I predict many. They sold their souls a long time ago. It wont bother them in the slightest.

And I believe the committee members will ask questions in such a way as to let the repubes know there is incriminating evidence against them.
Like when Sen Kamala Harris questioned Barr under oath. She was relentless and she clearly showed that he was lying. We just had a criminalized and compromised DOJ at the time.
Were under a new administration now. I bet the sedition caucus is scared shitless.

(21,234 posts)just because they can't claim executive privilege doesn't mean they won't challenge subpoenas. The thing that Democrats have going for them is that the DOJ will back the select committee in court.

(2,042 posts)Is it the DOJ or the SC? Hopefully the former, because the outcome would be quick and favorable. If the latter, it'll take forever and the outcome isn't certain.

(15,232 posts)It would be a form of open rebellion if you have gone this far why not go all the way? It will then fall on the commission to do something about it. Claiming martyrdom is all they have left.

(21,234 posts)but then the committee has to take them to court where our DOJ will represent the committee.
The tactic for the GQP when not in power has always been Delay Delay and Obstruct until election season.

(21,234 posts)we need to find out how many were complicit in the insurrection. Were they involved in Capitol tours? Who disabled the panic buttons? Who financed the insurrection?
The most chilling thing one of the officers testified yesterday was when he said that the terrorists wanted to kill Democrats to gain a majority in the House. Wow, no one is considering that possibility.
