subpoenaed himself

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani condemned the January 6 committee as "illegal" and said it doesn't have the power to issue subpoenas — despite having been subpoenaed by the panel last month.

"How can you have any confidence in this committee, which by the way is illegal," Giuliani said on Tuesday evening while appearing on Newsmax. "I mean, it doesn't have a minority membership. It really can't subpoena anybody."

The House's rules for subpoenas require consultation between a committee's majority and minority members, and Giuliani's claim about lacking minority membership appears to discount GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's and Rep. Liz Cheney's participation in the January 6 panel.

Giuliani's remarks come days after The New York Times reported he had signaled, through his lawyer, his intention to be "less confrontational" towards the House committee's requests for information.

3. It's all a delay and deflect approach

Act one way then do another to delay having to face the music. They're hoping to run out the clock until the House is under repuke control again.

5. Rudy has always been a champion for the rights of the accused.

6. He'll be backtracking soon enough, just like with his lies about the election.

He'll have plenty of time in prison to sober up and learn the law.

8. strategy: run out the clock with a long series of legal challenges

he only has to keep it up until the J6 committee no longer exists as such, so he's counting on a GOP win in 2022 elections to kill the investigation in a year or less

sadly, this could work for him and many others

9. Even SCOTUS recognizes their legitimacy

Rudy's delusional

LOCK HIM UP.

12. rudy should just claim mental illness and have himself institutionalized.

he's not going to cooperate with the j6 committee in the least bit.

13. There is a reason why Rudy is no longer a practicing attorney

Rudy's disbarment needs to be finalized

[Vinca]

14. Unless the panel catches Rudy on a rare sober day, it will be a waste of time anyway. Just

proceed to the criminal indictments and refer him to the Justice Department.

15. Fun Fact: Roy Cohn died disbarred discarded, and disgraced. He was bankrupt, ridiculed, and mourned

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
