FUCK THIS TRAITOR
(CNN)Republican Rep. Scott Perry on Tuesday declined the House January 6 committee's request to speak with him.
"I stand with immense respect for our Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the Americans I represent who know that this entity is illegitimate, and not duly constituted under the rules of the US House of Representatives," Perry wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. "I decline this entity's request and will continue to fight the failures of the radical Left who desperately seek distraction from their abject failures of crushing inflation, a humiliating surrender in Afghanistan, and the horrendous crisis they created at our border."
The committee asked the congressman to speak with them voluntarily on Monday.
"At this time, the Select Committee seeks your voluntary cooperation," wrote Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who chairs the committee.

If I call the FBI hot line about a possible serious crime, I'm guessing that someone will investigate.
Maybe instead of issuing subpoenas the select committee should call the FBI hot line?

I knew damn well he would refuse. He may even defy a subpoena.
