The January 6 House Committee hearing today has provided yet more conclusive evidence of Donald Trump’s guilt in inciting the US Capitol Insurrection.
Particularly impressive was Vice Chair of the committee, Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, and Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, along with Maryland Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin and California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff.
While there is danger of violence with Trump talking about “civil war”, the Department of Justice has no choice but to bring charges against Donald Trump, with the timing being after the Midterm Elections of 2022, and before the new 118th Congress begins.
No one is above the law, and that principle is essential, as a warning to future Presidents, that justice is even handed, and no one has an advantage in court because of fame or notoriety!
So a subpoena is being issued to Donald Trump by the committee to come and testify under oath, and we shall see what transpires!
So if he doesn’t comply with the subpoena, can he be arrested?

Southern Liberal – I’m guessing that if he ignores the subpoena, he’ll be charged with contempt of Congress, like Steve Bannon.
If the GOP retakes the House (sounds like the odds are that they will), I expect that they’ll kill the subpoena entirely.
Former Republican – That’s why America must vote blue! Democracy must be saved!
Trump has put out a 14 page meltdown to being subpoenaed. It’s laughably pathetic.
