Of course they won’t cooperate, but I’m wondering if this is indicative of new evidence?

Nah. Dems trying to cooperate and give them a chance to explain themselves. Here’s hoping once everything gets revealed, all these traitorous house members lose in the midterms.

Lose? Just enforce the expulsion from Congress punishment and be done with it.

Yeah, here is to hoping that all the people that haven't cared about criminal behavior by Republicans before start caring about criminal behavior by Republicans this time.

Of course it will. But how can a soon to be House Speaker argue that Congressional subpoenas don't matter. I know the Fox News crowd won't care, but what about all the other people Congress may want to subpoena?

It seems that Committee staff, off the record, are hinting that they have new evidence not yet revealed that needs to be discussed with these members. Could be a way to trap someone in a lie ahead of public hearings. Could also be a polite way of letting them know to lawyer up.

Would love to see how Mo Brooks avoids service again—maybe his wife can pick this one up too.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill has some information about this tour on Jan 5th. I also remember a story told by Rep. Jim Clyburn. He has 2 doors to his office. One marked and one unmarked. The terrorists that day skipped the marked door and tried to breach the unmarked door.

Sherrill Comments On Jan. 6 Committee Investigation Of Capitol Tours - MyVeronaNJ
 
But I don’t get the tours, why wasn’t that the first thing that was looked into? Pelosi said no tours because of covid. So why were there so many newly elected members with that many people there witnessed by other house members? Okay family members to celebrate being sworn in. But Boeberts gang of misfit clearly aren’t. All on camera. All had to sign in and pass security screening. But yet these idiots protest their innocence.

Of course they're protesting their innocence, just like a child caught red-handed with a hand in a cookie jar.
 
So.... If Trump "is" indicted before the midterms, and republicans take the house and senate in the midterms, and.... republicans shut down the investigating committees, is Trump STILL INDICTED?

Can the republican control of the house and senate also shut down an indictment?
Do we even care????

The House doesn't "indict" people, they refer people to Justice for prosecution. The most they can do is hold people in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena. Even lying to Congress would require a referral to the FBI to actually prosecute, and last I checked they rarely do (unless you lied to the FBI.)

Holy crap why do people think the DOJ is affected by congress. And even if the make investigations to Biden, Harris and Pelosi and refer to DOJ, as if Garland going to do anything towards a sitting president.

DOJ is part of the executive branch. No.

Because AGs can be removed from office by Congress.

Because everything has turned partisan and we assume that somehow, congress who oversees the doj through various committees, will use their power to corrupt them or influence them.

If ever in US history that was a solid case to remove a Justice for ethics and conflict of interest, this has to be it.

In a sane world (as the Founding Fathers pictured), getting two-thirds of the Senate and a majority in the House would be an easy removal/Impeachment. Unfortunately we no longer live in a sane world.
