Is this some sort of post-modern ironic bit or is she really upset that the maga morons didn’t show up and try to be terrorists again?

Wait a second. People had to pay money to be there? No wonder no one showed up. Trumpkins don’t pay to be there. If it’s free, WT.

edit. Just read the article again. Apparently the reporter is upset she convinced her editor to pay money for her to be there and is pissed off that she was totally wrong and wasted her employers money? What the fuck is wrong with her?

Jan. 6 Panel Subpoenas Former Trump Officials, Including Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon

The Democratic-led House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has issued subpoenas to four former Trump administration officials, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and strategist Steve Bannon.

The panel also issued subpoenas Thursday to former Trump White House deputy chief of staff for communications Dan Scavino and Kashyap Patel, who served as chief of staff to then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller.

The subpoenas — the first issued by the select committee — compel the four to produce sought-after documents relevant to the deadly attack by Oct. 7, and then sit for a deposition the following week, on either Oct. 14 or 15.

Congressional subpoenas cannot be dismissed outright, but their issuance could lead to extended legal fights if the four former Trump officials decide to fight the effort.

I don't know if the Judge is male or female, but I'm reading that tweet and picturing the late Fred Gwynne looking at her:

 Judge Gwynne:  "Wut? The wassail? What was that word?"

Defendant Bauer:"What?"

Judge Gwynne: "Did you say wassail? "

Defendant Bauer: "What is a wassail?"

Judge Gwynne: "Like here we come a wassailing."

Defendant Bauer: "Oh, excuse me your Honor. The vessel, a free living soul."

Judge Gwynne: "Free? Not for long, back to jail it is."

Sidenote.  I think most of that video footage is from the show at Shea, opening for The Who, which must have been one of the greatest concerts of all time.

Close, but pretty sure you're off by a year. Topper Headon had been replaced by Terry Chimes by then and Joe was sporting the mohawk. This video looks like a compilation of footage but I'm pretty sure the NYC footage is from their 17 show stint at Bond's.

MOAR!

Panel Subpoenas 11 in Capitol Riot Inquiry, Eyeing Jan. 6 Rally Planners
The second round of subpoenas issued by the House select committee investigating the attack signaled that it was moving aggressively to go after crucial witnesses.

WASHINGTON — The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack issued 11 more subpoenas on Wednesday, targeting allies of President Donald J. Trump who were involved in the planning and organizing of the “Stop the Steal” rally that fueled the mob violence on Jan. 6.

The subpoenas indicated that the committee was trying to delve deeper into their investigation of the rally, when thousands came to the Capitol as Mr. Trump tried to pressure Congress and his own vice president, Mike Pence, to overturn the election results. The pro-Trump group Women for America First organized the gathering at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, when an agitated audience listened as Mr. Trump made clear that he was furious with Mr. Pence for resisting his plan to undermine the election and that he wanted the crowd to go to the Capitol immediately afterward in protest.

It was there that they heard Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani call for “trial by combat” against Democrats to win the election.

Spoiler

The panel sent subpoenas to Amy Kremer, the chairwoman of Women for America First, which helped plan the rally near the White House on Jan. 6; Caroline Wren, a Trump fund-raiser, who was listed as a “V.I.P. adviser” for the event; Cindy Chafian, another organizer; Hannah Salem Stone, who managed logistics; and Justin Caporale, a former top aide to Melania Trump, the first lady, who was listed as a “project manager” for the rally.

The committee also sent subpoenas to Katrina Pierson, Mr. Trump’s former national campaign spokeswoman; Kylie Jane Kremer, the daughter of Amy Kremer and the director of Women for America First; Lyndon Brentnall, the owner of a Florida-based security company who was the “on-site supervisor” for the rally; Maggie Mulvaney, a niece of the former top Trump aide Mick Mulvaney, who is listed on the permit for the event; Megan Powers, an operations manager; and Tim Unes, whose company was listed as the stage manager for the gathering.

Ms. Pierson, the House committee said, was reportedly involved in organizing the rallies on Jan. 5 and 6, and was in direct communication with Mr. Trump about them.

“You assisted in organizing the rally held at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, in support of then-President Trump and his allegations of election fraud,” Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi and the chairman of the committee, wrote in letters accompanying the subpoenas. “President Trump spoke at the rally shortly before the attack on the Capitol, urging the crowd to ‘fight much harder’ and ‘stop the steal.’”

The gathering quickly led to violence as rioters stormed the Capitol, where Congress was meeting to formalize Mr. Biden’s election. They chanted “Hang Mike Pence,” threatened to shoot Speaker Nancy Pelosi and forced lawmakers to evacuate the building. About 140 police officers were injured, and several people died in connection with the riot.

In addition to the Jan. 6 rally, Women for America First organized two gatherings at Freedom Plaza in Washington on Nov. 14 and Dec. 12, and two “March for Trump” bus tours that generated interest and attendance at the events, the select committee said.

