And they know it.

I'm reminded of a silly - but telling - little anecdote from the day she first testified in front of the J-6 Committee.

I was at the grocery store that evening, and couldn't help but overhear two Republican church ladies - both in their 60s and laughably overdressed - bring her name up in conversation.

"Well," one squawked disapprovingly, "she's only 25 - so you know she's doing this to help her own career."

"Oh - I know, I know."

Qué será.

This is a warning to others. It’s going to cost her even more in legal $$

She’s a young 20something and Republicans are not going to standby and let her get away with maligning dear leader. She has decades ahead of her to continue her anti-Trump appearances so they’re trying to shut her up.

I hope she has deep pockets helping her with the bills

Republicans are already living in the dictatorship they want for us all. I will never again wonder how people in Germany allowed Hitler to come to power.

Until Trump started mis-using the word, "conflicted" didn't mean someone who had a conflict of interest... but I suspect author Ron Filipkowski has been infected with that Trump linguistic virus.

Donald Trump orchestrated a coup on 1/6/21 and she saw the whole thing unfold, after which she named names. Meeting adjourned.

attack Cassidy. She may be soft spoken and very calm, but under that exterior she has proved to be a very tough person. She is widely admired. So go ahead - dis another strong lady. That will really help your campaigns.

Actually getting this behavior out publicly maybe even in an add woudl be helpful.

The public's dime is being looped into revenge politics.
