Are Democrats obligated to abide by the coming GOP subpoenapalooza?

[CatWoman]

Especially when they were flat out ignored when issued to them by the Dems??

[Deuxcents]

1. Hmmm. I say play by the rules. Tit for tat just escalates the situation.

Honestly, I feel they should salute them w/ the middle finger but.. play by the rules n then salute 🖕

[Grins]

24. Disagree.

Use the same delaying tactics being sure to use the SAME words they used in not complying and add the closer: “…now how do YOU LIKE IT??”

And let the media know. Like Jordon, McCarthy, Gaetz, say
say you won’t participate in “a witch hunt,” that you are protected by “executive privilege,” by attorney/client protections, by taking the 5th!!!

2. Biden has time to classify everything.

At a higher level than any one can access.
Not that he would do so.

3. I say all elected Dems should obey them and answer questions as much as possible...

because the hearing will be nothing but bs theater. We should show how democracy is supposed to work. Take the 5th if need be.

16. Yes, and unlike the Democrats, they'll make huge theater out of

those who refuse to comply. I wouldn't put it past them to have those who ignore the subpoenas put in handcuffs and hauled off--as they should have been. Why give them that? Besides, showing up gives them more rope with which to hang themselves. They're a bunch of incompetent boobs. What better place for them to demonstrate that than in front of the entire country? The majority of the country has already stated that they don't want this bullshit If you really want to piss them off, waste your time--and the country's treasure on witch hunts. Go for it, GOP. We'll enjoy watching it backfire on you even more than we did Newt Gingrich's witch hunt.

4. I say remember the debacle of the Benghazi hearings designed to wreck Hillary Clinton

I hope the Democrats are meeting to strategize their response, because Republicans are a pack of rabid dogs. Playing nice to set some kind of good example is an invitation to be mauled to death.

17. The Dems have already put together a "war room" for this shit.

They hired a bunch of lawyers, media people, etc. to push back. They're not going to be punching bags for the GOP again.

[Hekate]

20. I hope to God so

Answer subpoenas? Play by all the rules? When again and again and again the MAGA-GOP has shown that no rules apply to them.

[SlimJimmy]

5. Yes, they must comply or face contempt charges.

However, they can, and should, use every legal means to quash the subpoenas. Citing executive privilege or other reasoning.

[The Magistrate]

6. I See No Good Reason They Should, Ma'am

It would be best to flat inform their caucus leader that no, repeat no, not one subpoena his clown show issues will be enforced by any agent of the Executive branch....

[Hekate]

21. Exactly so, Sir, and a good new year to you

[NCjack]

7. Comply, but answer questions with "I don't recall."

[DemocraticPatriot]

12. I like that,

but if they comply and report,

they should make sure that they have

a stray piece of toilet paper stuck to one of their shoes....!





(use a piece of tape, yeah, that is cheating, but what-the-fuck...)

[MichMan]

22. How about F-U assholes ?

For every single question they ask.

[NCjack]

23. That's just another way of saying "I don't recall."

[Historic NY]

8. The guy running the circus ingnored subpoena's

[Captain Zero]

9. No matter what Gym asks, just answer by

Reading a couple of paragraphs out of the J6 report. Read stuff about him.

[CatWoman]

10. that's an excellent idea

[DemocraticPatriot]

11. what is a subpeona ?

(when issued by Repubucians who didn't give a shit when any Repubicans were subpeonad ?)



Is that like a stray piece of toilet paper that clings to your shoe,
as you are exiting a public restroom ?

[GoodRaisin]

13. Democrats should study their answers and actions to their subpoenas and mimmick

exactly what they said and did to avoid their subpoenas. Then run it all back for them word for word when they start to complain.

[tirebiter]

14. Would this be before or after the republicans are sworn in

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

15. What will these frivolous subpoenas be for? Failure to worship the

MAGAt king? Not allowing fascists to overthrow the government? Aiding and abetting Jewish space lasers? Not supporting Putin in his quest to conquer Ukraine.

Republicans are the party of worthless, money and time wasting bullshit.

[CatWoman]

18. Here are 5 big investigations House Republicans are planning to launch

19. Thanks. What a useless waste of taxpayer time and money. nt
