Haven't seen this in NYT yet.

That sure is a lot of subpoenas.

#227

It sure is! It’s more than 35! But I don’t see nuthin about no raid.

Didn’t they raid to deliver them, like Marjo said?

Breaking from
@ZcohenCNN

@SaraMurray

@evanperez
and
@kpolantz
: a federal judge has ordered the Pats (Philbin and Cipollone) to provide additional testimony to a federal grand jury in the 1/6 criminal probe.

We'll see, hope springs eternal

THE STORM IS COMING!

(quietly)

#240

Call me a pessimist but I've seen little that shows me the DOJ and the Dems are no more than simply Paper Tigers rattling sabres. Folding like cheap wrinkled suits in the end each time.

GET THE F'IN JOB DONE!

or as my elders used to say, SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT.

I mean, not for nothing, but as I pass by my early 50s, the former does take longer than it used to.

New:
@FionaGlisson
spotted former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone with prosecutor Thomas Windom at the federal courthouse in D.C. today. They went to the floor where grand juries meet.

Kendra · #243

Also spotted headed into the federal grand jury today: former deputy White House Counsel Pat Philbin (via

and
@FionaGlisson
).

Neon, I have no trouble calling you a pessimist.

I don’t share your pessimism, howsomever, because I’m an internal optimist even when I’m pessimistic on the outside.

The appointment of Jack Smith has changed my external tune to match the one I’m singing in my heart. “We” got this, even if we never see the outcome. How old was daddy drumpf when he died? The thought of tfg ending like that, with dementia and in diapers, facing down prosecutors and losing, warms my heart.

Kendra · #245

I missed this one from yesterday.

NYT reports: Dan Scavino, Trump’s former social media guru, “appeared in front of a grand jury in Federal District Court in Washington” on Thursday.

How potentially significant is Scavino’s testimony?

Or buckle like a belt....

I'll come in again...

Kendra · #248

Oh.

It’s partly why I’m wondering if both grand juries met today and there was a little bouncing around. Cipollone and Philbin overlapped for about 2.5 hours today and they clearly weren’t testifying simultaneously to one grand jury.

Kendra · #249

And now Philbin has departed along with lawyer Michael Purpura (right) https://politico.com/news/2022/12/0

To recap: Former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone spent 6 hours with the grand jury. His deputy Pat Philbin spent 4 hours with the grand jury.

It amuses me that lawyers have lawyers have lawyers have lawyers ∞ in Trumpystan.
