Congressmen, including Minority Leader, Jailed." Just like your every-day dictator does with his political enemies. That'll be a winning issue for the Democrats in November.
I don't know about you, but my answer to this subpeona would be to ignore it. Or, if I have to go, insist on a public, open session and use the Hillary Clinton defense: "I can't recall."

#2, I believe that some Republicans who are subpoenaed will turn on President Trump. I believe McCarthy will absolutely go belly up because he knows if President Trump runs again and wins, he will most likely, not be the Speaker. Far too many MAGA candidates are running and I doubt they will support him. Many Republicans are as committed as democrats are to get rid of PDT and shut down his supporters.
What transpired on November 3rd was a coup d’etat and many Republicans were in on it. Just look at the ones who soon after November 3rd urged President Trump to move on. The theft of the Presidential election in 2020 will go down as the most egregious political crime in this country’s history. I want to believe we can expose this for what it is and the plotters will revealed and receive the same punishment reserved for traitors. It’s getting harder to imagine that happening with such a violent, vicious and lawless administration in power. Democrats believe they are invincible. How could they believe anything else? Look what they have done so far.

Payback for this, if GOPe wins the majority, will be fast and ugly. One doesn't make a fool of the potential future Speaker and NOT rue the day. Basement corner offices will be the start...

This is mostly about the mid-term elections to attack republicans and deflect all of the problems the dems have brought against America.

The wimpy Republicans had better stop playing tiddlywinks with the aggressive and corrupt leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats, because they could find themselves in jail with the other January 6th “Insurrectionists” if Biden and the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats thought they could get away with slamming jail cell doors behind those wimpy Republicans.

I expect (and demand) that when the Republicans take over the House in 2023, that they use the "precedent" of the one-party-rule of Nasty Pelosi for at least a year against the Democrats -- and point out that it is the "precedent" as set by Pelosi and her goons.
No committee assignments for Schiff, Swalwell, Tlaib, and Omar.. All Democrat committee assignments to be approved by the Speaker. Yeah, approve most of them, but reject one or two here and there. Minority party to have few, if any, opportunities to call witnesses, request documents, etc. Maybe appoint a turncoat Democrat or two instead (although that may be a questionable decision).
Anything the Dems did since 2019 as the majority party is fair game for the Democrats as the minority party in 2023.
Of course, assuming the Republicans win the House in 2023 (and I don't put that in the "for sure" category just yet -- many of our establishment/RINO Republicans are adept at sntaching defeat out of the jaws of victory), I expect Ms. Pelosi to not-so-quietly retire by the end of January 2023.
Maybe, just maybe, if the Democrats in the House can show some civility during 2023, there can be some softening of the rules. But I doubt the Dems have the ability to do so.

there is nothing valid or legal in the, first, the organizing of this Inquisition and secondly, there is nothing to prevent these repubs from taking up the time of the inquisitor and drive them all completely bonkers
- I would love to see that happen and if that doesn't ignite some give back from the repubs I have not faith in their ability to govern our country, at all
- what's that thing about "walking the plank" and "hang them from the highest yardarm", sounds like proper retribution to me

I'm not putting an ounce of hope in spineless Republicans; I'm living in Realville.
