1. Sounds pretty juicy

[kentuck]

2. Pence?

The gallows?

[3Hotdogs]

37. Not likely that they would be worried about his security.

Doesn't he have lifetime SS protection? Or is it just the president?

[jaxexpat]

40. Even better He has God on his side 24/7, except for Halloween.

[Blue Owl]

3. Bring it on!

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Oh, my!

May need to follow Franken.

[Totally Tunsie]

Clarence Thomas is saying people need to “live with outcomes they don’t agree with.”

He should tell that to Ginni Thomas.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Oh, yeah!

Bet THAT wouldn't go over big at home. He'd have to get his own 'can of Coke'.......

[Cha]

32. FO Clarence & take your Stupid Liar Mouth Ginni

with you. MF

9. And their bank account!

[usonian]

7. For the twitter-challenged. BEST TEASE OF ALL TIMES.

Al Franken
@alfranken
Oooooo!!! “[A]ides refused to divulge what additional evidence they planned to present….or who would be testifying, saying that the panel was concerned for the security of its witnesses.”

BEST GUESS?
• Rudy's testifying because they promised him a month of bodyguard service.
• Schoolkids
• Oh oh, A member of the (you know what) court? Or a relative? (not expecting the truth, even under oath)
• Julian Assange? Old news.
• Ed Snowden? Old news.
• Anonymous? There's no one person.
• Orange Julius? Still has SS protection, no doubt.
• Vlad Putin??

That's about the best tease of all times!

[MyOwnPeace]

12. GREAT list!!!!!

[usonian]

13. RandySF speculated (cool thread), so I expanded. I can't resist these things.

I watched "I've Got a Secret" way too many times.
Thank goodness I went into tech and not into double-nought spying.

• Tarrio? He got a presidential briefing

• A member of the (you know what) court?
• Or a relative? (not expecting the truth, even under oath)
• Putin??
• Someone with THAT TAPE? (not the British guy)
• Recipient of top secret documents (OK, Putin is too ill to travel)
• Ghislaine Maxwell? Hmmmm. On Suicide watch. hmmmmmmm.
• Rudy? He's pretty insecure.
• The (suspected) pipe bomber.
• Navalny? Nobody knows where he is. ( https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/where-is-alexei-navalny-now-vladimir-putins-biggest-critic-goes-missing/ar-AAYrCpH)

18. Where is Jared?

He's slimey. Ivanka "Trump". Prison is probably in their future if they don't skip. Vegas should set up odds!

[Joinfortmill]

25. I hope the whole f'ing family scrams to some 'shit-hole' country.

[usonian]

29. I got pretty hooked on this, so I looked for online odds.

Not being a gambler, I couldn't find one. They must exist. I recall something of the sort around election time.

I just wanted to avoid "the usual suspects", though they may have the most impact ... Eastman, Alexander, Clark, Brooks, Cippolone, "Mel"?

Dammit, I really like Loudermilk, He of Loudermilk Biscuits fame.

"Whole wheat that gives shy persons the strength to get up and invade the Capitol Building. Heavens, they're tasty, and so seditious!"

[rubbersole]

30. "Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy"

Kasey Musgraves song... maybe it was gravy running down Rudy's face...

42. Sometimes it's the person at the bottom of the list

Cassidy Hutchinson obtains security amid concerns for her safety ahead of testimony, source says

From CNN's Kaitlan Collins

Former President Trump’s orbit will be watching closely as one of the closest aides to his former chief of staff Mark Meadows testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

Cassidy Hutchinson may not be a well-known name outside of Trump world, but she was an access point to the inside of it when Meadows was his chief of staff. If lawmakers wanted to get in touch with Trump, they called Hutchinson, not the White House switchboard. When they had a message to push to Meadows, they rang Hutchinson, not the legislative affairs staffer.

The young aide was there for moments big and small in the final years of the Trump presidency and was so close to Meadows, she made calls for him, arranged his meetings and even used to lint-roll his suit jackets. At least six of her former colleagues that CNN spoke with said her testimony won’t be good for Trump or Meadows. One noted she was aware of Meadows’s activities “or lack thereof” on Jan. 6, 2021.

