Perry's spokesman calls assertion by U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming, a soulless lie.

FILE - Violent insurrections loyal to President Donald Trump break through a police barrier at the Capitol in Washington. Over months, the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection has issued more than 100 subpoenas, done more than 1,000 interviews and probed more than 100,000 documents to get to the bottom of the attack that day in 2021 by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

That new development came out in a lengthy preview of coming attractions for the series of seven public hearings on the attacks and the political machinations by Trump and his loyalists that the committee asserts were their gunpowder and fuse. Perry was the only Congressman mentioned by name in Cheney’s lengthy opening statement.

Instead, in the hours before the president was set to replace Rosen with Clark, Trump backed down in the face of warnings that such an action would result in mass resignations throughout DOJ and even within his White House staff, other Congressional reports on the White House’s post-election activities have stated.

Perry says he’s refusing to participate in the Select Committee’s proceedings because he doesn’t believe it’s been established according to House Rules. Cheney, in her statement Thursday evening, stated that the Clark ascension plan would be aired out more extensively in the third of the committee’s seven public sessions, which is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, June 15 at 10 a.m.

Perry needs to go.

He knew it was wrong and did it anyway

Perry’s preemptive defense: “a narrative that is being promoted by one side, for one side, for one reason”. I believe we saw Barr speaking and Ivanka speaking. What side does Perry think they are on?

Innocent people don't ask for Presidential pardons......

Scott Perry and 'multiple other Republican congressmen' sought a pardon from former President Donald Trump after Jan. 6, 2021. And, I'm sure we should go back and look at Presidential Pardons when her dad, Cheney was VP. I'll bet there were Reps asking for them & for their cronies. That wasn't a 1st for these Reps to ask for that. They should have Market drops 600 points today and someone tries to kill a Supreme Court Justices but I'm suppose to be worried about something that happened almost 2yrs ago....😜😜😜

Rep. Elise Stefanik Pushes Bill to Create Tax Break for Gun Safety CostsWhat about a tax BREAK for gun safety costs? Rep. Elise Stefanik is pushing the Firearm Proficiency and Training Act to create a tax break for Americans seeking gun safety courses. 🍀 I also propose a 100% tax deduction on all firearms & ammo purchases, since gun ownership plays a pivotal role in preserving the Republic. Mortgage interest is tax deductible & it puts the threshold of what should be tax deductible way below guns. 👍 All self-defense items should be Tax Free
