MSNBC Ali Velshi just said the threatened tRump support staffer

[BigmanPigman]

has been verified as being true after the Jan 6 Comm. met on Tues. and remarked about this crime. The fucking moron threatened a support staffer before he spoke to the Jan 6 Comm.

CNN verified the story...

1. Whoa...if he testifies to this intimidation tactic of Trump - 1st hand - it will be impossible

for DOJ to ignore.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Lawrence Tribe is coming up next on MSNBC

and Lawrence O'Donnell is asking him about this new development.

[Pantagruel]

2. They got tape???

[ShazzieB]

17. Don't know.

If they do, I don't think that information has been publicly released.

[prodigitalson]

26. He didn't answer the call, I think

So Trump'll say "I was calling about Kanye's last album" or whatever. Hopefully no prosecution/jury/sentient being would believe that.

28. He didn't answer the call, I think

So Trump'll say "I was calling about Kanye's last album" or whatever. Hopefully no prosecution/jury/sentient being would believe that.

4. TY.. Kick for "further developments"..

Will we find out what he said to the staffer?

Focus!
Please Fight to Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

5. Witness tampering is a felony. The DOJ has a slam dunk, and should make a move.

[calimary]

18. Time to WAKE UP, Merrick!

[ShazzieB]

19. Tribe seems to think he will.

He was Garland's constitutional law professor in law school, and he told Lawrence O'Donnell tonight that he fully expects Garland to go after this. I sure hope he's right!

[Totally Tunsie]

14. ...punishable by 20 years.

Let's see: 76 + 20 = a stone cold tRump.

[jO456]

21. 1Trumper on jury

And he is acquitted.

[herding cats]

6. Thanks for sharing!

He was flop sweat panicking and tried to get to the lower tier, not realizing Pat Cipollone was about to flip on him.

This is delicious.

Tick-toc. Now his minions are tossing Meadows under the bus. At least I know they're stressing and under pressure. That gives me joy.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Me too.

The more trouble they have sleeping at night allows me to sleep a lot better.

[herding cats]

8. You and me both!

May they never know another peaceful nights rest.

[calimary]

20. My hope as well.

Besides, lack of sleep makes ‘em sloppy and more mistake-prone. And farther off their game.

[cloudboy07]

9. look's like the games for someone is really going to ROCK & ROLL !

[YoshidaYui]

10. lock him up

lock him up

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Yes he called... But is there evidence that there was a threat?

Sorry, behind.

[Zauber]

13. He didn't answer the phone

He just notified his lawyer there had been a call. If they didn't talk, I have to think this will be pretty easily dispatched by Trump lawyers. I don't think this is anything on which to hang an indictment, unless something else drops.

[ShazzieB]

22. If Trump left a message, that means there's a recording.

Surely the staffer's lawyer would have made sure it was preserved.

Even without a recording, phone records can be used to show that the call occurred. A call from Trump to a lower level ex-staffer (who he would not have any non-suspicious reason to contact) is going to look really bad, according to what I saw on TV tonight.

[nolabear]

25. That's my hope.

[live love laugh]

23. That's exactly what Cheney said yesterday.

The staffer didn’t answer the call.

[Totally Tunsie]

15. The thing that's so delicious about this is that this

is something that moron tRump has done to himself. No one else is to blame. HE made the call; HE sealed his fate. He put himself out on the limb, reaching behind with saw in hand. Boom.

[summer_in_TX]

16. My understanding from Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post

who was interviewed by Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC this evening, that apparently the support staff person was someone in position to corroborate some of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony.

Not someone who in a million years (my interpretation) would be called by Trump.

My guess is it could have been a server or wait staff.

Bennie Thompson was interviewed about whether we could expect to hear from this individual. He doubts it because the committee doesn't want to put him or her in a more uncomfortable position.

[Efilroft Sul]

27. A White House photographer? Just thinking which support staff member who has the most access.

[mopinko]

30. i said a while back- we are about to see the revenge of the help.

and i am so here for it, i may bake a pie.