Given that her testimony is not expected to be positive, Hutchinson has become increasingly concerned about her security in recent days. A person familiar with her situation says has obtained security in recent days.

[NCjack]

26. Mo Brooks, for some sweet payback.

[Cha]

33. Stupid Liar Mouth Ginni Thomas?

💙💛

[usonian]

34. She'd never tell the truth, ever. Getting back to Al Franken ....

[Cha]

35. Right.. she'd be a Waste of Time..

unless there were witnesses Testifying Against her.

TY for that Timely Reminder from Al Franken.. sorry we lost him in the Senate.

💙💛

[ancianita]

8. Seriously, though, the WHOLE Jan 6 Committee has had security details of its own. So threats don't

just exist for witnesses.

All these schedulings are on a tougher security level the closer they get to finishing their irrefutable case of seditious conspiracy against trump and trumpcult.

Right wingers don't take well to truth and facts. Nor do their funders and media.

[Kingofalldems]

10. Kick and rec this for the crowing yeoman trolls.

[Upthevibe]

14. BootinUp......

Thanks for this post.

I appreciate Al Franken's perspective.

[PurgedVoter]

15. Mmmmm! Popcorn!

Fear for witnesses, hints at a lot of interesting evidence.
Assuming the potential threat from traitors already in Washington would still be there, this probably means they would expect potential issues from traitors who would call in and direct crowds to start violence.

What I take away from this, is that the Jan 6 Committee has reason to suspect that there are voices that would potentially call for violent crowds to gather. While most of us suspect that and could even list a few media personalities that would be on that list, it is interesting that the Jan 6 Committee feels that there are active and potentially violent agents they need to be prepared for.

16. Pillow talk from Melania?

How has she not been dragged in to testify yet, like Trump's daughter and son-in-law?

[Meadowoak]

28. Spousal immunity?

[lindysalsagal]

17. From 2 replies: Alex Holder (tfg documentary) or Ali Alexander (Jan 6 organizer)

Alex Holder. The filmmaker of the Trump documentary whom the committee said last week they had recently obtained evidence from. My guess is they’re afraid it’s going to leak before they have a chance to meet in July

That may be but they had that info prior to last weeks testimony, no? I'm guessing it's more about Ali Alexander saving his own ass and hanging every senator and congressman that coordinated with him out to dry.

[Joinfortmill]

23. Good, and I hope if it's him, he names all the names of these m*fucking traitors.

[Martin68]

19. Pass the popcorn. And another margarita!

[Joinfortmill]

22. Make it a double.

[ffr]

20. What kind of shithole country has witness live's threatened

I thought this was America, the one with one justice system.

I guess not. We've become a mob organization, led by the slobfather himself and his Russian Axis of Evil.

[Joinfortmill]

21. Looks like tomorrow is going to be huuuge!

[MiHale]

24. Eastman. They seized his phone

https://www.rawstory.com/john-eastman-federal-investigators/

[mrsadm]

38. I'm guessing Eastman agreed to testify in exchange for immunity on everything he's guilty for

[Ford_Prefect]

27. IMO it is the assistant to someone who saw it all, and copied the texts, receipts, and daybooks

This would be the person on the inside who actually handled all the details for Ali Alexander, or someone else like him, who has had a Come-to-Jesus moment and can tie it and them together in plain language. Or perhaps it is specific evidence, copies of text or signed emails, or damning photographs, which performs the same function.

The sort of thing which once heard or seen cannot be un-heard or un-seen.

I predict a very bad day for TFG and all who sailed with him.

[Cha]

31. Rt💕TY.. Hope SO!

💙💛

[Marcuse]

36. Hannity

[empedocles]

39. Franken/'security of witnesses'

Witness who merits a maske, protected speaking voice, for extra security - would create a 'splash'.

[867-5309.]

41. What was threatened, and by who?

And why is today safer?

If they don't expand on that it just looks like fake drama.
