Legal expert Jonathan Turley criticized the Jan. 6 committee for not "aggressively pursuing" decisions made about Capitol personnel during
the riot Friday on "The Ingraham Angle."
JONATHAN TURLEY: What is really disturbing is how the committee has
tailored its mandate. They're not aggressively pursuing the decisions
on how they staffed and equipped their own personnel at the Capitol.
Many of us remarked on that day how light the security seemed to be.
The Washington Post and other newspapers have said it's simply untrue
that the National Guard was offered to people in the House and they
turned it down.
Their documents suggest that that might not be true and that, in fact,
the offer was made. But here you have Cheney herself saying, "Look,
they were told days before that this could very well get out-of-hand."
And those witnesses said — that same witness who said, "I saw hundreds
of Proud Boys marching on the Capitol," said when they approached the
Capitol, there was one officer at that first barricade. And then the
person who testified who was an actual police officer said that they
were overwhelmed. They simply didn't have many people on the barricade.
And the question is, "Why?" And those are the questions that don't seem
to be a relevant focus for this committee. Those are the questions that
would be asked if there was an opposing side, if there [were] both
parties present in force the way they usually are on committees.

The Republicans can't ask questions or call witnesses, yet the
democrats can subpoena people to appear, and have them arrested if they
refuse.
This is no hearing, it's a lynching.
