Psaki, DOJ in damage control mode after Biden says subpoena defiers should be prosecuted
Jan. 6 select committee is ramping up issuing subpoenas for former Trump administration officials
By Kelly Laco | Fox News

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) and White House press secretary Jen Psaki are doing damage control after President Biden told reporters Friday evening that anyone who defies a congressional subpoena should be prosecuted.

The remarks by the president come as the Jan. 6 select commission is ramping up issuing subpoenas for former President Trump administration officials and others who may have information on Trump's efforts to investigate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Biden told reporters in a South Lawn gaggle outside of Air Force One, "I hope the committee goes after them and holds accountable." He was referring to individuals who refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena.


One reporter followed up, "Should they be prosecuted?"

"I do, yes," responded Biden.

DOJ spokesman Anthony Coley responded with a terse statement Friday evening in response to Biden.

Democrats have many times abandoned their posts and run away.  During slick willys reign a huge number of government people escaped to China to keep from having to testify about slick willys crimes, and now they are mad at Republicans for following their lead just a little ?  I doubt any of the Republicans even left the Country to subvert justice like democrats have done!  Texas being a more recent example!
