The House Select Committee charged with investigating the Jan. 6th Capitol riot is backing off its immediate push to obtain records from the Republican National Committee (RNC). The panel admitted that the schedule recently set by a three-judge appeals court panel would prohibit the committee from obtaining the records in time for the public hearings set to begin next month.
Politico reports:
“The grant of an injunction pending appeal and the schedule set by this Court for this case makes clear that the information at the core of this case … cannot be obtained, analyzed, and utilized by the Select Committee in the public hearings scheduled during the next several weeks,” House counsel Douglas Letter wrote in a Sunday evening filing.
Now, the House panel is asking for the case to be resolved by late August.
“The Select Committee is considering the information it now has and might receive regarding efforts by multiple entities to spread knowingly false statements alleging that the 2020 election was stolen,” Letter wrote in Sunday’s filing.
The legal fight is over a set of RNC records held by Salesforce, a third-party vendor that handled the party’s data and digital operations.
The RNC quickly sued to block the select committee subpoena, claiming the effort was a guide to access to internal records and data of a rival political party. But a District Court judge, Tim Kelly, rejected the RNC’s claims. The Trump-appointed judge ruled that the select committee had sought a narrow set of records that fit their mission to unearth the truth behind the attack on the Capitol. Earlier this month, the RNC appealed Kelly’s decision and sought an injunction from the appeals court. A three-judge panel — made up of Trump’s only three appointees to the 11-member court of appeals — granted the injunction last week and set a schedule for arguments that extended to mid-June.
“But the Select Committee recognizes that the Salesforce documentation will not be available on the timeline required for use in its hearings. The Select Committee no longer seeks the Salesforce documentation on a highly expedited schedule, and the Select Committee will continue to evaluate its needs for information on these and other related issues as additional material potentially becomes available from other sources.”
The committee is now asking the panel to set a briefing schedule that begins June 24 and extends to late August.
That’s what I call job security.
Jail them all
Pelousy and her ilk need to be sitting in GITMO.
However, by law we can’t send US citizens to GITMO unless captured on the battlefield with an enemy.
“Send in the clowns don’t bother they’re here”
Wow, we all saw what happen, blm and antifa caused the mess, they were bussed in by Pelosi. The police waved all the peaceful people in, this was a setup from the get go. Every rat and rino should be arrested and tried for treason at GTMO.
Please familiarize yourself with the Constitution and US Law and try not to out Democrat the seditious socialist Democrats.
All Pelosi has done since becoming Speaker is go after Trump. She has accomplished absolutely nothing to help the American people. She is a totally evil, corrupt politician whose time is done.
I believe that all of the idiots in the J6 Select Committee are all working to put themselves behind bars. It will happen! The Committee consists of criminals that should not be trying to find criminals. It is just their way of staying out of criminal trouble and they can’t. Too many of us know about their criminal activities.
This is not a ‘Select Committee’ or panel or whatever you want to call it does not seek the truth. It is an Inquisition. A doomsday jury looking for a crime and a criminal to charge. How about the two conservative women who were murdered by Capitol Cos. Ashlee Babbit, shot in the throeat by a Capital Cop. Roseanne Boilin, clubbed to death by a female Capital Cop. Both murders are well documented on film being held back by the Inquisition. Why isn’t Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of the Capitol Protection Force being questioned as to why she withheld President Trumps, documented call for extra police to direct crowd control expected on Jan ^. . Why are demonstrators being held, without bail or formal charges for almost a year? Why are our jails holding these prisoners illegally reported to be so filthy.
Tell me this,, Why is Pelosi holding back video of Jan 6? Some of video that did get out shows guards holding open the door for the so called rioters, and another that shows dem operatives in the crown pushing then to go in.
The J-6 committee wants to claim that Donald Trump and the Republicans knew they were lying when they complained the 2020 election was stolen. Maybe they should reconsider; independent investigations have shown that even if the election wasn’t stolen, there was an awful lot of illegal and unethical activity that appeared to give an unfair advantage to Democrat candidates. See, for example, “2000 Mules.” It is a matter of public record that Democrat Secretaries of State illegally changed the election rules in a number of states, and that Mark Zuckerberg’s “Center for Technology and Civic Life” effectively bribed a number of jurisdictions to let CTCL teams (later determined to be Democrat Party activists) take over the elections process, where it appears that at a minimum they could preferentially let flawed Democrat mail-in ballots be cured or passed ballots with questionable signatures or improper dating. This is contrary to state laws requiring party balance in the elections process and specifically prohibiting election workers from seeking an advantage for any political party or candidate.
Republicans should agree to appear before the committee if and only if the committee will permit thorough and fair examination of the evidences of election improprieties, including the appointment of real Republican members chosen by Republicans; this has a direct bearing on the claims the committee is making.
False statement my ass!! Is has been proven these mongrels stole this election!!! That imposter and that retard Kamala never could draw a crowd, stayed in his basement never even came close to winning the 2020 election!!!!
