Kimberly Guilfoyle's meeting with Jan. 6 committee goes awry following clash over ground rules

Source: CBS





By Robert Costa Updated on: February 25, 2022 / 2:22 PM

A tense confrontation between the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol and Kimberly Guilfoyle unfolded privately on Friday morning, with Guilfoyle and her lawyers abruptly ending her conversation with the committee over concerns about its ground rules, according to four people familiar with the exchange.

Guilfoyle, a longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump, was scheduled to meet virtually with the committee on February 25, following discussions between the committee and her lawyers.

She also spoke at the January 6, 2021, rally at the Ellipse near the White House and was backstage that day with the Trump family and administration officials.

But, they said, when Guilfoyle appeared on Friday's virtual meeting, she and her lawyers grew immediately concerned when they saw who else was on the call, including lawmakers on the committee such as Representatives Adam Schiff of California and Jamie Raskin of Maryland, both Democrats.

Guilfoyle spoke up and asked why members — and not just lawyers and committee staff — were on the call, three of the people said. .....................................

...................In a statement, the spokesperson for the panel said Guilfoyle "has information of interest to the select committee and has provided documents germane to our investigation." It added that her refusal to answer questions would be "forcing the select committee to compel her testimony at an upcoming deposition.”

“The select committee had hoped she would do as dozens of other witnesses have done: participate in a voluntary transcribed interview with staff and committee members. Ms. Guilfoyle has now declined to do so,” the statement said...................................................

Oops, my error ... Schiff was a US Prosecutor,

While Raskin is/was a university professor.

Someone should tell the screeching idiot she was asked to appear before the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack...who the hell did she think was going to be "dialed in" if not lawyers for the committee and committee members both of which are lawyers?...amazing how the Trump Toddlers and their mates continually redefine "stupid" but not in a good way...

Look, she was dancing at the White House tailgate party celebrating the insurrection (one of the most surreal images from a surreal day). Did anyone really think she would cooperate, much less act in a remotely normal way?

I understand her lawyers concern about who gets to listen in, but it shouldn't be optional to testify. It was, after all, transcribed, but not everyone would be privy to it unless it shows intent of a crime.

Of course, what do I know?

...I'll subpoena you, you're the one who's turned out to be a shrew just a few moments ago.

I'll suboena you, just leave your lawyer at home you can cry to him later on the phone.

And when the angels ask me who I knew that was a shrew I will tell them I remember you!

NOTE: The original song is likely still under copyright so any attempt to commercialize this
parody would require negotiation and permission. It is funny though. Yes, I wrote the
parody lines.
