.MaddowBlog: The question wasn't whether retired Army Col. Phil Waldron would get subpoenaed by Congress' Jan. 6 committee, the question was when.
January meetings at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., where Team Trump set up shop with a"command center" while plotting against our democracy.
Or put another way, this is a subpoena that's likely to help advance investigators' understanding of the larger scandal. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the Democratic chairman of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, said inyesterday,"Mr. Waldron reportedly played a role in promoting claims of election fraud and circulating potential strategies for challenging results of the 2020 election. He was also apparently in communication with officials in the Trump White House and in Congress discussing his theories in the weeks leading up to the January 6th attack.
"We expect him to comply with the law and provide records and testimony as the Select Committee continues its work to get answers for the American people about January 6th, make legislative recommendations to strengthen our democracy, and help ensure nothing like that day ever happens again." As of now, we don't yet have a sense of whether or how Waldron will respond to the congressional subpoena. Watch this space.
