Someone on the Twitters said Jim Banks is dressing up as the ranking member of the select committee for Halloween.

I enjoyed watching the democrat[ic] members of the committee when they had their time to ask Gaetz and Jordan questions. Jamie Raskin

It is a pet peeve of mine.

How did Cheney and friends find out? Did Haaland inform them of Banks shenanigans?

I dunno, but I doubt it is because Banks cc'd them on it!

And it says "agencies" so he circulated it around. Wonder what he thought was going to happen?

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ill.) sent numerous letters claiming to be the ranking member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the committee’s Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed Thursday.

Cheney entered copies of the letters into the legislative record during debate over whether the House should refer former Trump White House strategist Stephen Bannon to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

“He noted that the Speaker had determined that he wouldn't be on the committee, so I would like to introduce for the record number of letters the gentleman from Indiana has been sending to federal agencies, dated September 16 2021, for example, signing his name as the ranking member of the committee he's just informed the House that he's not on, and that he in fact is not on,” she said.

Spokesperson for US House Select Jan 6 Committee in response to my report below...

"We're not able to comment on our discussions with potential witnesses."

GOP Rep. Jim Banks lamented on the House floor that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi prevented him from serving on the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol on Thursday.

And yet, Banks sent a letter to at least one government agency falsely claiming that he is ranking member of the committee in his signature.



According to a letter provided to CNN, Banks wrote to the Department of the Interior on September 16 asking to be provided with any information the department turns over to the House committee.

"I ask that you provide me any information that is submitted to the Select Committee. Additionally, please include me on any update or briefing that you provide," Banks wrote.

Banks signed the letter as ranking member of the committee, while admitting that Pelosi blocked his appointment.

The letter reads: "The House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy appointed me to serve as the Ranking Member of the Select Committee. Yet, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to allow me to fulfill my duties as Ranking Member."

Banks' letter to the Department of the Interior came after the committee investigating January 6 sent requests of documents to multiple government agencies in their efforts to make progress in their investigation.

Just my arrogant opinion, but I think McCarthy is sweating the commission bigly.

Following the money
The panel has already interviewed several individuals involved with the rallies, according to multiple sources who participated in the discussions.

"There was a lot of money raised and a lot of money given, millions of dollars ... to pay for the buses and the hotels and the meals and the accommodation," Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Democrat on the select committee, told CNN this week. "A lot of the staffing of it came from people who used to work for Donald Trump on his campaign and then just went over to work on the rally stuff, so we're gonna get to the bottom of that stuff."

he undertaking is part of an ambitious investigation by the committee which, Raskin said Thursday, intends to create a "comprehensive inventory of everything that took place" that day. But unraveling finances is a complicated effort, especially with limits to the information the committee can access without subpoena fights and pressure to produce results before the mid-term election next year.

The panel has already hired additional staff, including experienced financial investigators, who are solely focused on this issue.
Among the new staffers brought on by the committee is Amanda Wick, a seasoned attorney and investigator who specializes in financial cases, according to two sources familiar with the move. "By reputation, Wick is an outstanding and very experienced litigator who understands financial evidence and the investigative pathways," Eisen said, noting she has previously worked on asset forfeiture issues and was a long-time trial attorney at DOJ.

Wick's hiring is a sign the committee is looking deeply at the financial issues, he told CNN. It also raises the question of whether the panel may ultimately make referrals on financial crimes if warranted, Eisen said.

BTW, there is an error in the Hill story.

Banks is a rep from Indiana.

Fort Wayne, to be exact.

Herrera Beutler was still missed, though, because Simpson is incorrect.

The court is not compelled to adhere to this schedule (but presumably will adopt it).

I read elsewhere the archivist intends to produce the requested documents by November 12, hence the race (ob. to SCOTUS) for an injunction.
