WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A lawyer for Virginia "Ginni" Thomas has dimmed prospects for a quick appearance before congressional investigators probing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, asking what they want from his client, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Ginni Thomas on June 16 expressed eagerness to speak with the House of Representatives panel investigating the 2021 assault, telling the Daily Caller she "can't wait to clear up misconceptions."

(7,805 posts)they want to hear it from her...under oath..
there is no way she'll have a sit-down with the committee let alone testify publicly, but if she did she would have to answer questions with no Jim Jordan or Matt Gaetz countering with screeching non stop insults and pandering

(35,454 posts)The Washington Post had reported earlier that the committee obtained emails between Ginni Thomas and attorney John Eastman, who advised Trump that then-Vice President Mike Pence could thwart formal congressional certification of Trump's loss.
Paoletta said Ginni Thomas had no role in the Jan. 6 attack and never discussed election litigation strategy with Eastman. He also dismissed the committee's interest in text messages following the election between her and Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows.
"These texts are simply much ado about nothing," he wrote in the letter to the committee seen by Reuters.

(7,805 posts)to see Ginni face the J6 committee...it would give me even more satisfaction if Schiff/ Raskin were the leads..however, whatever she has to say she can say in deposition and the committee can use video snippets of her testimony when needed...other than a show pony, questioning Mrs Clarence Thomas in public would be a waste of time...my opinion
