Showing Original Post only (View all)CNN: "Subpoenas are coming "soon" from Jan. 6 select committee, panel chair says" [View all]
Chair Bennie Thompson told CNN that the select committee will soon issue subpoenas, but he declined to say who would be targeted.
He said the panel wont resort to writing letters for voluntary information and will instead go straight to subpoenas.
Letters just lengthen the time. We just want to get it all done, he told CNN off camera.
Thompson also said they plan to meet with Attorney General Merrick Garland soon because they want access to all relevant data. He added they would seek information gathered by impeachment investigators about the Jan. 6 attack.

Good. Screw the letters. Go right for the subpoenas.
And I hope they have plans for what to do about those who ignore them.
