Hey, on the timing and the delay... part of it is that everybody's away in August. In September, many more people will be watching and paying attention. Also, it gives them time to line everything up with the subpoenas. (That's from a few House friends, just reporting.)

Here's the full Adam Kinzinger* Wolf Blitzer interview, 19 minutes.

Susan Collins says on CNN that she thinks it was wrong for Pelosi to pick which Republicans serve on the Jan 6 committee, suggests she wasn't troubled by the idea of material witness Jim Jordan serving on it because "there were many communications with President Trump" on Jan 6

Office of the "Presidency" ?

In any event, Donnie, you are not associated with that office.

Remember that "Executive Privilege" thing? I don't think you can assert it any longer.

See The Western Great Schism when the Church had two Popes. One in Rome, the other in Avignon.
https://www.christian-history.org/weste ... chism.html
The Western Great Schism began on September 20, 1378 with the election of Clement VII in Avignon, France. He was the second pope elected by the same college of cardinals in six months, and for the first time in history there were two "legitimate" claimants to be head of the church in Rome


Resolving the Western Great Schism:
An Armed Attempt
Clement chose to make peace using a method commonly employed by popes in medievel times. He gathered an army to kill or unseat his rival.

He failed.

A key House committee has postponed multiple scheduled witness interviews about Donald Trump’s final days in office, handing them off to the select panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

“As the Oversight Committee continues its crucial oversight work, we look forward to the Select Committee fully exposing the former president’s unconstitutional attacks on our democracy and attempts to stay in power after the American people voted him out of office," House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said in a statement Thursday.

The movement of those interviews with former Justice Department aides marks an abrupt change in House Democrats’ investigations of the end of Trump’s presidency. The shift underscores the growing importance of the select committee's work as it readies its next steps with a political spotlight on Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the panel's two anti-Trump Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

Former Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman will join the staff serving the House select committee in its investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, CNN reported Friday.

Why it matters: The former Air Force intelligence officer is the third Republican Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has brought on to the select panel, which Republican lawmakers have attacked as partisan.

Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) are the only Republican lawmakers on the committee, but Riggleman brings a high profile as a former member of Congress.

His experience in national security also brings added legitimacy to the investigation.

This is a must read/file: time-line of one thread of the ongoing coup in Nov/Dec 2020. Featuring Mark Meadows, Rosen, Barr, et al. Appearances by Giuliani, Milley (telling Meadows the military is "not stupid" so he'd better not mess with intel agency heads), Squidney, and Cipolloni.

https://www.justsecurity.org/77681/mark ... -election/

Do we have a thread for what should be, hopefully will be, the case against the former guy and his minions?

Mark Meadows Timeline: The Chief of Staff and Schemes to Overturn 2020 Election
Former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, was directly involved at major intersections of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. What follows is a detailed timeline of all the publicly available information.

The timeline shows why Meadows may face significant criminal exposure for directly participating in a scheme to pressure the Justice Department to investigate baseless election fraud claims. The timeline also describes a “parallel track” reportedly created by Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, and Meadows’ repeated involvement in Donald Trump and the Trump campaign’s political efforts.

Portia that is a good reference piece. A few typos but I can get past that. Hopefully they will continue it with updates.

Me too. So now we find out if DOJ / Democrats will rise to the occasion or just let the country continue to die due to their own calumny and addiction to power.
