Bill 119 H.Res. 15, also known as the "Rescinding the Subpoenas and Contempt Findings Act," aims to revoke the subpoenas issued by the January 6th Select Committee on three separate occasions - September 23, 2021, October 6, 2021, and February 9, 2022. These subpoenas were directed towards individuals including Stephen K. Bannon, Mark Randall Meadows, Daniel Scavino, Jr., and Peter K. Navarro.Additionally, the bill seeks to withdraw the recommendations made by the committee finding these individuals in contempt of Congress. This means that the penalties and consequences associated with being found in contempt, such as potential fines or imprisonment, would no longer apply to Bannon, Meadows, Scavino, and Navarro.
The rationale behind this bill is not explicitly stated, but it is likely that it is being introduced by lawmakers who believe that the subpoenas and contempt findings were unjust or politically motivated. It is important to note that this bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and may face opposition from those who support the actions taken by the January 6th Select Committee. Overall, Bill 119 H.Res. 15 is a significant piece of legislation that could have far-reaching implications for the ongoing investigations into the events of January 6th and the individuals involved. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on future investigations and accountability efforts.
