BUT... But... but... all those SCOTUS members he placed into strategic positions Revoke their nominations asap

[Foggy]

Revoke their nominations asap

Yes, and that is exactly as possible as re-installing Trump in the White House.

"For the record," the justices could have chosen not to publish their votes to grant.

But simple math indicates no more than three justices would have voted to grant.

Underbussing?

BREAKING: Ivanka Trump is in talks with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol about the possibility of cooperating with the panel, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

[June bug]

IMHO it’s just a delaying tactic.

IMHO it’s just a delaying tactic.

Until we get a report that has (past tense) met with the Committee and not invoked the 5th, the assumption should be that this is the usual bullshit.

House January 6 committee is meeting with Kimberly Guilfoyle

(CNN)Kimberly Guilfoyle is currently being interviewed by the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol Hill riot, according to a source familiar with the deposition.

Guilfoyle is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump's son, and was a member of the Trump campaign.

Guilfoyle was involved in raising money for the Trump campaign and the January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally. She was seen backstage with Trump and other high level White House and campaign officials during the rally. She also spoke at the rally, telling the crowd, "We will not allow the liberals and the Democrats to steal our dream or steal our elections."

Guilfoyle's appearance is notable, because while CNN has reported that the committee had subpoenaed and obtained her phone records, she has not publicly been issued a subpoena to appear before the committee.

A committee spokesperson declined to comment.

CNN has reached out to an attorney seen heading to meet with the committee this morning.

Moar at the link/thread.

Whoa, I didn't realize my sympathy meter could register negative numbers, hmm.

[Reality Check]

It was probably the ground rule about telling the truth and nothing but the truth that was the sticking point.

[Reality Check]

I read some of the Twitter stream. She freaked that some of the members of the January 6th committee were on the call where she was testifying before the January 6th committee.

Whoa, I didn't realize my sympathy meter could register negative numbers, hmm.

"To infinity and beyond!"

Kimberly Guilfoyle abruptly bailed today when she saw Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin on the call. Spokesperson said she didn’t want them there because they are “notorious for leaking” to the press.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A Mercer County man who pleaded guilty to his role in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol has died.



Matthew Perna’s family said he died last week of a “broken heart.” In his obituary, the family said, “The justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life.” There was no cause of death given.

Updated: He died by suicide.

[Reality Check]

[raison de arizona]

Yup.

Federal prosecutors said Perna broke into the Capitol through a U.S. Senate entry door after rioters breached barriers erected by law enforcement outside the complex. Perna remained inside the Senate wing lobby for about 20 minutes.

He used a cell phone to record an eight-minute video to his Facebook account. During the video, Perna’s comments included, “It’s not over, trust me.”

It's over.

President Biden will deny the shield of executive privilege for two top advisers to former President Donald Trump — his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and former trade adviser Peter Navarro — in the House select committee's Jan. 6 investigation, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The move will likely force Flynn and Navarro to make a choice: cooperate with the select committee or face potential criminal referral from Congress to the Department of Justice.

Navarro vowed to take his case to the Supreme Court.
Flynn's attorney responded to the White House by insisting that his client has not asserted executive privilege or refused to appear for a deposition by the Jan. 6 committee.
