"SNIP......

Donald Trump’s team was “blindsided” by news that the January 6 Committee has subpoenaed footage from a documentary filmmaker who was following Trump and his inner circle throughout the 2020 presidential campaign and until Joe Biden’s inauguration, Rolling Stone reports.

Robert Costa reports that Trump campaign folks “recall a film crew coming to HQ at least once. They also remember it being odd because campaign’s legal team seemed surprised, as if it was an unvetted project. … The campaign’s lawyers were like, ‘Huh, what is this? What’s going on today?’ Saw it as another side project from the family/Trump confidants.”

Maggie Haberman notes “a very small group of people had knowledge of this documentary project, and a lot of Trump advisers were surprised to see it existed this morning. 

......SNIP"

16. Subpoena was issued LAST WEEK.

Asking Holder to provide three things:

(1) Raw footage from Jan. 6.

(2) Raw footage of interviews from September 2020 to present with Trump, Pence, DONALD TRUMP JR., IVANKA TRUMP, ERIC TRUMP and JARED KUSHNER.

(3) Raw footage “pertaining to discussions of election fraud or election integrity surrounding the November 2020 presidential election.”

Oh, boy! I hope Jr., the princess and her husband spoke the truth in their sworn testimonies. (Actually, I don’t. Conviction for perjury is the dish best served cold.)
