Jan. 6 committee issues latest round of subpoenas for rally organizers

Source: The Hill

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol issued three new subpoenas Thursday, continuing its focus on those organizing rallies the day former President Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol.

The subpoenas went to Nathan Martin and Ali Abdul Akbar, also known as Ali Alexander, and an affiliated corporation titled Stop the Steal LLC.

Both men’s names and contact information are listed on a permit application for the “One Nation Under God” event, which sought to rally on “the election fraud in the swing states.”

“Mr. Alexander explained it was the intention of Stop the Steal to direct earlier attendees of a rally on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. oh Jan. 6 held by Women for America First and ‘sponsored’ by Stop the Steal to march at the conclusion of that rally to Lot 8 on the U.S. Capitol Grounds, which is the location for which the [U.S. Capitol Police] granted the permit for the ‘One Nation Under God,’ rally,” the committee writes in the subpoena.

Subpoena is a nice way of asking the criminal to show up. A warrant says we know what you did, and you'd better come clean, and arrives accompanied by an arresting officer or two.
