“Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan have repeatedly, and for months, indicated that they support the January 6 defendants and that they want to see justice done. So this is their opportunity.”
So says attorney John Pierce, legal counsel to 36 different J6 defendants, in explaining to WND why he has issued subpoenas to the House speaker and three other Republican members of Congress, demanding they testify in federal court on Sept. 5 in hopes it will help the many Americans languishing in D.C. jails for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
According to the subpoenas, the four GOP lawmakers are “COMMANDED to appear in the United States district court” before Judge James Boasberg at 9:30 a.m. and “must remain at the court until the judge or a court officer allows them to leave.”
In the subpoenas, Pierce demands that McCarthy, Greene, Gaetz and Jordan showcase all their correspondence with law enforcement officials throughout the Capitol Riot, including “Any and all communications to or from the U.S. Capitol Police, Sergeant at Arms, Congressional leadership, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and/or Secret Service created 1/5 to 1/19/2021, relating or concerning (1) plans to resume the Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021 after disrupted, (2) why, when, and by who a recess of the Joint Session of Congress was decided or recommended in the early afternoon of 1/6/2021, (3) any effect from the discovery of pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on 1/6/2021 upon the Join Sessions, (4) when the decision to recess Congress started, that is when the cause for recess first existed, (5) how demonstrators arriving after the recess caused a recess.”
Pierce, who founded the National Constitutional Law Union in 2021, argues the subpoenas to testify will finally force Congress to do its job amid a stalemate of broken promises to the political prisoners and the American people.
“These key GOP House leaders have said repeatedly that they support the cause of the January 6 defendants and so, we’d like to have their testimony,” Pierce told WND in an exclusive interview. “They were all on Capitol Hill that day on Jan. 6. There has been some confusion as to why Congress recessed. There’s been some serious confusion about how much videotape exists from that day.
“We’ve heard sentiments of support and promises to release the tapes and various promises to investigate January 6. We haven’t seen a lot of action. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. These subpoenas should simply be seen as an invitation to come to trial, to come to the district courthouse.
