If citizens committed crimes relating to 1/6, then they ought to be investigated and charged by DOJ in a court of law - which they are. Congress can't do that. If the idea is that 1/6 protesters are bad people we need to know about, it should be easy to see how chilling this is. — PolitiTweet.org

Been working on the serious constitutional problems with the attempt by Congress to act as DOJ prosecutors by investigating what happened on 1/6. Many of the key precedents come from the McCarthy era. Congress can't investigate private citizens except to help make/amend new laws. — PolitiTweet.org

The arguments made by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee to justify its McCarthy investigation was that Communists posed a grave, insurrectionary threat. The Supreme Court reacted by imposing limits on how Congress can investigate private citizens' political activities. — PolitiTweet.org
