MSNBC pundits won't rule out tfg showing up for the Jan 6 committee subpoena.

The all say it's not likely, but then immediately say he won't be able to help himself. That he's been annoyed with the lack of ability to defend himself.

Plus, he's just plain jealous everyone is getting attention. And he'll want to trash all of his former rubes for turning on him.

Knowing how he never listens to lawyer's advice, I'm not sure I'd put more than a tener on him skipping it.

What would you be willing to bet he'll skip it?

If he does ask for live coverage they should simply say okay Then take away his phone during the testimony and make it appear to be live with a big camera. After the hearing ends and he finds out he was duped, I think that would end him, he would explode.

Some insurrectionist. Some leader of the revolution.

He won't testify. He couldn't control the circus. Another ragtag bourgeois army would tag along and create more problems.

despite his bluster about wanting to testify.

Plus, he can’t say anything that wouldn’t be a lie.

He can’t just go and take the fifth either, because that would expose him to the lie he wants to defend himself and that the committee is ignoring his side of the story,

His entire MO is to complain and talk tough, only to back down when challenged directly.

That turd is NOT showing up, and as one person said up-thread, he's going to plead the 5th for 1 hour and possibly more? Not seeing it.
