Probably Pat Cipollone

[Effete Snob]

I thought I'd put that out there as a marker for tomorrow.

1. Anyone taking odds?

I wouldn't bet against you tho...Another poster says maybe Mo Brooks. Maybe someone should start a pool.

[Effete Snob]

4. Brooks is a nutbar

Whomever it is, they have already run through what they are going to ask, and know the answers.

Brooks would, still, want to speechify about the stolen election.

All of the witnesses thus far have been competent and professional. That ain't Brooks.

[lame54]

25. Definitely a hostile witness...

Maybe pre-taped but no way he'll be live

[Jirel]

2. Possibly.

I’m seriously wondering whether it isn’t someone who has a credible threat of violence made against them. There’s no need to do a hasty hearing even if it’s an important name like Cipollone. But if the witness might not survive until July if the name becomes known before then…

[Ocelot II]

3. Good guess. Or maybe they finally got Mark Meadows?

[Effete Snob]

5. Meadows will go down with the ship

[Ocelot II]

6. Then he's even dumber than he looks.

[Effete Snob]

10. He is exactly the sort of guy....

...who has gotten far in life by looking like a "serious white man".

But, sweet Jesus, the nonsense that comes out of his mouth is breathtaking.

He is astoundingly dumb.

26. Community College Grad turned Chief of Staff

[Effete Snob]

27. Yah, he wasn't qualified to be chef, let alone chief

[empedocles]

7. Unknown.

The more,
the worriers.

[kentuck]

8. Jeffrey Clark is running scared.

He may have decided to make a deal? His road looks very rocky.

[Nevilledog]

11. Nah.... He's happily rage tweeting about the bad liberals since the search.

[AngryOldDem]

13. He was on Fox the other day crying that this was Stasi tactics, or some bullshit.

[Nevilledog]

16. Yup.... Guy's a true believer in the worst sense.

[Ocelot II]

18. Meadows and Clark can keep each other company under TFG's bus,

where he will throw them as soon as they are charged with something. Maybe they can share a cell, too.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Educate me , remind me what they would have him saying?

I know who he is, as in former WH lawyer, but what is the stuff he should have?


What I find interesting is this country is so badly fucked that even if the most credible rightwinger goes on natl tv and says trump told them he wanted a violent takeover of the country, 40% of us wont believe it OR will believe it and like it.

[AngryOldDem]

12. I think you're right.

At the end of the last hearing, Cheney brought up his name, saying they needed to hear from people like him, and that the committee was in discussions with potential witnesses.

This could be a bombshell, if it is him, but why else would the committee schedule a hearing now?

[Effete Snob]

15. Scheduling

Lots of people, lots of schedules.

They wanted Cippolone before, and maybe this was the only time that worked for everybody.

[AngryOldDem]

17. I found the name-dropping to be interesting.

[cilla4progress]

14. Nice

thought!

[W_HAMILTON]

19. I doubt that he goes from not testifying to testifying over night.

These sorts of things are deliberate and takes weeks, if not months, to negotiate and plan out.

Furthermore, I doubt the Committee would even be willing to let him testify publicly without having him first testify behind closed doors to see what information he has to provide and what sort of witness he is.

[Leghorn21]

20. Any chance that scumbucket John Eastman has tuckered out by now?

But sure, Cipollone would be FINE, just FINE

[gab13by13]

21. Cipollone under oath is huge,

the committee is not releasing the name out of security reasons, so Cipollone fits that bill.

[Leghorn21]

22. That would be SO GREAT, gab

If he wants to follow in John Dean’s footsteps, I’m here to cheer him on!

[empedocles]

23. Septien got off the initial public hearing hook

[Effete Snob]

24. He's a good one

Pull a switcheroo and ask him about the GW Bridge while they're at it.
