, describing it as crucial to understanding the former president’s state of mind.

It’s unlikely McCarthy will comply with the request. Asked whether the panel would subpoena him to ensure his compliance, Thompson told reporters, “We will consider it.” McCarthy is the third GOP lawmaker the panel has requested to testify. The others, Reps. Jim Jordan and Scott Perry , have rejected the committee’s entreaties. Both men were key allies of Trump as he sought to subvert the 2020 election results.

Some House Republicans who wanted Trump to be purged from the party blame McCarthy for bringing Trump back into a position of influence — particularly after the House GOP leader met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago just weeks after the attack. Trump loyalists in the House, however, welcomed the move. In an interview with local California news channel Eyewitness News in late December, McCarthy was asked if he would testify before the Jan. 6 panel. He replied: "I don't have anything really to add. I have been very public, but I wouldn't hide from anything either."

Following the Omerta rules like a good mobster.

Don't ask nicely, just subpoena his ass and if he refuses, charge him w/ obstruction.

We should demand it and arrest him if he doesn't show up.

Move on
