@Mattyxy Congressional limits on Congressional investigative power don't change based on how noble you think the cause is, you fucking idiot. What's fascist is believing Congress can investigate the political acts of private citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress can investigate private citizens to consider changing laws (interrogating baseball players to decide to revoke MBL's anti-trust exemption). They can do oversight on Exec Branch crimes/malfeasance (Iran-Contra, Benghazi). Private citizens' crimes is for DOJ/courts *only*. https://t.co/akjrjQ1lPZ — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesFoulk11 The whole premise of the HUAC was that private citizens were plotting with members of the Executive Branch to implement a Communist coup. The subpoenas issued by the 1/6 Committee go far beyond activities and communications by Trump officials and, even then, is still for DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org
