The House select committee began its bipartisan hearings on the January 6th coup this week after Speaker Pelosi appointed two anti-Trump Repugnants to serve. In a significant development, the Department of Justice said it will not recognize claims of executive privilege by former regime members called to testify about 1/6. It is becoming increasing obvious that planning and funding took place in advance of the storming of the Capitol during counting of the Electoral College votes. US Person's opinion is this activity largely took place over the Internet, which created a violently lethal type of 'flash mob'. Whether these preliminaries reached the level of the Oval Office and its Twitter-obsessed occupant remains to be determined. The New York Times reported that the deranged would-be dictator told Justice Department officials on December 27th to find the 2020 election corrupt and “Leave the rest to me.”This directive is arguably a violation of 18 USC 610, a felony offense., One issue is clear: no unbiased investigation of the origins of the coup attempt would be complete without Individual One as a witness.
On another front the House Ways and Means committee is closer to obtaining six years of tax returns prior to Killer taking office. During his regime, the committee, which is investigating the function of the IRS presidential tax audit program, was prevented from obtaining the information. The Department of Justice issued an opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel saying the Treasury Department must turn over the returns since the Ways and Means Committee has alleged a sufficient legislative purpose for its subpoenas. Although the Treasury said it would comply with DOJ's opinion, Killer could still further litigate the matter, thus preventing full disclosure of his complex tax avoidance.
