<\/p>\nThe House Select Committee on the January 6th Insurrection is just getting off the ground. As part of their investigative process they have begun to issue subpoenas to associates of Donald Trump who aided and abetted the deadly riots that took place in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first wave of subpoenas were doled out to Trump insiders including his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, White House aides Dan Scavino, and Kash Patel, and whatever the hell Steve Bannon is (Bannon just joined the crusade of crackpots who think that Trump will be reinstated<\/a><\/strong> in “2022 or maybe before”<\/em>). To date they have all refused to comply with the subpoenas on orders from Trump<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Not only is that indicative of a consciousness of guilt, it constitutes obstruction of justice on Trump’s part. He is invoking \u201cexecutive privilege\u201d<\/em> as his justification, despite the fact that he isn\u2019t an \u201cexecutive\u201d<\/em> and doesn’t have any such power. What\u2019s more, even the President can\u2019t invoke executive privilege to cover up the commission of crime.<\/p>\n In response to the unlawful evasion of the subpoenas, the Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson posted a video to express his concern as to whether the Congress will hold the Trump insurrectionists accountable. And he wasn’t shy about his feelings on the subject (warning: video NSFW):<\/p>\n “I am hearing from multiple people now that the subpoenas are not going to be enforced. That the Commission is basically going to slow roll the entire thing. And that they are not going to take it seriously. If you don’t enforce the subpoenas, hang it up now. Just declare Trump president again and tell Steve Bannon he can be the emperor of the f**king right-wing universe and let it all go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/t.co\/LBquXXXneO<\/a><\/p>\n — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) October 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
