Sorry if this is a dupe. From the NYT: "Mrs. Thomas has expressed a willingness to try to come before the committee as a means of clearing her name. But, based on my understanding of the facts the committee has in its possession, I do not believe there is currently a sufficient basis to speak with Mrs. Thomas," said Mark Paoletta. (her rep, just to clarify--he even wrote a book about "Ginni" and her husband)

1. How patriotic. Not.

Mr. And Mrs. Thomas are unpatriotic and corrupt.

[blogslug]

2. SUBPOENA HER

Let's see if her husband recuses himself in any possible cases brought against the fake elector crew.

[SheltieLover]

7. Absolutely!

[TexasTowelie]

27. Indict her.

Why waste time on her and her taking the fifth on every question.

[Buckeyeblue]

35. Part of me says yes...

But I'm not sure I want to give her a free forum to spew her bullshit. She wants the attention that would come with being served subpoena.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Surprise, surprise.

[Blue Owl]

4. Oh but she was so looking forward to it

LIAR just like Long Dong Silver

[Solly Mack]

5. Oh, come now. What is she afraid of?

Snort.

[emulatorloo]

6. In otherwords her lawyer told her to keep her mouth shut.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Yup.

But, that means she has something to hide. Also, she probably figured out that the gig is up.

[PJMcK]

10. Minor point

It’s “jig” not “gig.”

It’s from the Elizabethan era the phrase also became slang for a practical joke or a trick.

It refers to a particular dance.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Yes. It's jig.

Senior moment.

[NJCher]

19. Wasn't she getting paid as a lobbyist?

If so, “gig” is marvelously appropriate and funny, too.

[Baitball Blogger]

36. LOL!

Another Senior moment! I missed that one!

[OMGWTF]

37. Yes, and Uncle Thomas "forgot" to include her $686K income on his disclosure forms.

39. that article has me seething

snip

“It wasn’t a miscalculation; he simply omitted his wife’s source of income for six years, which is a rather dramatic omission,” Gillers said. “It could not have been an oversight.”

snip

He should have had to resign way back then.

This is sickening.

I do not understand why we have to tolerate this. Oversight for the SC has to take place.

[cloudboy07]

21. Good luck with that program !!!

that's like telling TDFG to keep his yap shut ?

[GoodRaisin]

9. Knew that was coming when she said she would testify.

She lied. What a surprise that the wife of a sitting SCOTUS judge doesn’t want to testify. And, she doesn’t give a damn about “clearing her name”.

[crickets]

18. Yep. She said it to get a headline in the news cycle,

knowing full well that she was lying. The later retraction won't matter to the people she wanted to reach - they have her first smug statement settled in their minds and have moved on. She doesn't care what the rest of us think.

11. I do not believe there is currently a sufficient basis to speak with Mrs. Thomas," said Mark Paolett

so they don't want to hear from her???

Never mind, he's HER counsel.

[tishaLA]

12. That's her rep, not the committee's.

[elleng]

14. Thanks, just saw that.

[gratuitous]

13. The nation reels in shock

As Ginni's own lawyer all but says the committee has too much incriminating evidence for Ginni to risk an appearance under oath.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. What is she, trying to prove that she's not an Oath Keeper? 😜

[OMGWTF]

38. *Insert Drum Sting Here*

[cloudboy07]

23. damn ! I wanted to see the perjury?

[plimsoll]

17. Republicans used to have this saying;

Now what was it again, if they haven't done anything wrong they have nothing to hide.

[SunSeeker]

20. Who here is surprised she backed out?

She claimed she looked forward to setting the record straight. And she may have been crazy enough, and enough of an attention hound, that she may have actually intended to do it.

But I think when her attorneys sat down to prepare her for her testimony, they realized what she would say, and it became plain that there is no way this loon should testify. She would no doubt implicate herself, her husband, and Trump.

[Cha]

28. Yeah, she's such a Stupid Fascist POS..

she backed out of Lying Under OATH.

Too bad.. ol Clarence and the gang of 6 could see her in Action on the World Stage.

Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[SunSeeker]

31. How is he still on the bench when his wife is refusing to comply with a subpoena...

...about Trump's insurrection?

[Cha]

32. I didn't realize there's

a subpoena involved?

I thought she just wanted to "clear her name" Which is an impossible task without Lying some more.
Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[SunSeeker]

33. Not yet, I guess, just a formal request. But still, there is no grounds to refuse to come.

Which means she's guilty as Hell. And Clarence's appearance of impropriety is off the charts.

[Cha]

34. So True.. I want them Both to

Go Down They've Earned It

[C Moon]

22. Running scared.

[3catwoman3]

24. Quick, get my smelling salts! I'm going to faint...

...from shock!

Nah, I'm not.

[Cha]

25. Ginni Thomas backs out of Lying Under Oath.

TY, tishLA!

[Mira]

26. Did she ask for a pardon

before appearing before these seasoned prosecutors? I am so very much nor surprised she is covering her butt for now. Does she know that if they keep on this path of regression she can soon be a legitimate slave owner?

[moondust]

29. Too close to Meadows?

She now knows her texting buddy is in pretty deep.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Who is surprised by this?

This lady could be facing charges and so could not risk testifying

[live love laugh]

40. "try" ....

right.

[Liberty Belle]

41. Subpoena her and arrest her if she defies the subpoena.

I'd love to see her lying ass in jail.

[AntiFascist]

42. She would have to plead the fifth too many times...obviously incriminated n/t
