The January 6 committee demanded testimony from Trump allies: Ivanka Trump, Peter Navarro, and others. The strategy is pressure by exposure. Every letter reveals fragments of the plot — memos, calls, PowerPoints spelling out ways to nullify votes.
Defiance continues. Witnesses delay, litigate, refuse. The clock ticks toward midterms. Delay is their strategy; urgency must be the committee’s.
The breakdown:
- Scope: Evidence shows planning, not spontaneity.
- Accountability: Without enforcement, subpoenas mean less than press releases.
- Risk: If the House flips, the investigation ends.
The committee isn’t just investigating the past. It is racing the calendar.
