John Eastman's Lawyers Just Destroyed the Jan 6 Committee and Its 'Subpoenas'.

Lawyers acting for constitutional law professor John Eastman have picked apart the raison d'etre for the January 6th Congressional committee, as well pointing out the potential for abuse of power and breaches of House rules.

The fisking of the committee will irk the already enfeebled group of Democrats, fresh off their latest round of embarrassments at the hands of another target: former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon.

First, your committee lacks a ranking minority member, which makes it impossible to comply with relevant House Rules, including those applicable to subpoenas and depositions.

Secondly, your extraordinarily broad subpoena goes far beyond even the most expansive reading of the Committees authorizing resolution in asking for materials bearing no reasonable relation to the events of January 6.

Contrary to consistent historical practice and the express language of the authorizing resolution, none of the members of the J6 committee were appointed after consultation with the minority leader.

In other words, Democrats pieced a committee together against the rules and under false pretenses in order to persecute their political opposition.

The letters sent by the committee specifically requested that these companies preserve information about individuals who were listed on permit applications or otherwise involved in organizing, funding, or speaking at the January 5, 2021, or January 6, 2021, rallies in the District of Columbia relating to objecting to the certification of the electoral college vote; and individuals potentially involved with discussions of plans to challenge, delay, or interfere with the January 6, 2021, certification.
