In a letter to Jack Smith, the House Oversight Committee said, “The Supreme Court has consistently overturned criminal convictions against public officials and private parties based upon broad theories of prosecution brought under general criminal statutes. Yet you have used just such a theory in your prosecution of President Trump, relying on a general conspiracy statute to allege a conspiracy to defraud the United States. The Supreme Court has held past attempts to prosecute under such a theory exceeded the reach of the statutes on which they were based, including overly expansive definitions of “official acts,” the lawmakers wrote.
They continued, “The Committee is interested to learn whether the Department considered the Supreme Court’s parameters in weighing the prosecution of former President Trump and any analysis developed in determining that the use of the general conspiracy statute conformed to the precepts articulated in these cases.”
The Committee is seeking:
1. All documents and communications concerning your authority to empanel a grand jury in the United States District Courts for the District of Columbia and the Southern District of Florida.
2. All documents and communications concerning your authority to offer immunity, pursuant to 18 U.S. Code § 6002, to individuals testifying before either grand jury.
3. All documents and communications concerning any oversight by the Department of Justice regarding any of these topics, specifically including, but not limited to, all documents and communications exchanged between your office and the Department concerning your decision to return an indictment of President Trump.
GOP lawmakers gave Jack Smith a December 15 deadline to turn over all requested documents.

“Can’t comment on ongoing investigations.”
If you don’t give it to us, WE WILL WRITE A VERY STRONGLY LETTER !!!!!
Was the letter written in all caps to emphasize its angriness?
He will ignore it, then it will wander around various courthouses until it’s too late.
Sounds like the Repubs have grown a pair.
Hope they follow through.
Navarro was convicted of ignoring such a subpoena.
Don’t think a lawyer working for the DoJ can hold on to such a position after such a conviction.
In the meantime, there is a jail in the Capitol basement. It’s wishful thinking that a Republican committee would use it, but we can dream, can’t we?
They’ll get none of it and then in February they will fully fund the DOJ. The Repukes are useless.
the DOJ and the WH is out of control.
they must be willing to defund the DOJ immediately if they want to see any compliance.
The Fey Wray and The Meritless Garland would make great cell-mates.
.
Didn’t Fetterman demand something of late? Lines of authority matter. How do they work? It’s not as easy as it seems.
You guys better do something about this out-of-control administration or you too will face the gallows. I am afraid it is actually too late for all of us. God is going to send a devouring sword upon us.
And throw in Grand Inquisitor Mad Jack to make it uncomfortably hot in that small cell.
Hope they follow through.
>>>DEFUND! DEFUND!! DEFUND!!!
Not one more cent ought to be allocated for these obscene prosecutions being perpetrated against our GOAT POTUS!!!
.
Precisely.
Six years down the road, they say the toothless IG is investigating, therefore we can’t comment or cooperate.
Congress is part of the problem. They flood them with money and do nothing to change the rules or reign them in. They are big fans, in reality.
