Insight: If House majority flips, Trump subpoena could prove moot

By Paul Kane
The drama of voting to subpoena a former president will now meet a political and legal reality: Donald Trump can probably just slow-walk this demand for his testimony into extinction.

The Jan. 6 committee’s lease on life depends almost entirely on the midterm elections next month, and if current trends hold, Republicans are likely to flip more than the five seats they need to take the majority.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), already issued a subpoena by the committee, has said he has no intention of continuing the panel’s work — or at least not in the current manner of the probe’s focus on Trump.

What's the statute of limitations on Trump's crimes?

Trump wants to testify before the J6 committee — but only if they broadcast his testimony live: NYT

I don’t know why you guys keep falling for the Trump clown show.

for trump, personally, i would be humiliating to sit in front of a camera (AKA in front of the nation) and be forced to plead the fifth to basic questions such as "did you participate in the attempts to illegally overthrow the 2020 election?" or "did your actions violate the US constitution?".  i seriously wonder if he would have the personal discipline to keep his mouth shut when most needed.  would not want to be the lawyer sitting beside him whose job it is to tell him to shut up.

i would absolutely take that deal if i was the J6.

problem her is he is going to run the clock and the GQP will win the house in the mid terms

I think in the end, the Dems should have done all this in the spring…they wanted this stuff to be the 'October Suprise'


Only thing we are going to hear from Jan 2023 on is Hunter Biden…

He is a con man. You can’t make deals with this guy. He has no word. Have we learned nothing?

Why do think he would plead the 5th?

I think he would take the opportunity to ignore every question, be repugnant and say whatever the hell he wants and fire up his base on National TV.  He can't get that kind of airtime right now without it.

Except he might not trust himself not to have a Jack Nicholson “I ordered the code red” moment


But..yeah, pretty much…

I can’t think of any situation where he has acted when he hasn’t been in total control of the situation or owned the location.  So I vote no show or Fif Fif Fif (and in that case only if there are no cameras)

It’s definitely a tough call.

You're god damn right he ordered the Code Red! 

jez…little late now

Attorney General Merrick Garland will name special counsel in Trump criminal probes (2)

One is focused on whether Trump broke the law and obstructed justice in connection with his removal of hundreds of documents from the White House, which were shipped to his residence at Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The other probe is related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by a mob of Trump supporters.

He is doing it cause trump announced he is running for president

yeah, but wouldn't the smarter move to done it prior to that
now he can whine 'it's a political attack on a person running for office'

doesn't matter

Some have argued that the SC is good because the DOJ can quietly stop the investigation with out giving a reason
while a SC has to give a reason if they don't prosecute
