   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.

   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.
