I could easily be late to the party, but she just said Jared and Plastic Princess Ivanka both has subpoenas, too.

(22,882 posts)First of all, there's no way he would ever admit he was defective in any way. His narcissism is much too deeply ingrained for that.
Second, the bar for a successful insanity defense is much higher than a lot of people realize:

Imo, he wouldn't be able to pull it off even if he wanted to (which he wouldn't).

(64,569 posts)Or is this a new one? They were subpoenaed Feb 22. in the federal case for 1/6/21.

(172,264 posts)and this latest court order requires that the whole laundry list of folks must testify in full without invoking "Executive Privilege" arguments.
The Feb. subpoenas were Jack Smith ones.
And I too was surprised as I had stayed up to watch Alex and was shocked when she ticked those 2 names off because the court ruling media coverage focused on others like Meadows, Cuccinelli, and Miller, etc.

(172,264 posts)it was part of the Jack Smith federal sets of subpoenas related to J6, where the first to fall was 45's lawyer Corcoran, who could no longer invoke "Executive Privilege" per one court order, and then a whole laundry list of others including Meadows, who NOW could also no longer invoke "Executive Privilege".
I'm thinking that although the DOJ team probably has quite a bit mapped out already, it will take them some time to get through that list to corroborate and/or get to the meat of the issues.
I know there are too many cases going on - NY (state - 3 of those), GA (state - 1), federal (multiple).
