I read they want to issue subpoenas... does the committee have the power without holding a vote?

erictjohnson.bsky.social•484 days ago

I ask cuz of this

They can issue subpoenas to their heart's content, but DOJ won't enforce anything without a floor vote to authorize the inquiry, and maybe not even then. After Gym blew off his subpoena from the J6 committee, it's laughable they would expect anyone else to comply.

That's why I asked....

It’s all they’ve got - endless culture wars & tax cuts for their billionaire donors. That’s it.

It's not like most of the GOP House members were going to make anything better if they were actually governing.

We don't have may competent news networks left in this country. They all are so slanted their reporting is about useless.

Would be interesting to know what the cost is of the govt resources that the godly deficit-hawks have expended chasing Hunter, as well.

Don't forget deliberately crippling the military.

Oh I was just working on the House side. This doesn't include the damage Tuberville has done.

Can't tell the all ways the GOP is destroying America without a score card.
