As more information from the January 6 congressional committee’s probe into the Capitol riots is made public, so are the messages sent by several Republican lawmakers. According to a reporter for the New York Times, the panel is highly likely leaving a “gaping hole” by not issuing subpoenas to the Republicans who have been implicated.
Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Michael Schmidt of the New York Times explained that the bipartisan panel may leave a “gaping hole” in their final report regarding the January 6 insurrection by not issuing subpoenas to several GOP lawmakers.
Schmidt noted that the committee could resume its public hearings all they want, but without the testimonies of the GOP lawmakers that were revealed to be involved, they will not have a definitive account of what took place before and during January 6.
“These are clearly identified as central players in what went on. Kevin McCarthy talking to other members, talking to the President of the United States, obviously with a clear-eyed view through some of that audio of what was going on,” Schmidt explained, referring to the taped conversation with the House Minority Leader privately condemning the former president following the insurrection that occurred.
“Meadows, you know, looks like, in on the plans with these other members like Jim Jordan. The committee has shown unwillingness to force them to answer questions. The committee can have all the public hearings it wants, but without those individuals, without a fuller picture of what went on around them, it will not be a full authoritative account of what happened in the lead-up to and during Jan. 6,” said Schmidt.
Following the emergence of more evidence becoming public, former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal explained that it is time that DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland acts on the high-profile figures from January 6.
Katyal’s comments follow the revelation of a former aide to Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, that the Trump White House was already warned prior to January 6, that there would be violence.
Katyal explained that the committee’s publishing of more information, it would make Garland’s job a lot clearer.
