Bennie Thompson: January 6 Committee Will Issue ‘Criminal Referrals’ for Subpoena Defiers
Pam Key 1 Oct 2021
House Select Committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Friday to NBC News that anyone who defies their subpoenas during their investigation of the January 6 riot will have a criminal referral issued.
Thompson said, “We did 11 subpoenas this week. We started questioning some of the voluntary witnesses today. And we will continue that process. We will have other subpoenas scheduled to come out. And we will continue to do our work.”
Reporter Ali Vitali said, “In terms of depositions, I know some are coming close, for Meadows and others. Do you think they are going to show up? Have you heard from those legal teams?”
Thompson said, “Well, the only thing I can say is the committee will probably for those who don’t agree to come in voluntarily, we’ll do criminal referrals and let that process work out.”
The first subpoenas were sent to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former White House social media director Dan Scavino, former Pentagon official, House Intelligence Committee aide Kash Patel and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

@mystery-ak Never heard of this hack before,but if he has a serious opponent come the next election,I am prepared to make a contribution to the opponents election fund.
He is the worse kind of criminal,one that writes the laws for thee and me,and then uses them to punish his political opponents while hiding behind congressional privilege.
There is NOTHING even the tiniest bit "honorable" about this hack,and I would love to see and hear people refuse to use those words when addressing him.
After all,this IS still America,and in America,the PEOPLE are supposed to dominate the politicians,instead of them using their power to screw us.
Ok,I looked him up and see that he is black. Which means he can't be beaten in Ms,so I guess I am going to keep a few bucks in my pocket that I was going to donate to an opponent.
Funny how it's not racist when blacks march in lock step to support a black candidate,ain't it?
