Or, stated differently: What's Bannon's angle? Why not simply appear before the committee and do Reagan's "I don't recall"?John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:09 pm They're gonna haul Bannon in front of a useless congress to say nothing for x number of hours?
Nobody cares if congress calls them out. The NFL blew 'em off, two weeks past the "deadline", not a peep. Hell, they can't even be bothered to police themselves. There's what, 143 mutts in the house subject to the 14th Amendment and not a word about that, either. Bunch of bought off useless morons, more worried about pension after 6 years than doing anything useful. Fark 'em.bob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:40 pmOr, stated differently: What's Bannon's angle?

I'm guessing Bannon believes the grifting opportunities will outweigh his sentence (which likely will be very light).
Those "ballots" would be the 50 letters of the Secretaries Of State to Congress. I am not sure if the original letters would have even have to be physically present during the Electoral College proceedings. If yes, those pages would have been with Pence. But I more think that the already were kept in the Congress archive vaults. Pence worked simply off a list of the numbers. Even if the letters to Congress were to be destroyed the National Archive has the other copy.RVInit wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:41 pm Not really the commission, but they may be interested in this:

The Senate Parliamentarian's office was the most pillaged among the rooms in the Capitol. Karl explained that it was clear those going through the office were looking for something specific and he thinks it was the Electoral College ballots.

Senate staff saved paper Electoral College ballots before pro-Trump rioters broke into the chamber during a formal count Wednesday, according to a Democratic senator.
Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon tweeted a photo of cases containing the state-level presidential election results, which Congress had planned to tally Wednesday before the president’s supporters stormed into the legislature. Merkley said, “If our capable floor staff hadn’t grabbed them, they would have been burned by the mob.”
No, He might go to jail for a year, but believe it or not, nothing about his indictment compels him to appear.John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:09 pm Ok, they arrested a moron. What does that prove? That they can vaguely care and snag a shitstain every once in a while. Doesn't change anything except he doesn't have direct contact with other shitstains in his circlejerkdom.

The former commanding general of the D.C. National Guard is demanding the retraction of an inspector general report that says Army leaders had to tell him twice to send troops to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, saying Thursday that the allegation is false and must be corrected.
William J. Walker, now retired from the military and serving at the Capitol as House sergeant-at-arms, said in an interview that he never received a call from Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy at 4:35 p.m., as alleged in a report by the Defense Department’s acting inspector general, Sean O’Donnell. Walker, repeating comments he made during sworn Senate testimony in March, said that he received authorization to deploy troops at 5:08 p.m. and immediately dispatched those forces, already loaded onto several buses to depart the D.C. Armory.
“Every minute mattered. You have to understand: These are my friends here,” Walker said, referring to his close relationship with former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund, who was forced to resign following the attack, and other law enforcement officials. He called the report “incomplete,” “inaccurate” and “sloppy work.”
Walker’s objection to the published details in the report injects fresh tension into the ongoing political turmoil and finger-pointing stemming from the assault, in which supporters of President Donald Trump smashed their way into Congress in a violent attempt to halt certification of the electoral college count affirming his defeat. The Capitol was breached at 1:50 p.m., but National Guard members were not sworn in to assist police until 5:40 p.m., after senior Army officials settled on a plan.
"Oh, see, you wanted the Committee *on* Redundant Investigations. We're the Committee *of* Reundant Investigations. We're the committee that other committee is investigating. Try Room A112, instead."
IIRC the House has a select committee on the COVID response.
One committee looks like every other committee.
