Why Rudy Giuliani's condemnation of the Jan. 6 committee matters

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Rudy will never really cooperate with the Jan. 6 Select committee

For congressional investigators examining the Jan. 6 attack, there are few figures more important than Rudy Giuliani. He was not only a central figure in Donald Trump’s inner circle as the then-president tried to overturn his election defeat, and he not only spoke at the rally that preceded the riot, but the former New York City mayor stands accused of helping coordinate the fake-electors scheme that’s the subject of multiple ongoing investigations.....

Giuliani appeared on conservative media outlet called Newsmax last night, and shared an unhelpful perspective on the bipartisan panel:

“How can you have any confidence in this committee, which, by the way, is illegal, and doesn’t have a minority membership, and really can’t subpoena anybody?”

First, the committee is perfectly legal, and its legitimacy has been endorsed by federal courts.

Second, it does have minority membership. It doesn’t need Republican members to exist and function, but it has Republican members anyway.

Third, the House committee obviously has the authority to issue subpoenas, and as a rule, persons of interest don’t have the luxury of deciding whether to comply with subpoenas based on whether or not they approve of those who’ve issued the legal directives.

2. See, that's the thing. Those blatant lies pass for legitimate truths on Faux Snooze

3. He's trying to remain relevant. But, I guess the dripping hair coloring, his gutter mouth,

his holding a press conference in the parking lot of a lawn care company (? I think). And losing his lawyer certifications doesn't help.

He's over the hill, riff raff on the winds, a worthless toady.
