Vos sues: The Jan. 6 select committee subpoenaed Wisconsin’s House Speaker Robin Vos over the weekend for testimony about a July phone call with former President Donald Trump.

The panel is demanding his testimony by Monday, and Vos is suing to block the effort.

Vos filed the federal suit over the weekend in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. He claims the subpoena is outside the scope of the select committee’s mission and imposes an “undue burden” by requiring him to comply so quickly.

“Speaker Vos’ conversations with former President Trump pertained to a recently decided Wisconsin Supreme Court decision about Wisconsin election law and any actions that could be taken in response to this decision moving forward,” the House speaker said in the suit. “These topics do not pertain to the events of January 6th, or even (to construe the authorizing resolution broadly) the events leading up to it or its immediate aftermath.”

1. long overdue. Wisconsin pukes have not

been grilled by the pros, in general.

2. Vos wasted over 700,000 dollars on a BS election audit & his crony Gableman.

3. Yippee! Robin Vos is such a sleazebag this is not a surprise at all.

I'm sure he's involved in the whole "stop the steal scam.

9. Unfortunately, after redistricting, Vos is now my state assembly rep.

And worse, he has no Democratic opponent in November. I'm just going to leave that race blank on my ballot.

Repuke..

4. Oh, the undue BURDEN!

The burden of truth. What will they ask for next?!?

7. If forced to go, Vos will plead the 5th.

8. Ron Johnson needs a subpoena too...he was only "part of the insurrection for a few seconds", but..

11. How did WI get so fucked up in the last 15 or so years?

12. They have a long track record.

They actually reelected Senator McCarthy after he was censored.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Good point. I guess it has deep roots. A look at KKK "enrollment" by State is also revealing. IL,

IN were high numbers; can't recall WI ranking.

14. We really went downhill when Scott Walker got elected. Pure sleaze and he brought in more

stinking sleaze year after year to work for him.

15. That's what I thought. Have a co-worker from WI. "They're crazy." (relatives included..)
