Rep. Liz Cheney pushed back on Rick Wilson’s report saying the January 6 Committee is not going to enforce subpoenas, tweeting “This is not true” and the committee is “making significant progress and we will enforce subpoenas”:
This is not true. 1/6 Committee is making significant progress and we will enforce subpoenas. Committee statement coming soon. https://t.co/syn0Rux9wb

And the Twitter account for the committee called Wilson’s claim “nonsense”:

From their press release:
Bolton, MS & Wilson, WY—Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today made the following statement regarding the deadline for witnesses under subpoena to produce materials to the Select Committee:
“While Mr. Meadows and Mr. Patel are, so far, engaging with the Select Committee, Mr. Bannon has indicated that he will try to hide behind vague references to privileges of the former President. The Select Committee fully expects all of these witnesses to comply with our demands for both documents and deposition testimony.
“Though the Select Committee welcomes good-faith engagement with witnesses seeking to cooperate with our investigation, we will not allow any witness to defy a lawful subpoena or attempt to run out the clock, and we will swiftly consider advancing a criminal contempt of Congress referral.
“We thank those many patriotic Americans who are coming forward voluntarily to participate in our inquiry. The Committee is making rapid progress and will not be deterred by those who seek to obstruct our efforts.”
Wilson shot back, “Prove me wrong and I’ll be DELIGHTED”:
Prove me wrong and I'll be DELIGHTED. https://t.co/BiWBufXqoA

Now as much as we like seeing these three fight it out. . .

. . .as we told you earlier, it sounds like all of them will be disappointed because there just isn’t going to be enough time to enforce the subpoenas before this congressional term ends:

But it IS going to be amusing watching it all play out:
BREAKING: Republican Rep. Liz Cheney says the January 6th committee is "making significant progress" and vows to "enforce" the subpoenas that Trump's cronies are determined to defy. RT IF YOU SUPPORT LIZ TAKING THESE CLOWNS DOWN!
