On the final day of its made-for-TV hearings, the House January 6 committee voted unanimously to subpoena 45th President Donald Trump to testify before the legislators.
The House January 6 Committee indicated it would take the vote earlier today, and outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney – who was fired by her voters only months ago – confirmed the plan during the television broadcast. Her fellow outgoing congressman, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, celebrated the news on Twitter.
“We just voted unanimously to subpoena Donald Trump,” wrote the anti-Trump Republican, who reportedly plans to retire from elected office and work as a lobbyist. “Democracy demands it.”
We just voted unanimously to subpoena Donald Trump to testify UNDER OATH.
Democracy demands it.
History deserves it.#January6thCommitteeHearings pic.twitter.com/1xEfy3NHwK— Adam Kinzinger #fella (@AdamKinzinger) October 13, 2022
“It is our obligation to seek Donald Trump’s testimony,” said committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson before the vote.
Cheney appeared to accuse Trump of organizing the January 6 protests, calling him the “central player” of the day’s events.
While such a remark may raise eyebrows, CNBC notes that it came after Thompson “clarified in his opening statement that Thursday’s presentation is technically not a hearing, but a “formal committee business meeting” that happened to be broadcast on television.
The committee, whose members are all partisan anti-Trump members of Congress, have repeatedly been accused of using taxpayer dollars to create what amounts to propaganda against the former president.
This latest move may strike voters as a nakedly political attempt to force Americans to relive the drama of January 6 only weeks and days before the next election, a move Beltway pollsters have previously said should help solidify Democrats’ support.
The party now needs that support more than ever as they suffer from Joe Biden’s immense unpopularity, and a lackluster field of candidates in key Senate races.

Flashback: After Bill Ayers bombed the U.S. Capitol building, Ayers hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Ayers’s living room. Ayers also got hired as a college professor. The left doesn’t find this to be even the slightest bit embarrassing or shameful.
This didn’t bother the niggeRAT party one bit.

You were doing quite well until your last sentence. Then you showed your true colors. We conservative constitutionalists don’t want or need bigotry to drag the conservative movement down.

No, it’s a group of petulant children who “demand” it, not “democracy.”

I wonder if Soetoro/Obama`s Mother, and Bill Ayers, are Brother and Sister? That would make them Adolf Hitler`s illegitimate Children. Would explain why they are such criminals. Their Mother, was one of the Guinness Girls, who had a torrid affair, with Hitler, in the 1930s. She was later Murdered, and they told the story of how she was not quite right, in the head, and Drowned on the Property

Where did you get the idea that Stanely Dunham was the sister of Bill
Ayers? Please post a reliable reference. Also, please provide a reference that Madelyn Lee Payne was one of the Guinness Girls and had an affair with Hitler. And how was she murdered when she died from cancer in HA in 2008?
Also, even if in the very unlikely event Stanley Dunhan and Bill Ayers were brother and sister, how would that make them children of Hitler? Ayers’ parents were Mary Andrew and Thomas G. Ayers.
Now, the interesting question is where was Bsarack Jr. born? Was it in HA as claimed or was it in Kenya as I believe? If the latter, that would have made him ineligible for the presidency.

Nine self-aggrandizing, sanctimonious imbeciles smugly sitting up there “en banc” as if they are the Supremes. Wasted all of this time for the only goal they could squeeze out of this taxpayer-money-wasting sh_tshow – the “…Subpoena of Donald John Trump.” LOL, as if Contempt of Congress isn’t already an Olympic sport…with Democrats holding the greatest number of gold medals!

Totally partisan DS (donkey s***). The threat to democracy is having an unconstitutional committee filled with hacks allowing “testimony” taken under unconstitutional means (no right to cross examine or refute).
Petulant Liz’s last chance to “shine.”

I would like to ask Chaney why she didn’t read the last several days ago when Trump directed the people to go to the capital. The last sentence read Go to the Capital in peace and then go home.I guess it didn’t fit her purpose.

DON’T MESS WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC’S HIGH PLACE!
Washington DC is the the United States of America’s High Place of Idolatry, the Constitution its idol, and its Congressman and women its High Priests and Priestesses.
Idolatry is not so much about statues as it is statutes, such as what one considers the supreme law of the land.
There can only be one supreme law: 1) The Constitution, per Article 6, or 2) Yahweh’s moral law, per the Bible.
To futilely attempt to meld the two is to be as double minded as were the Israelites with Elijah on Mount Carmel: Why halt ye between two opinions? If We the People (a contemporary form of Baal) be God, serve them. If Yahweh be God, serve Him!
For more, see Chapter 3 “The Preamble: We the People vs. Yahweh” of free online book “Bible Law vs, the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at Bible versus Constitution dot org. Click on the top entry on our Online Book page and scroll down to Chapter 3.
Then Chapter 9 “Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land.”

Why did we spend all that money on a hearing that uncovered nothing?
Why were strangers showing up at the Capitol hours before Trump even finished his speech?
Why were Capitol Cops letting people into the Capitol?
Why did Pelosi decline the help of the National Guard?
Why was Ashli shot and killed?
Why was the FBI filtered into the crowds?
Why are American Citizens being held as felons for trivial crimes?
Why was Pelosi allowed to pick the Republican representatives in the hearing?
Why, Why, Why, Why, Why…………….

Very good questions that will never be answered until this current administration is voted out. Pelosi made sure that not one person on that committee was open minded and fair, but picked only Trump haters. So sad to see this country reduced to such dishonesty and trickery.

Here is the epitome of angst…and… the irony of error as described in Peter’s Principle, “Why things go WRONG!”
Along with the unquestionable collusion of Murphy’s Law, that the Judicial Authorities, FAILED to recompense, when the Trump Legal Team, …INVESTIGATION RESULTS… “PROVED many fraudulent means and methods, to CREATE A MYRIAD of VOTER LAW, ERROR & FRAUD, in several STATES.”
The added conundrum’ that ASKS MORE QUESTIONS, is the Socialist-Marxist-Democrat fiasco, of the Kangaroo Court, of many months…. That FAILED to Question or CLARIFY… “Just WHY the Pelosi, REFUSED to Employ, President Trump’s RECOMMENDED PREVENTION resources, that would have LOGICALLY PREVENTED the disorder of J6!!!” …PERIOD.

Like Obama and Biden, just give them the finger. Just let them try to arrest President Trump. The REAL shiitestorm will then blow. This lopsided affair we have lived in since Clinton has reached the boiling point. true Democracy is dead and this Republic is terminal. Read the Declaration of Independence. “…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism” has come to be, “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Sounds like “insurrectionist” words, don’t they? They should as they ARE. The English, Dutch and French citizens that dwelt in the American Colonies actually arose in insurrection against the rule of the King of England and that of the Parliament of Great Britain. Yes, they acted out against the entirety government that ruled them, not just the royal house. Those are Historical Facts, without them, the majority of us would not be here right now.
Question for the Progressive pukes in DC. Can y’all REALLY count on your army of illegal alien invaders to stand by your side? When the going gets tough, I suspect that they will get going back home. So then it will ZelenskyBiden begging for the UN to come the aid of his regime. This won’t be pretty. Civil Wars seldom are.
