Schiff: Jan. 6 committee mulling subpoenas, testimony from riot participants
By Rebecca Beitsch - 07/26/21 04:46 PM EDT
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack may quickly move to subpoena some documents and seek testimony from some extremist group leaders who participated in the riot, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told reporters Monday.
“We have already had discussions about the need to subpoena documents and the sense of urgency we have. Normally we would request voluntary compliance. We may move quickly to subpoenas when it comes to documents so that we ensure that they're preserved, and that there's no delay.”
Schiff's comments underscore how House Democrats are banking on the Justice Department to help enforce any subpoenas issued by the select committee as they push forward with an investigation that has been largely boycotted by Republicans.
“Over the last few years, the Justice Department obviously was not willing to enforce any congressional subpoenas. And that was the result of having one of the President's chief enablers as the attorney general in Bill Barr. So it's a different situation now obviously,” said Schiff, one of eight Democrats on the committee.
The committee is scheduled to hold its first hearing Tuesday, when they expect to hear from four officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack.

Gee .... Shifty and Cheney .... what a combo. Who knows where evil lurks, right?
PeteS in CA:
If Schifftyroo think he'll get the same kind of "testimony" that Stalin did from his Show Trials he's deceiving himself. Schifftyroo is a Yagoda, a Yezhov, and a Beria short of a perfect Show Trial.
GtHawk:
Which participants would those be, the Capitol Police that held doors open for the protesters or the Antifa and BLM agitators that caused most of the damage and injuries? (of the Anifa and BLM swine will get no prosecution for telling the lies little Schitt wants to hear). I'm sure that any conservative that was arrested and foolish enough not to take the Fifth would have their testimony used against them at trial, after that is Schitt and the others harangued them and called them traitors, insurrectionists and murderers.
