They will try every trick in the book. That is straight out of the Trump handbook. Then they will bank on the Supreme Court to hide from the truth. The 5th Amendment will be used to a ridiculous level. The January 6th Committee will have to build their case from supporting evidence. These guys aren't going to cooperate. They are too far gone and they are facing serious crimes. It is an organized attempt to overthrow the USA Constitution and defy anyone from saying otherwise and it reaches to the highest levels of the government.

In the days after January 6, 2021, (click here) House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Republicans in a private phone call that then President Donald Trump admitted that he shared some responsibility for the Capitol riot, according to CNN.
But during a news conference on Thursday, McCarthy told reporters that he couldn't recall that phone conversation.
"I'm not sure what call you're talking about," McCarthy said.
CNN reported on the phone call at the time, and on Thursday the news outlet obtained a detailed readout of what McCarthy told his Republican colleagues....
They will take it to the Supreme Court. Let them. And then let the Supreme Court look at the conspirators with plenty of evidence found by the DOJ and prevent the US House from proceeding with an investigation to expose the plot against the US Constitution. I dare them to do it!
The Committee simply has to walk the straight and narrow path of the truth.

The House Jan. 6 Select Committee (click here) pushed back against legal challenges to its authority to issue subpoenas, defending its Democratic-controlled structure as it tries to fend off a mounting number of lawsuits from former President Trump and allies.
In a court filing Wednesday night, the select committee argued that the structure of the panel — comprised of seven Democrats and two Republicans — is consistent with the House's rules and that it has the authority to issue investigative demands. The filing came in response to a lawsuit from Taylor Budowich, a Trump spokesman challenging a subpoena for his financial records.
"Plaintiffs’ specific contentions—that the Select Committee cannot conduct business unless the Speaker appoints exactly thirteen Members after 'consultation' with (and, in Plaintiffs’ understanding, approval by) the Minority Leader — are belied by the text of the House’s governing resolution and the indisputable facts surrounding the appointments," the committee's lawyers wrote in the brief....

It isn't the US House they have to fear, it is the DOJ making the case with incredible evidence. Trump threw down the guantlet and the Republicans followed. Amazing what they will do for power.
Lindsay Graham has a lot to worry about. I am wondering how many FOX commentators have evidence that would reveal the relationships they held with Trump. There is more reason than ever for them to dress up Trump and dress down Biden. I don't think McConnell was as close to Trump as Graham was.
All these men know better. Weren't there a few Cabinet Members that resigned when the attack on the US Capitol began? I think it was McConnell's wife, Elaine Choa (click here) at the DOT and DeVos (click here).
Everyone is lawyering up now.
