The Big Stall is on. Dog-ass Republicans continue to pimp for plutocracy, so their play is to delay everything in order to give themselves a chance to muddy things up enough so next year's elections are questioned to the point they can continue to claim the whole thing's fucked up, and so all you patriots out there with all the guns and cute camo outfits better rise up and enforce the minority's will...
Shit's comin' - one way or another.
Trump lawyer tells former aides not to cooperate with Jan. 6 committee
An attorney for former president Donald Trump, in a letter reviewed by The Washington Post, instructed former advisers, including Mark Meadows, Kash Patel, Dan Scavino and Stephen K. Bannon, not to comply with congressional investigators who requested documents by Thursday at midnight.
The group of former White House aides were subpoenaed by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection last month, seeking records and testimony.
Another round of subpoenas was issued by the committee Thursday for organizers of the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the riot.
Trump’s legal team argues in the letter that records and testimony related to Jan. 6 are protected “from disclosure by the executive and other privileges, including among others the presidential communications, deliberative process, and attorney-client privileges.”
It remains to be seen whether the four aides ultimately cooperate with the committee; they did not respond to repeated requests for comment Thursday.
Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich claimed in a statement that the “outrageously broad records request … lacks both legal precedent and legislative merit.”
“Executive privilege will be defended, not just on behalf of President Trump and his administration, but also on behalf of the Office of the President of the United States and the future of our nation,” Budowich added.
