Breaking: House Select Committee subpoenas 11 "Stop the Steal" organizers

The select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has issued its second round of subpoenas, this time targeting individuals involved in the planning and organization of the "Stop the Steal" rally that served as a prelude to the riot at the US Capitol and other rallies organized in the lead up to the day of the attack.

7. They were two of the most prominent organizers of the Insurrection

Jones obtained a permit through a fake front organization for a rally at the East side of the Capitol, which never occurred, instead the crowd that gathered for the rally breached the barriers and entered the Capitol.

The woman named in the CNN article was associated with them.

Yes, I get that this may be the first wave of several waves of subpoenas targeting the organizers of the insurrection- just wanted to speak out on two of the most notorious names among that group.

...is that Alexander & Jones sure out to be on that list.
Not have to, or better be, but it sure seems appropriate.
And, if Alexander is on that list, he might be hard to serve. He seems pretty slippery & shadowy.

10. I keep hearing about subpoenas being issued. Can we assume that depositions are happening

in the background, or are we waiting for public hearings at some point in the future? Just wondering what the process is.

12. The people being subpoenaed are not likely to be giving depositions

However, it's possible that other cooperating witnesses are.

26. No -

They're being subpoenaed to testify. But not via deposition. A deposition is giving testimony under oath but is different than giving testimony at a hearing. Among other things, depositions are not conducted in public (although the transcript can be made public).

People who are giving testimony via deposition are probably testifying voluntarily and are giving background information to the committee.

28. So basically this is ground level investigations, off the record so to speak, to see what everyone's

story is. Try to get some facts, but possibly see where their testimony changes when under oath. Am I getting warmer?

BTW, thanks for your replies. I get the sense you’re a lawyer and likely know what you’re talking about.

29. Yes and no

Some of the interviews/depositions are of friendly witnesses to give the committee important information - although one of the reasons they do it under oath is to pin them down (or just capture the facts whole still fresh in their minds).

But they don't take depositions of all witnesses. They hear from many of them - particularly those under subpoena - for the first time when they testify in the hearings.

21. Unfortunately in this country that's how most of the prizes are won.

And I don't mean just the game show participants.

Also the stock market speculators, the con artists, the snake oil and MLM marketeers, the politicians, the advertisers, the MSM.
(This list could keep on going so I'll stop.)
Wait - I forgot all the preachers, etc.
