January 6 committee ramps up efforts to uncover funding behind Capitol riot

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Anew court challenge is revealing how the January 6 House select committee is demanding bank records, providing a new window into its effort to understand what propelled the violence that day.

The previously undisclosed records request, revealed in a new lawsuit, is the first confirmed subpoena issued by the committee for information directly from a bank. The committee, which has moved aggressively in recent weeks, is using its subpoena power to follow the money surrounding the pro-Donald Trump rallies leading up to the insurrection.

Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich disclosed in a lawsuit Friday night that the committee had demanded financial records, prompting him to sue in an effort to prevent the committee from obtaining them. The bank, JP Morgan, was planning to oblige, giving him a deadline of 5 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve to show he legally blocked the subpoena, according to a letter the bank sent to him that he included in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also discloses that Budowich has already supplied the committee with more than 1,700 pages of documents and provided about four hours of testimony.

5. I'd say we're well on the way to understanding the financing of the January 6 rally and

insurrection. Of course proof is needed to take legal action. Go to it, Committee and DOJ!

Firms linked to the Jan. 6 rally and paid by Trump's fundraising network include Event Strategies Inc., which was named in the rally permit and reportedly employed two of the rally organizers. The company has been paid more than $2.5 million since the start of the 2020 election."

An heiress to the Publix Super Markets chain, with the help of Alex Jones, funded the "Save America" rally that preceded the January 6 insurrection. Julie Jenkins Fancelli, daughter of Publix founder George Jenkins, provided more than half the cost of funding for the event - amounting to about $300,000 of the half a million-dollar price tag."

There's much more info at the links provided, so let's all support the Committee and
the DOJ!

6. This is what matters

Follow the money, see who paid for the insurrection. Charge them, jail them, make the country safe for Democracy.

7. Who paid for

The busses and other transportation, the banners cut to fit at the Capitol, other transportation, sound equipment, legal fees to file the permit applications and a host of other stuff. Follow the money, it will lead to the truth.

8. That idiot Judge Jeannie apparently paid for rooms, food, etc, at that hotel where they plotted.

9. Round up the usual suspects

Donald Trump from Trump Campaign Funds

The Mercers .... Black Conservatives for Trump

Ginni Thomas, Wife of Clarence, had something to do with the coup's funding

Also please look @ Roger Stone, Rudy G. & others like them too.

10. Be sure to check out Betsy deVos and Ginnie Thomas, folks.

11. I had forgotten about Betsy DeVos and her brother and founder of Blackwater, Eric Prince.

Would be nice to see some phone records from those two.

12. Outstanding development/news

Very interesting that the Congressional Jan 6 select committee is doing all of the investigative work the DOJ/FBI should have already done at the onset. IOW. Congress is doing the work/sweat labor those Federal Criminal Investigative Departments are much better equipped to do.

At some point in the future, it will be revealed to some extent why this work fell entirely on the shoulders of a committee who are tasked with many other congressional matters and operating with a very limited capacity, having to jump through myriad of hoops Justice dept wouldn't have to.

We are fortunate they stepped up to the plate, to do the job of the DOJ and the FBI. I suppose it's possible at some point, they will reveal to the public why it fell entirely on their shoulders. Kudos to the Committee.
