i believe the narrative after i've confirmed it with multiple sites, who are not full of bullshit artists to begin with.
you go to sites with the reputation alley rats, that use "reporters" who frequent the dumpsters in those same alleys...and usually just one, as long as that one confirms what you "feel to be true" today

Jan. 6 panel demands testimony from Stephen Miller, Kayleigh McEnany
Investigators are accelerating their efforts to compel testimony from key Donald Trump aides with knowledge of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, White House personnel director Johnny McEntee and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany are among a new batch of senior Trump White House aides subpoenaed Tuesday by the House’s Jan. 6 select committee.
Investigators are accelerating their efforts to compel testimony from key Donald Trump aides who had visibility into the chaotic final weeks of his presidency, as he worked feverishly to overturn the results of the election.
The new subpoenas also target Nick Luna, Trump’s body man on the day of the attack, and retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, then-Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser. The panel is seeking documents from the group by Nov. 23 and is demanding depositions between late November and mid-December.

Tuesday’s subpoenas are the second significant wave in as many days. The first included key Trump-world figures like former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney John Eastman, who both played key roles in aiding Trump’s quest to overturn the election.

Prior to this week, the panel had subpoenaed former top Trump aides like chief of staff Mark Meadows, social media adviser Dan Scavino, adviser Steve Bannon and Pentagon official Kash Patel. The committee has also tried to pry testimony from a dozen organizers of pro-Trump rallies that preceded the violent attack on the Capitol.

The latest rounds of subpoenas turned the committee’s lens back on the White House. Miller, a top Trump policy adviser, helped the former president draft his remarks to a "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6 and supported Trump's false claims of election fraud in the aftermath of his defeat.

The batch also includes Ben Williamson, a longtime Capitol Hill staffer who followed former Rep. Meadows to the White House when Trump named him chief of staff. Another target, Cassidy Hutchinson, was Meadows’ legislative adviser, who Reuters revealed had contacted election officials in Georgia to ask how the White House could express gratitude to officials reviewing the vote.

Additionally, the panel's new subpoenas target Molly Michael, a Trump assistant who emailed talking points about voter fraud in Michigan to top Justice Department officials in December. The committee also lists Meadows aide Christopher Liddell, Kenneth Klukowski, a Trump Justice Department official that Senate investigators say appeared to play a role in pressuring senior DOJ officials to join Trump’s effort to overturn the election.

But McEntee may have the most far-reaching insight into Trump’s mindset after his election defeat. McEntee was at the center of Trump’s post-election personnel moves, and was described as the architect of “purges” of employees deemed insufficiently loyal to Trump. He was also present for key conversations related to Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss, according to contemporaneous reports.

The Jan. 6 panel is locked in a legal fight with Trump over access to his White House records related to many of those aides. The records, housed by the National Archives, include voluminous binders that press secretary McEnany compiled for her briefings, the Archives recently revealed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House investigators issued subpoenas Tuesday to 10 former officials who worked for Donald Trump at the end of his presidency, an effort to find out more about what the president was doing and saying as his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a bid to overturn his defeat.

The subpoenas, including demands for documents and testimony from former senior adviser Stephen Miller and former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, bring the House panel tasked with investigating the insurrection even closer inside Trump’s inner circle — and closer to Trump himself. They come a day after the committee subpoenaed six other associates of the former president who spread mistruths about widespread fraud in the election and strategized about how to thwart President Joe Biden’s victory.

“The Select Committee wants to learn every detail of what went on in the White House on January 6th and in the days beforehand,” said Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the panel. “We need to know precisely what role the former president and his aides played in efforts to stop the counting of the electoral votes and if they were in touch with anyone outside the White House attempting to overturn the outcome of the election.”

It is so far unclear if the Jan. 6 panel will subpoena Trump, though the committee’s leaders have said they haven’t ruled anything out. The panel has now issued more than 30 subpoenas, including to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, longtime ally Steve Bannon and others who were close to the former president.

The House later voted to hold Bannon in contempt after he said he would not comply, and the Justice Department is still deciding whether to prosecute the case. Meadows and others have “engaged” with the committee, according to lawmakers, but may still be held in contempt if they do not fully comply.

