reported separately that Banks"sent similarly signed letters to many other agencies — the same ones the Capitol riot committee sent its own info requests to."
The Daily Beast's piece added,"The group of federal agencies that Banks has contacted includes the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security — among others. And one of those sources said that recipients also included social media companies, like Facebook, which had also been targets of extensive evidence requests."
I've been reporting on Congress for a long while, and I honestly can't think of another instance in which a member effectively pretended — in official, written correspondence — to be a member of a committee he or she was not a part of.The original plan was for an independent commission along the lines of the 9/11 Commission.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy picked five members, including tapping Banks to serve as the ranking member. Pelosi

MaddowBlog What he did is against the law so why hasn’t this been referred to the DOJ or is the AG sitting on his hands again? I really think Biden put him in charge because he knew he wouldn’t do anything
MaddowBlog Lol 😂 I guess a wanna be 😂

MaddowBlog Jim Banks lying about his job is unacceptable. Sounds like he doesn't like his current job. Let's vote him out of his misery in 2022.
MaddowBlog Having embraced the Big Lie and emboldened the liar, no lie is too big for the GOP or too small.
MaddowBlog Fraud - what an American hero - his state must be proud
MaddowBlog They lie with impunity. Until they are held accountable for their actions, they will continue to be emboldened to greater and greater insults and threats to America.
MaddowBlog WTF?
MaddowBlog Kind of like the rigged election.
MaddowBlog So bizarre
MaddowBlog He should be censured.
MaddowBlog And what are you going to do about it
MaddowBlog He would have been but Pelosi rejected 4 republicans and only allowed her pals that hate Trump. Everyone on that committee hates Trump. You expect the American people to believe anything that comes out of a committee made of hate?
MaddowBlog This should push him off all committees he may be on
MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Lying seems to be the Republican way!
MaddowBlog doesn't that violate a few laws? Why isn't he prosecuted?
MaddowBlog Republicans lie.
MaddowBlog Typical lying has become GOP signature policy
MaddowBlog Seems like his main contention is the committee is looking at the wrong thing. Go ahead - broaden the investigation to see why the capitol was ill-prepared and undermanned. That will lead back to TFG too.
MaddowBlog Where is the ethics watchdog in the House? Is there such a thing?

MaddowBlog Yeah No Shit.... That committee was personally picked by Nancy Pelosi, and they're all corrupt Democrats.... Americaisbeingrunbyenemies
MaddowBlog Typical GQP/GOP. Just because you say it enough doesn’t mean it’s true. There’s documentation that the clear thinking folks can confirm or deny. It’s just retrumplicans who refuse to utilize out of bubble reality.
AliAvanti82 MaddowBlog He's worried about what evidence they have and what they may be getting on him and his jolly gang of seditionists. Thank you Liz Cheney for calling him out.
MaddowBlog It’s an ingrained part of the HouseGOP persona: Delusion
MaddowBlog This is a crime and he should be expelled from congress.
MaddowBlog It's republican christian law so it's legal, got it, like trump everything is legal when you can get by with everything.

MaddowBlog The problem is there are zero consequences for this behavior
MaddowBlog He needs to be brought before the House Ethics Committee and censored for his corrupt actions and lies!

MaddowBlog A Republican lying about important facts? Perish the thought!
MaddowBlog The article said Banks asked the Interior secretary to provide him with all of the information provided to the actual committee members. So Banks lied to get the information the committee received. Lying must be a requirement to be a Republican.
MaddowBlog Fraud?
MaddowBlog Felony?
MaddowBlog Jim Banks is Tucker Carlson's son's boss. That may be one reason he wants copies of the info the Select Committee is receiving. He wants to undermine them by feeding the info to twisted Tucker.
MaddowBlog Main Republican tactical paradigm is right out of the Trump playbook and is as follows: Saturate the political landscape with confusion, obfuscation, misdirection, Tap dance if you must, but above all else, avoid the truth.
MaddowBlog Why are they all sociopaths?
MaddowBlog hey banksy boy you are useless so get lost already
