BREAKING: In a historically bold move, the Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed five House Republicans, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. (via MaddowBlog)

Early last week, after receiving an invitation from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, Rep. Mo Brooks said he had no intention of cooperating with the probe. “I wouldn’t help Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney cross the street — I’m definitely not going to help them and their partisan Witch Hunt Committee,” the Alabama Republican said.As it turns out, it’s funny that he put it that way. NBC NewsThe committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S.

It's important to emphasize that this is a historically bold move. NBC News’ report added, “With the exception of ethics committee investigations, the subpoenas arecongressional subpoenas to sitting members and will almost certainly be challenged in court.” In a written statement, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson said today, “The Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the attack on January 6th and the events leading up to it. Before we hold our hearings next month, we wished to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily.

"Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th. We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done.”

MaddowBlog Hello let me refer you to the Republicans Benghazi hearings

MaddowBlog Big deal. It’s not like they’ll show up or anything.

MaddowBlog They did not protect America! Shame they are hiding behind the Government! Expose and Prosecute! By any means necessary they all must go! DOJ?

MaddowBlog I want to be your friend

MaddowBlog And....no one will show up!!!

MaddowBlog Not so bold when they don’t get enforced

MaddowBlog The outcome of this committee is predetermined. Pelosi herself should be under investigation because she was responsible for the security of the Capital that day. She failed to secure the building and in fact allowed the police to let the protesters in.

MaddowBlog 3D chess. Here comes the appeal! Court, court, court, appeal, appeal, appeal, judges kick the can down to lower courts, this will be litigated for the next year! By then, the democrats will be out of office and the 1/6 investigation will be shelved! Checkmate!

MaddowBlog Time to do the Senators, too, hey TedCruz ?

MaddowBlog Yeah good luck with this.... If mid terms go way I think, there'll be a few Dems ducking, disappearing over the hills. Bidens' hoodoo!

MaddowBlog One of the Maleficent 5

MaddowBlog Stupid.

MaddowBlog 3D chess. Here comes the appeal! Court, court, court, appeal, appeal, appeal, judges kick the can down to lower courts, this will be litigated for the next year! By then, the democrats will be out of office and the 1/6 investigation will be shelved! Checkmate!

MaddowBlog This witch hunt has interviewed over a thousand people and have come up with zero chargeable crimes! If they investigate Pelosi and bowser, they might get some traction on somebody to charge. The previous administration offered national guards five times and were refused!

MaddowBlog Gloves are off

MaddowBlog Well done finally.

MaddowBlog For nothing, they will never show up because nothing ever happens to them 🤷🏽‍♂️

ZerlinaShow MaddowBlog We’ll it’s about ⏰

MaddowBlog TheBeatWithAri msnbc - breaking story is NOT BOLD...more like OLD. Waste of time reporting theatre. Published so when there are ARRESTS otherwise you are equally culpable. Stop slinging lies. ....Indict, arrest..or nothing

MaddowBlog To late and The Jan 6th committee know it

MaddowBlog Another witch hunt. How about investing let's go Brandon and his kid. That's easy to prove. FJB.

ZerlinaMaxwell MaddowBlog It's sad that this is being characterized as 'historically bold' when it's just plain necessary.

MaddowBlog Just remember this when the republicans take both houses in November 😂😂😂😂

MaddowBlog Dems r smart Rethugs will fight in court or ignore subpoenas either way won't play well during election Does GOP want ads saying YOU have to ans subpoenas why don't lawmakers R they above the law Americans don't like gov reps thinking they're above us

MaddowBlog Crooked Kevin needs to be questioned. ❓

MaddowBlog Setting a precedent! When the Republicans start a May 7th committee to investigate the attempted intimidation of the Supreme Court judges, I'm sure they're going to call Pelosi and Schumer!

MaddowBlog Great. Does this mean they may get a chance to participate in the televised hearings?

MaddowBlog System broken. Rule of law is a myth now.

MaddowBlog Does anybody know where I can find a biden blame game at? The stores are empty

MaddowBlog Your priorities are going to be your down fall, nobody cares about jan 6 when there working there ass off because under your hero's leadership everything is 5 times more expensive, home heating oil $8 dollars a gallon, gas $6 dollar's a gallon, we don't give a shit about jan 6.

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Biden is sending pallets of baby formula to border stations for illegals while shelves are empty of it for Americans across the country. Let that sink in. Biden cares more about illegals than Americans.

MaddowBlog The justice department needs to take strong action if they show contempt for the institution the belong to and to the constitution the swore to protect and obey.

What a truly sad day in America that we have to ask the other side if they wanted to rip up democracy. That’s 1; and then the other side requires a subpoena. You guys are beyond fake news and I would not recommend you to anyone. I state the facts it doesn't violate your TOS and Guidelines it's criticism learn to handle it you're not worthy of being called news. They still have nothing. Nothing will happen. Same as the fake dossier and no-fact impeachments.
