DOJ Says It’s Independent After Biden Calls for Prosecution of People Who Defy Jan. 6 Subpoenas The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday said it will decide whether to take action against people who defy subpoenas from a congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. “The Department of Justice will make its own independent decisions in all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law. Period. Full stop,” a DOJ spokesperson told news outlets in a statement. President Joe Biden earlier in the day told reporters that he would like the congressional panel and the DOJ to act against the people ducking subpoenas. “I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable,” Biden said in Washington. “I do, yes,” he added when asked if he thinks the DOJ should initiate prosecution. Biden has previously said the DOJ would act independently during his administration. White House press secretary Jen Psaki later sought to clarify Biden’s remarks, writing on Twitter that the president “supports the work of the committee and the independent role of the Department of Justice to make any decisions about prosecutions.” The post drew pushback from Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), who responded by wondering if the DOJ would be charging Biden’s son Hunter Biden, who is under investigation for alleged tax fraud. “How about the millions of illegals crossing our southern border? There is nothing independent about this DOJ. They serve the far left and only care about investigating conservatives,” Steube said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) convened a panel earlier this year to probe the Capitol breach after Senate Republicans rejected a measure to establish a Jan. 6 commission. The panel has only two Republicans and both voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. It has issued a flurry of subpoenas in recent weeks, including to former Trump administration officials Kash Patel, Mark Meadows, and Steve Bannon. https://www.ntd.com/doj-says-its-independent-after-biden-calls-for-prosecution-of-people-who-defy-jan-6-subpoenas_689739.html

Oct. 14 (UPI) – The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection will vote on holding former Trump adviser Steve Bannon in criminal contempt if he continues to ignore its subpoena, the panel's chairman said Thursday.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., announced he has scheduled a vote for late Tuesday on whether to adopt a contempt report against Bannon, who had been instructed in a subpoena issued last month to turn over a raft of documents relating to the attack on the Capitol and to appear Thursday for a deposition.
Thompson said last week that Bannon has refused to supply the materials, and after he did not appear for Thursday's scheduled deposition, the chairman announced the vote on a criminal referral

The House Committee investigating the protests on Jan. 6 issued subpoenas for Steve Bannon, Dan Scavino, Kash Patel and Mark Meadows.– The FBI already admitted their was no conspiracy and no insurrection. But Democrats need a headline. On Friday the Arizona Senate will release their results from the Maricopa County Forensic Audit. The FBI, DOJ and House leaders already know these men had NOTHING to do with the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th. This is all a smokescreen for their falling polling numbers and their dread of what may be released on Friday.
