The Rogue Jan. 6 Committee

 Breitbart:

The New York Times warned Saturday that Democrats are setting a dangerous precedent with the January 6 Committee, exceeding the constitutional powers of Congress in a way that Republicans can use when they take back the majority.

The Times‘ Michael S. Schmidt — who shared a Pulitzer Prize for the discredited Russia “collusion” story — and Luke Broadwater — reported that the committee ” is borrowing techniques from federal prosecutions, employing aggressive tactics typically used against mobsters and terrorists … [to] develop evidence that could prompt a criminal case” against former President Donald Trump, even though it has “has no authority to pursue criminal charges.”

The committee hopes to push Attorney General Merrick Garland to pursue charges against Trump and his associates, ignoring President Joe Biden’s repeated pledges that the Department of Justice under the Biden administration would not be used as a political weapon.

But the Times warned that Republicans could use the same tactics against Democrats if they win the 2022 midterm elections....

...

The Times notes that the committee is using subpoenas to collect personal bank information and phone records of people who have no clear connection to the January 6 Capitol riot, including attorneys for the president and his campaign.

In addition, it notes, “Mr. Trump’s allies have grown angry not just at the aggressiveness of the committee — for example, in making subpoenas public before they have been served — but also at the expansive list of people questioned, some of whom, these allies maintain, had minimal to no involvement in the events of Jan. 6.”

Some Republicans are already promising to turn the tables on Democrats if they take over the House, as many expect, in November. At a rally in Conroe, Texas, last month, former President Trump promised to investigate corruption by Biden and his family if Republicans took Congress.

The Biden family corruption should be investigated including all the Democrats who facilitated it.   The Jan. 6 efforts are looking like a witch hunt at this point.  It looks like an attempt to thwart democracy in an attempt to block another election run by Trump.
