January 6 committee receives "thousands" of documents before deadline
Source: CBS
Hours before a Friday deadline, the select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol said it received "thousands" of pages of documents.
The committee did not describe the documents further, but it had sent letters to multiple agencies seeking records related to the gathering and dissemination of intelligence before the attack, security preparation at the Capitol and the planning of events in Washington, D.C., leading up to the attack. The committee had given agencies a Friday deadline to disclose requested documents.
"With several hours to go before today's deadline, the Select Committee had received thousands of pages of documents in response to our first set of requests, and our investigative team is actively engaged to keep that flow of information going," the select committee said in a tweet.
"These records supplement the material we've received from other House Committees related to their earlier probes of January 6th. The Select Committee is also aware that the National Archives has undertaken the process required by law for review of presidential records," the committee added.

(4,392 posts)Will the committee tack each to the wall like genius John Nash - Beautiful Mind? Keep the mentally ill busy so they don't find the $$ connections? Yeah, follow the fiat debt of worthless value, and ask the private bank Federal Reserve Bank to ask Treasury to print off a like amount while the politicians argue about which industries to screw over by employeeing thousands of labor slaves in "infrastructure" of all kinds as the national debt climbs and we make slow adjustments to climate change - lovely!

(10,749 posts)How is the committee dealing with those who didn't respond to the subpoena? My suggestion would be to strike back very hard. This will let others know that they will also be treated harshly when they fail to respond appropriately.
