"The Select Committee is seeking information about attempts in multiple states to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including the planning and coordination of efforts to send false slates of electors to the National Archives," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the select committee, said in a statement. "We believe the individuals we have subpoenaed today have information about how these so-called alternate electors met and who was behind that scheme. We encourage them to cooperate with the Select Committee's investigation to get answers about January 6th for the American people and help ensure nothing like that day ever happens again."


In letters sent out Friday, the select committee told the subjects of the subpoenas that it is investigating who was involved in the scheme, citing media reports that the group had met on Dec. 14, 2020 to cast their "votes."

"Your delegation of purported electors for former President Trump and former Vice President Pence then sent an alleged 'Certificate of the Votes' of the purported electors to Congress for consideration by former Vice President Pence, in his role as President of the Senate, during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021," reads one letter addressed to Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer. "The existence of these purported alternate-elector votes was used as a justification to delay or block the certification of the election during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021."
 
DOJs gonna have to move fast else we'll lose interest on this unfortunately. We went through 2 years of "we're about to get them criminally!!", and I for one have fatigue.

Right there with you. I expect the Committee to provide public testimony from select witnesses possibly before the end of February and ending April / May (ish). That's my estimation. I have no idea how many more folks will be asked to answer their questions or how many more will need to be subpoenaed, but again, hoping they have that finished up by June - July 1. Then, I think that they'll have all of this wrapped up (the report) before Labor Day give or take a couple weeks. Sooner the better of course. What works best for my impatient ass would be to get a steady stream of results between yesterday and mid-summer (ish) with their final report coming into sight. Of course, I'm also hoping that the DOJ will begin to serve justice to "officials" starting Feb / March and who knows when that may ever end during the next 1-3 years.

Good grief. This is a circus!

Yeah, quite a circus!

Republican party leaders and activists in five states participating in a scheme to manufacture fraudulent electoral votes.

Some of these people are high up in their state organizations.

I would hope this isn’t an indication of how deep the cancer had penetrated in the party apparatus.

This was an element in the insurrection plot.
 
... Lol, so many carelessly silly folks committing crimes on paper. Very sad.

Drain the swamp!
 
Good grief. This is a circus!
Was a circus. Now an investigation. And through all this since Nov. 2020, no one has ever shown or proved any widespread voter fraud. 14 months of wasted time in the courts and so much bad information being spread, for what?

Because the man child Trump can't accept an election loss. I agree, it has been a circus.

The Trump Circus is over. He's been out of office for over a year.

The problem now is the circus in the House or Representatives - obsessing over Trump rather than focusing on real issues. Time for the left to move on and do some work.

Well, this is where you are wrong.. The Trump circus won't be over until the Republican party totally ignores him , and you have some pushing the Big Lie. Until that happens, the Trump Circus is not over. Not until people who tried to overturn the lawful election are brought to Justice

Anything crapped into existence by this Kangaroo Court will be ignored as is the sewage flushed in an average toilet.

How do you feel about the false election scheme?

Which big lie? There are several coming from the election - both sides.

For the most part, Republicans are ignoring Trump. It's very much Democrats that are obsessed with him, and pushing him into the limelight. They'd rather run against Trump than on their own policies.

The BIg Lie is that Trump won the election, and that there was substantial voter fraud. That definition has been offered many hundreds of times on this site, and I am surprised you have to ask yet again.
 
Good grief. This is a circus!
The 14 subpoenaed names listed yesterday could be thought of as being clowns. Clowns are humans and humans do commit crimes. I feel that many, if not all, of these named clowns will be considered by the DOJ to receive charges. The bigger pending question at this time is how many of the 14 clowns will refuse to show up before the 1/6 Committee.
