Why didn’t they compel me to do the thing that I was always allowed to do?
CNN purports to have more new “never before seen” footage, a fuller version of the documentary source they were pulling clips from today, I’m guessing. They are running it at 8PM Eastern
Follow Hillary’s advice and goad him with Tweets… Tell him he’d look weak and cowardly if he doesn’t appear before the committee closes down. Tell him he’s strong and can tell off everybody who defies him. Tell him he’ll be on television and everybody will watch him as shows how brilliantly he can answer all of their questions. Just say whatever it takes to make him appear and ultimately incriminate himself.
Anybody think his testimony will be televised?
He actually managed that when he had to testify in NYC for the AG’s investigation of him. I think the only time he provided real information was when he identified himself as TFG. Every other questions was 5th. And he was there for 4 hours! I could not believe he had that much self control, but I suppose when money is at stake, you can get him to do something even if he doesn’t like it.
The Committee II: The Reckoning - Spring 2023
The title works no matter who wins the midterms.
Trump testify ?? Um. NO. That is NOT going to happen. His level 4 attorneys will throw so much bullshit it will make a stock yard look clean.
The music builds as the final vote is cast, then silence as the gavel hits the table and cut to black. As the credits roll, music starts quietly and builds from there.
I’d like Finlandia as the soundtrack…the part with the rumbling in the background that always reminds me of airplane engines warming up.
I like the way you trust us. We won’t let you down! Scout’s and scouts’ honor!
I like all of these ideas. Remind him he can use his testimony just like it’s one of his rallies. Only LOSERS defy subpoenas. And if he doesn’t testify he’ll be a big ol’ L-O-S-E-R!
How did he prove that?
I just don’t want to see “Donald Trump” SEASON TWO.
Said “yes” when they asked if he was who he is? I don’t recall.
Sometimes if a show doesn’t do well, they change up the format a bit.
I wouldn’t mind “Donald Trump: Season Two, Life in the Pen.”
I wonder why they can’t subpoena tfg’s phone?
I watched that show, it was really good but had bad ratings.
Oh, and it was called “Arrested Development”.
Scared Stupid.
Maybe we could wrap it up with a photo montage of “where are they now?”, like at the end of Animal House.
It’s by Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, I believe–of course when she started filming it was just going to show what happens on a ceremonial occasion (the ‘acceptance’ of the electoral votes).
(Unless, of course, she had sources in the Secret Service—in which case she’d have known in advance that the SS was aware of, and apparently indifferent to, the fact that Trump’s fans were planning to attack the Capitol…)
A good idea, except that apparently he not only had several in use himself but also freely grabbed other people’s phones to use. (I’m pretty sure there’s been testimony to that effect, but don’t recall which day.)
I would be surprised if any of the phones he was using on Jan 6 and the days leading up to it were still in existence. ‘Dropped into a volcano’ seems more likely.
Yes, it is; and her name is Alexandra Pelosi. As Anderson Cooper explained on CNN (I’m watching it now), she’s a documentary filmmaker, so what we’re seeing now, and saw earlier, is quite professionally done.
Yes, I gather she has a pretty solid reputation.
Looks like she’s edited in some stock news footage of January 6–I cannot picture Pelosi’s daughter in that mob.
I’m sure that the committee saw all this, but could only show so much in today’s hearing. But it is fascinating; we’re seeing Nancy Pelosi and others getting out of the Capitol, and driving away, I guess to Fort McNair.
