Today, @RepThomasMassie, @RepAndyBiggsAZ and I introduced a resolution to rescind the subpoenas issued by the illegitimate J6 Committee for Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro and withdraw the recommendations finding them in contempt of Congress.

Here is part of the new resolution declaring the J6 Select Committee illegitimate and seeking to rescind subpoenas for Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Mark Meadows, and Dan Scavino.

via thepostmillennial:
GOP Rep. Eric Burlison, Thomas Massie, and others in the House GOP have co-sponsored a resolution to rescind subpoenas from the J6 committee that were brought against Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro. This would also immediately remove the contempt of Congress convictions, as if there were no subpoenas, there would be no contempt. Bannon is required to report to prison to begin his 4-month sentence on July 1.
The document has many reasons behind the move to rescind the subpoenas, saying that it was a “solely partisan exercise determined to vilify President Trump and his advisors for the January 6th breach of the U.S. Capitol.” The only two Republicans who were seated on the committee were Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, neither of whom had the support of the GOP at large. Nancy Pelosi would not seat those requested to be on the committee by then-House Speaker McCarthy. Other reasons included that the committee report was flawed and “operated without a ranking minority leader” as is customary on congressional committees.
The resolution concludes, “There therefore, be it resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was illegitimate, that the conclusions and findings presented were predetermined due to the committee’s partisan nature, and that the courts should set aside any convictions or commute any sentences stemming from contempt reports issued by the Select Committee.”

As soon as that happens, the following ensues.

I fully support and am co-sponsoring @RepThomasMassie’s resolution to rescind the subpoenas for Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro by repudiating Nancy Pelosi’s illegitimate J6 committee.

- Congressional Investigations and Oversight:
- While the Constitution doesn’t explicitly mention congressional investigations, the courts have consistently upheld Congress’ right to undertake such activities. This authority stems from the Constitution’s text, which grants Congress “all legislative powers.”
- Over the past two centuries, Congress has conducted various investigations, including the Teapot Dome corruption scandal in the 1920s and the Watergate scandal in the 1970s.
- The Jan. 6 investigation follows this historical precedent and is not fundamentally different from previous ones1.
- Origins of the Jan. 6 Committee:
- Initially, there was a proposal for an independent commission modeled after the one that investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
- The proposed panel would have consisted of retired public officials, military leaders, and academics, rather than sitting members of Congress, aiming to insulate the investigation from partisan influences.
- However, this proposal faced opposition, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ultimately formed the Jan. 6 committee with a mix of Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans1.
