Now McCarthy has refused...not on any legal grounds...he just doesn't want to make trump look bad.
Stunning isn't it? Terrorists attack the consulate in Benghazi and the republicans hold 8 investigations/hearings in an attempt to pin something on Hillary Clinton....they don't know what, but they're bound and determined to keep it in the headlines....Congressional oversight is now a thing of the past unlesss they start putting people in jail for not showing up.
So that leaves the executive and a court system that is sclerotic and takes months (if not years) to render a final verdict; often after the subjects of the law suits have left their government jobS.
sO Really there is no oversight of the executive branch. Absolute power corrupts absolutely...so get ready for a wild ride.

A president breaks the law by withholding a congressional appropriation and blocking the investigation...but that is ok.
The president invites a mob to DC for a "wild" rally. Motivates their anger with lies about the election. Convinces them that they need to stop the count by fighting like hell and still is not held to any kind of responsibility for it...
And now they argue that the investigation into that riot has no legislative purpose.
As much as these disgraceful Republicans whine about the January 6 Committee, they don’t even need the Committee to tell Americans what they know about what went down on January 6.Now McCarthy has refused...not on any legal grounds...he just doesn't want to make trump look bad.
There's nothing he could say that would make Trump look bad. After a little over a year of Bare Shelves Biden, right now Trump looks like God by comparison.Now McCarthy has refused...not on any legal grounds...he just doesn't want to make trump look bad.
140 cops needed medical attention it was so peaceful.There's nothing he could say that would make Trump look bad. After a little over a year of Bare Shelves Biden, right now Trump looks like God by comparison.
In any case, President Trump did nothing wrong on Jan 6. A peaceful assembly is provided by the United States Constitution .

Did he say that, or are you just assuming? Maybe he refuses to be part of this bad joke. How many Republican picks are on the committee vs how many were supposed to be on it? It looks to me like there is no real republican representation, and the main criteria for being on the committee is rabid anti-Trumpism.Now McCarthy has refused...not on any legal grounds...he just doesn't want to make trump look bad.

Trump has said:Now McCarthy has refused...not on any legal grounds...he just doesn't want to make trump look bad.
Trump’s cronies in the House don’t even cite a legally recognized defense when refusing to testify. They just refuse.Trump has said:
“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
“The mob takes the Fifth."
Pelosi rejected two of the five McCarthy picks and for obvious reasons. McCarthy pulled the other three. Jordan isn't a conservative. He's just a loud mouthed Trumpist. He had no intention of participating in an investigation and you know it. He is now refusing to answer questions about his communication with Trump. If your best buddy were accused of a crime and the court had reason to believe you had spoken on the phone with him during the crime...you think you could refuse to testify?Did he say that, or are you just assuming?

Pelosi rejected two of the five because they aren't rabid anti-Trumpers, like all the others on the committee. The republicans were supposed to pick 5 members, and they didn't get the 5, so I wouldn't give any support to this sham. I would object to a committee investigating Obama kicking out anyone that didn't agree with the KKK.Pelosi rejected two of the five McCarthy picks and for obvious reasons.

Your main criteria for accepting that the members are republicans is blind support for Trump.
The ones who were withdrawn by the GOP leadership are not on the committee. True.Did he say that, or are you just assuming? Maybe he refuses to be part of this bad joke.

Yes, you can refuse to testify. It’s your Fifth Amendment right and McCarthy’s too!Pelosi rejected two of the five McCarthy picks and for obvious reasons. McCarthy pulled the other three.

he is not refusing to testify based on the 5th.Yes, you can refuse to testify. It’s your Fifth Amendment right and McCarthy’s too!
you need to look back at republican investigations of the past...one of which had 11 republicans and no dems.Pelosi rejected two of the five because they aren't rabid anti-Trumpers, like all the others on the committee. The republicans were supposed to pick 5 members, and they didn't get the 5, so I wouldn't give any support to this sham. I would object to a committee investigating Obama kicking out anyone that didn't agree with the KKK.
Is there anyone on the committee that didn't support the failed impeachments?
"Your main criteria for accepting that the members are republicans is blind support for Trump."
You're wrong, my criteria would have been to let republicans choose their members, and let the democrats choose their members. There is no legitimacy to the committee otherwise.
You mean there is nothing he could say that would make Trump look worse.There's nothing he could say that would make Trump look bad. After a little over a year of Bare Shelves Biden, right now Trump looks like God by comparison.
