|    Jan 6 committee not 'aggressively pursui    |

      From: johnny@invalid.net              By Fox News Staff       Published June 11, 2022              Legal expert Jonathan Turley criticized the Jan. 6 committee for not       "aggressively pursuing" decisions made about Capitol personnel during       the riot Friday on "The Ingraham Angle."               JONATHAN TURLEY: What is really disturbing is how the committee has       tailored its mandate. They're not aggressively pursuing the decisions       on how they staffed and equipped their own personnel at the Capitol.       Many of us remarked on that day how light the security seemed to be.       The Washington Post and other newspapers have said it's simply untrue       that the National Guard was offered to people in the House and they       turned it down.               Their documents suggest that that might not be true and that, in fact,       the offer was made. But here you have Cheney herself saying, "Look,       they were told days before that this could very well get out-of-hand."       And those witnesses said — that same witness who said, "I saw hundreds       of Proud Boys marching on the Capitol," said when they approached the       Capitol, there was one officer at that first barricade. And then the       person who testified who was an actual police officer said that they       were overwhelmed. They simply didn't have many people on the barricade.               And the question is, "Why?" And those are the questions that don't seem       to be a relevant focus for this committee. Those are the questions that       would be asked if there was an opposing side, if there [were] both       parties present in force the way they usually are on committees.              https://www.foxnews.com/media/jan-6-committee-aggressively-pursu       ng-capitol-personnel-decisions-riot-jonathan-turley              The Republicans can't ask questions or call witnesses, yet the       democrats can subpoena people to appear, and have them arrested if they       refuse.              This is no hearing, it's a lynching.               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
