January 6 committee chair said he has signed about 20 new subpoenas that are going out 'soon'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, told reporters that he has signed about 20 subpoenas and that they are going out "soon," possibly by Friday.

Thompson would not confirm if former Trump lawyer John Eastman, who CNN has reported the committee plans to subpoena, is a part of that group, but said of the next batch of the subpoenas: "Some of the people have been written about. Some of the people haven't been written about."

Asked if there are lawmakers the committee is planning to subpoena, the Mississippi Democrat said: "Not yet."

Thompson's update comes after the committee has already issued rounds of subpoenas to a variety of individuals including some of former President Donald Trump's closest allies and individuals involved in the organization of rallies and events that preceded the riot.

1. Why would anyone honor them?

[Grasswire2]

7. and all of us remember what Lucy did to Charlie Brown. nt

[SoCalDavidS]

10. And Lucy Never Laughed

I am pretty confident that guys like Bannon, and the others playing games, are laughing every minute of the day at the fact nothing will be done to them.

[Chille]

2. Has anyone

who was subpoenaed shown up? Is Bannon going to be put in contempt? It will become a mockery if they let them ignore the subpoenas

[msongs]

4. get those sternly worded letters sent one of these days. dejoy will deliver them asap lol nt

[njhoneybadger]

5. What good is a subpoena if it's not enforced.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Am I The Only One Who Sees That This Will Contribute Heavily To Us Losing The House & Senate In '22?

I mean, what's the point in controlling Congress and the Justice Department? All of us here will still vote Democratic, but I'm guessing Independents will look at the utter lack of accountability, and either stay home or vote repub.

Oh well, not much I can do about it, except wait for the more and more likely inevitable in a year from now.

8. I am beginning to see open questioning of Dem competency to govern...

...some of the questioners even Dems.

That will be a disaster for us in the mid-terms and the GE.

Someone better kick ass soon and get things done. And make the sausage in the kitchen, not on the front porch for the world to see the process.

11. I don't see it as incompetence,

just as a galaxy-class stubborn insistence on playing nice and by the rules even as they see the repukes roll over them. Its becoming laughable.

Why bother with subpoenas if they're not being enforced? Just makes them, and us, look like jerks.

[Grasswire2]

12. I don't see it as incompetence either, de facto.

But we are going to need independent voters to not swing to GOP soon.

[grumpyduck]

13. Independent voters who swing

to the right will not be using their brains -- just trying to hang on to who they see as "the winners."

Fuck them.

[dem4decades]

14. Yeah fuck those voters we need to win. Who likes to win anyway? They voted against Trump

and thought the Democrats would hold him responsible. Who could blame them for being disappointed, most Democrats are disappointed too.
