The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack closed in on Donald Trump’s inner circle on Tuesday, issuing subpoenas to three new White House officials involved in planning the former president’s appearance at the rally that preceded the 6 January insurrection.

The new subpoenas show the select committee is moving ever nearer to Trump in its investigation and suggests the panel is now examining whether the former president’s speech suggested that the White House had advance knowledge of plans to attack the Capitol.

Congressman Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the select committee, issued subpoenas to the former White House strategists Andy Surabian and Arthur Schwartz, suggesting they helped coordinate Trump’s appearance by communicating with the organizers and speakers at the rally.

The chairman also authorized a subpoena for Ross Worthington, the former White House official who drafted the speech Trump delivered at the rally, during which the former president lied that he won the 2020 election and urged his supporters to march to the Capitol.

2. But that's the 'cool shit!'........

Who ever hear of Alexander Waterfield? Ever?

But, yeah, HE is the one that told the world that NIXON had tapes of his own crimes!!!

So, while we may not know these 'names' - it's what they SAY that will bring it all down on that ORANGE PILE OF LIES!!!!!

14. I prob would not know his name or remember him but for

National Lampoon's "Missing White House Tapes" LP of 1974.

An actor imitating Senator Sam Ervin in broken southern drawl stutters to the microphone ..." M ... M ... Mr. ... Mr. Butterworth ... Mr. Buttermilk ... Mr. Butter ... whatever you said your name was ...."

15. Absolutely! Surabian and Schwartz are Bannon's boyz!

They are certainly new names.

6. Reported subpoenas HAVE indeed been issued for these folks..that's true. Everyone is reporting

same facts….The walls are closing in on the orange menace using his minions to close the gates.

9. Keep, rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin.

Yeah!!

[Jon King]

11. All these subpoenas will be delayed in the courts until after midterms.

Unfortunately nothing will likely ever come of any of these subpoenas. They all have a delay strategy to sue, etc. It will be quite easy for them to run out the clock until after the midterms. If the House goes, so does this investigation.

12. They have 12 days to produce the documents.... Depositions start next month.