The subpoenas seek a range of records that include materials dealing with planning, funding and participation in the rallies and bus tours; social media activity of associated entities; and communications with Trump officials and lawmakers.

The subpoenas are the second batch that the panel has issued, after an initial tranche that focused on some of Mr. Trump’s closest allies who were in contact with him before and during the deadly attack. The speed with which the committee is issuing the subpoenas indicates that it is moving aggressively, without pausing to negotiate with key witnesses.

Mr. Thompson has said that the panel plans to dig deeper into Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn President Biden’s victory, and to explore who encouraged militia and extremist groups to come to Washington before the assault.

The committee last week sought information from Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff; Dan Scavino Jr., who was a deputy chief of staff; Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s former adviser; and Kash Patel, the former Pentagon chief of staff.

It demanded that the four men turn over documents by Oct. 7 and submit to depositions the following week.

“Everyone has a legal duty to comply with the subpoenas,” Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland and a member of the committee, said this week. “We have every reason to expect that they will comply.”

The panel has also started reaching out to 70 criminal defendants who have pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the Capitol attack, though it remains unclear how many of them have been contacted and how they might ultimately give interviews to investigators.

One of the defendants the group has sought out is Scott Fairlamb, a New Jersey gym owner who pleaded guilty in August to assaulting police officers during the attack, according to his lawyer, Harley Breite.

Mr. Breite, who received an email from the committee last week, said he would be in Washington on Thursday to consult with Mr. Fairlamb about whether he wanted to speak with investigators.

The latest subpoenas came as the panel demanded detailed records about Mr. Trump’s every movement and meeting on Jan. 6, in requests to federal agencies that suggested that it was focusing on any involvement he might have had in the planning or execution of the attack.

The committee also sent record preservation demands last month to 35 technology companies, according to several people familiar with the documents who spoke about their contents on the condition of anonymity. About a dozen House Republicans are among hundreds of people whose records the committee is seeking to preserve, including Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader, who has threatened to retaliate against any company that complies.

Congressional subpoenas are to actual subpoenas as Hallmark movies are to hardcore porn.  Utterly worthless and sure not worth getting your hopes up for.

The leaders of a violent insurrection against the United States are going to skate, completely and totally.   Which will embolden them to try it again, with lessons learned from the first time.  And when they do it again (and it will look very different from their last attempt), they will succeed.

Sunshiney and optimistic enough for ya?

I've told you my jillion dollar idea, right?  It's called "Hallmark after Dark."  It follows the next few weeks after each couple gets together, when they're having that "early in the relationship and everything is still new" freaky sex.  All the ladies watching Hallmark channel, loaded up on their 6th glass of Chardonnay, will totally tune in with the lights turned down low after the husband and kids are asleep.

Reached by phone Monday, Rosemarie Westbury — who shares an address with the defendants but did not confirm her relationship to them — described the case as a "tyrannical system that is bullying the citizens of this once great United States of America."

"It's a false narrative," Westbury said. "None of these individuals that were brought into custody have any criminal records. None of them have any criminality within them. None of them did any criminal activities."

She later added: "The government that we have in place is a domestic threat as far as I'm concerned."

No, he's the small town shop owner whom she dated in high school, but she left to pursue the big-city lawyer job.

C'mon, it's like you've never seen a Hallmark movie.

They’ve clearly identified the intellectual of the household. Surely she’s the brains behind the brawn.

Much less so (worthless) when the deponent is an ordinary civilian and not currently employed by another branch of government.

When Congress subpoenas the executive branch, they usually negotiate because there is potential for an impasse through executive privilege and political question abstention.  That is much less true with an ordinary civilian, who has very little defense against a congressional subpoena.

There's also the optics of the situation.  The executive branch wants to protect itself, but not make itself look crooked as hell (or make its obstruction the story), so you end up with concessions.

Headline this morning:

  • Dona Bissey from Bloomfield, Indiana, was charged with storming the Capitol on January 6.
  • Poor woman being shunned, even threatened by her neighbors, according to her attorney.  Well, boo fucking hoo.  How does it feel to know how those people you were threatening in the Capitol were feeling?  Is every trump supporter in the world as fucking stupid as you are?  We are on the highway to hell, indeed.

So, I know Jenna pled guilty and will be sentenced November 4 (hope they show the, "I am white and blonde and won't go to prison" video she posted as showing her lack of remorse), but I think she might be trying to turn her infamy into a singing career.

There’s plenty where the city girl either has to go to a small town to visit a client, or gets stuck in a small town due to weather or car trouble. In either case, she treats the locals like rubes but ends up falling for the inn keeper or mechanic after an initial period of getting on each others’ nerves. 
 

Shit, it’s October already isn’t it. Won’t be long now.

This is bad. Jenna is about to enter the dark world of the Open Mic demimonde. A veritable pecking order of friendly viciousness where amateurs eye each other like circling Kung Fu movie sharks in a movie where sharks do Kung Fu. She may well advance to the elite level of vanity publishing her own album and dispensing advice on how to sing for free to young upstarts who are also singing for free.
