Lemme see if I've got this straight: Cippolone, Trump's former White House Counsel and

[Atticus]

an EXTREMELY committed RWNJ Rush Limbaugh "dittohead", now MAY "consent" to be "interviewed"---which normally means not under oath---and tell the J6 Committee a few things he wants them to hear---and this is being ballyhooed as "highly significant"?

What it "signifies" is not good, IMHO.

"Thank you sir. May we have another?"

I am sure some disagree. I welcome views which may change my opinion.

1. If he is not under oath it has no meaning,

they all lie like hell.

[Emile]

2. Total waste of time if he's not under oath. Might as well arrest him

now, then maybe he'll find the courage to testify under oath!

[viva la]

3. He needs to have a convo with John Dean

Another WH counsel who initially thought his position would protect him.

Dean figured out quick truth was the only option.

4. I thought the J6 committee already met with him not under oath. nt

5. Where does it say he won't be under oath? They subpoenaed him. I assume that means under oath.

Look, it behooves him to testify. According to Hutchinson, he was the one telling them not to do certain things because it would open them all up to criminal prosecution. If he advised them not to have the rally and mob deployment to the Capitol, and he was ignored, it behooves him to testify.

[Atticus]

7. Perhaps my assumptions are wrong but, so far, I have only heard that he has agreed to be

"interviewed" not "testify".

[Novara]

12. Which may be why he was then actually subpoenaed.

6. If he does appear, he must be sworn in, under oath. No doubt about it.

8. Didn't realize Committee knew he was against the J Clark letter

Per NYT

Mr. Cipollone, who was aligned with Mr. Barr and a lawyer working in the White House named Eric Herschmann, also tried to persuade Mr. Trump to stop pursuing baseless claims of fraud. He balked at acting on a plan proposed by Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department lawyer who had wanted to distribute official letters to state legislatures falsely alerting them that the election might have been stolen and urging them to reconsider certified results.

“That letter that this guy wants to send — that letter is a murder-suicide pact,” Mr. Cipollone told Mr. Trump, according to testimony the panel has received. “It’s going to damage everyone who touches it. And we should have nothing to do with that letter. I don’t ever want to see that letter again.”

9. Cipillone has already been interviewed...

and he's not resisting an official appearance.

He's apparently asking for a formal subpoena for legal clearance.

[Atticus]

10. That may be, but CNN is saying he will be "interviewed". Perhaps RE-interviewed? Or may be

just "casual" reporting.

[Ohio Joe]

11. You have one thing wrong...

You can still be charged with lying to congress even if not 'under oath'.