The panel has already interviewed more than 150 witnesses, and lawmakers have said they want to not only probe the attack itself but its origins — namely the lies that Trump spread about massive voter fraud even though all 50 states had certified Biden’s win and courts across the country rejected his claims. The violent mob of Trump’s supporters echoed those false claims as they pushed past police, broke through windows and doors and threatened lawmakers who were certifying the election that day.

Trump continued to push the false narrative in a statement responding to the subpoenas, saying the committee “is studying the PROTEST when it should be studying the Fraudulent Election that led to the protest.”

The 10 former officials who were subpoenaed Tuesday either could not be reached or did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The panel said Tuesday that it had issued subpoenas for Miller, who Thompson said had “participated in efforts to spread false information about alleged voter fraud” and McEnany, who the committee said was present at times with Trump as he watched the insurrection and spoke at a rally that morning.

The panel is also demanding documents and testimony from Keith Kellogg, former Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser, writing in the subpoena that it wants to hear from him because “you were with President Trump as the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol unfolded and have direct information about the former president’s statements about, and reactions to, the Capitol insurrection.” His subpoena says that according to several accounts, Kellogg urged Trump to send out a tweet aimed at helping to control the crowd.

Other former Trump White House aides subpoenaed Tuesday include personal assistant Nicholas Luna, who the panel said may have witnessed a phone call from Trump to Pence pressuring him not to certify Biden’s win; special assistant Molly Michael, who the committee said sent information about election fraud to “various individuals at the direction of President Trump”; deputy assistant Ben Williamson, a senior adviser to Meadows; deputy chief of staff Christopher Liddell, who was in the White House on Jan. 6 and considered resigning, according to reports; and personnel director John McEntee and special assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, who the committee said were also in the White House that day and at the rally.

The panel also subpoenaed Justice Department official Kenneth Klukowski, who Thompson said communicated with former senior Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark about a letter Clark sent to Georgia election officials urging them to delay certification of the voting results in that state because of purported fraud.

The letter said Clark and Klukowski spoke before a Jan. 3 meeting at the White House in which Trump contemplated replacing acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen with Clark. Rosen and other leaders at the department had pushed back on the false fraud claims.

The committee has also subpoenaed Clark, who appeared for a deposition last week but declined to testify, partly based on Trump’s claims that documents the committee is trying to obtain from the National Archives are privileged. Trump has sued to shield the documents from the panel but Biden has so far said he will allow the release of most of them.

On Monday, the panel issued subpoenas to Bill Stepien, manager of Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign; Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the campaign; Angela McCallum, national executive assistant to the campaign; John Eastman, a lawyer who advised the former president; Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to Trump who talked with Trump ahead of the insurrection; and Bernard Kerik, who the committee says paid for hotel rooms that served as command centers ahead of Jan. 6.

Congress has a year to drag this out into the open for the 2022 election. What is the rush?

The DoJ has 3 years to hold them accountable, they are going down two separate pathways too.

The Democrats need to make this hurt for the insurrectionist RINO's IMO. And if playing by the rules as Trump's stooges pretend like Dear Leader is still in office makes it drag out for a bit, so be it.

Cali is in a severe drought. Even though we have our own well, there were issues with the Cal Water Control board. They were send us threating letters, so we decided not to risk it and just take the year off. We believe we have things straightened out now and are planning on a good season in 2022...
P.S. Both of my full time crew came down with covid and one got very sick (lost 30lbs) and is still recovering. Would have been a rough season anyway.

It's Raining Congressional Subpoenas; Now More Than Ever, DOJ Must Indict Steve Bannon

Over the past 24 hours, the House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol issued 14 subpoenas for Trump aids, assistants, loyalists, sycophants and a smattering of co-conspirators.

Issuing subpoenas is easy, enforcing subpoenas has turned out to be hard. We are on day 19 of Steven Bannon indictment watch and no DOJ indictment in sight. Now more that ever, DOJ must act to hold Bannon accountable, both because it's the right thing to do AND because it will send a powerful message to the newly subpoenaed witnesses that subpoenas are not mere invitations to be ignored.
