Schiff says Jan. 6 committee preparing to refer Meadows for criminal contempt charges

WASHINGTON — The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will "move quickly" to refer Mark Meadows, Trump's former White House chief of staff, for criminal contempt for not cooperating with its investigation, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said on Sunday.

“I'm confident we'll move very quickly with respect to Mr. Meadows also, but we want to make sure that we have the strongest possible case to present to the Justice Department and for the Justice Department to present to a grand jury,” Schiff, who is chair of the House Intelligence Committee and a member of the Jan. 6 committee, said on Meet the Press.

Meadows refused to meet congressional investigators on Friday. About 10 minutes after the 10 a.m. session had been scheduled to begin, around a dozen committee staff and investigators walked out of the room along with the stenographer.

"But when ultimately witnesses decide, as Meadows has, that they're not even going to bother showing up, that they have that much contempt for the law, then it pretty much forces our hand and we'll move quickly," said Schiff, who added that the committee may also recommend the DOJ file criminal charges against other witnesses who refuse to cooperate, but said the committee will only pursue that option as a last resort.

Before Soros Took Over Our Minds

We memorized phone numbers. We memorized driving directions. No one knew what we looked like. No one could reach us. We were gods.

I think I Spotted Antifa

"Doughnut"

Wearing a military beret and a Polish wartime resistance armband, 94-year-old Wanda Traczyk-Stawska stunned the crowd at a pro-EU rally when she thundered "Be quiet, stupid boy! You lousy bastard" at a member of a far-right group attempting to disrupt the gathering over a loudspeaker.

...................

Traczyk-Stawska was a 12-year-old girl guide when the German army invaded Poland. She joined the resistance movement and went on to carry out acts of sabotage under the sweet pseudonym of "Doughnut".

At the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising on August 1, 1944, she was one of 50,000 fighters to revolt against the Nazis -- as well as a rare girl with a machine gun, an assignment usually reserved for men at the time.

FOX Invite Fine Print:"Attendees must show COVID vaccine card OR proof of a negative COVID test"

Just got an email from Fox Nation, inviting me to join Fox hosts like Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, and Bongino "in person" at their awards show.

Small print at the very end: "Attendees must show either a COVID vaccine card OR proof of a negative COVID test"
