@Aspenglow, clarification please.

Oath Keepers chief Stewart Rhodes has offered to testify. People in the thread are discussing his potential testimony. There’s no indication that the committee wants him to testify.

Is this speculation also forbidden? If not, what is the difference?

> If I ran the committee, I’d let Rhodes testify live if and only if he first testifies under oath on tape in a closed room that he had contact with the White House to plan the insurrection. If he wants to disavow any connection between him and the DJT orbit, no live testimony.
