Yeah, I guess the surprising part is the documentation.

With regard to the Stone/PB connection, you'd need a three-part transcript including Stone's communications with Trump. I wonder if that exists anywhere -- I'm sure Trump understands the concept and need for a "Chinese Wall," but does he have the self-control to maintain one?

Mick Mulvaney @MickMulvaney

My guess is that before this is over, we will be hearing testimony from Ornato, Engle, and Meadows.

This is explosive stuff. If Cassidy is making this up, they will need to say that. If she isn't they will have to corroborate.

I know her. I don't think she is lying.

I thought Mulvaney was a saboteur and a grifter...just another MagaMoron. Are you saying you want to believe him now?

And no, Mick. If she is lying, it doesn't matter. Her comments will survive a two or three media cycles, and that's all that matters to the Star Chamber.

Virtually anyone close to Trump is a liar and a grifter. If one of the deigns to tell the truth about him, he throws them under the bus and sics his thugs or wingnut media upon them (as is happening now with Cassidy Hutchinson). That's why so many refuse to testify or choose plead the Fifth. Hell, Flynn even plead the Fifth to a question as to whether he believes in the peaceful transfer of power.

""A witness can waive (give up) the right to invoke the Fifth by later making statements about the topic in question. For example, if a witness invokes the Fifth but goes on to selectively answer questions about the same subject matter, a judge might decide that the later answers invalidate the initial waiver.""

From a search off the net.

I've heard in the past once you answer the 5th every answer after needs to be the same. To protect the person being questioned.

I stand by my statement that the committee has backup proof for any statements being made. They have locked down more information then is being released. Perjury is also a crime and prostituting this gang of traitors for crimes is the end game.

And the interesting thing is that virtually all of the Trump minions and thugs pleading the Fifth or asserting privilege (Bannon, Meadows, Clark, Eastman, Rudy, Flynn ... have written books and/or spoken extensively on Fox News or other wingnut media sources about Jan. 6.

I'd include the MAGAMorons, as well. They are an incredibly gullible bunch.

Cheney's closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
There is an old maxim: it's never the crime, it's always the coverup.
That's how they got Nixon.

[Oerets]

Hope that my gut is correct in thinking. The committee would never have let her testify unless they could prove the statements. Pictures, video, corroborating witness statements, texts ect....

Is there any way we can start a poll on this forum? If I could I'd start one about who of Traitor Don's henchmen is going to roll over on him first. So many to choose from. Topping the list would be ones who asked for but didn't get pardons. Also in the running would be John Eastman who dropped the suit to keep the Jan 6 committee from getting info from his cell phone.
Who has the most to lose? Who's butt is hanging out the furthest? Who's the least concerned about retribution from the MAGAmorons? I wonder what the "Vegas" odds are?
