Cipollone and Stuff
Come to find out, White House Council Pat Cipollone has agreed to appear before the J6 committee to testify behind closed doors. His testimony will be transcribed. This is the same lawyer who said “we’re going to get charged with every crime possible,” but he’s coming under subpoena, not because he wants to do the right thing.
The next public hearing will be Tuesday, July 12th. Unless it’s not.
Also of note, I have been asking friends whatever happened to Lindsey Graham? It’s unlike him to be so quiet for so long. Well, the dam broke today – he has been subpoenaed to testify before the Fulton County Grand Jury.
The subpoena issued to Graham said he made at least two calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff about “reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump.”
They’ve made it clear that he’s not a target of the investigation. He’s still fighting the subpoena. Wanna know why? Graham’s lawyer says, ““Should it stand, the subpoena issued today would erode the constitutional balance of power and the ability of a Member of Congress to do their job.”
Yeah, it’s also hard to do your job when you have to go whoring for Trump to “find” more votes.
I have no idea why he’s not a target.
“Graham’s lawyer says, “Should it stand, the subpoena issued today would erode the constitutional balance of power and the ability of a Member of Congress to do their job.”
Here’s the Senate’s schedule for 2022!
Graham’s got plenty of time from July 8 – to Aug 8, 2022, to sit down and have a talk with the J6 Committee as the Senate isn’t in session!
Then take a look at the few days the Senate is ‘in-session’ for the rest of the year!

1It makes me wonder how many absentee votes in South Carolina might have been tampered with to get him re-elected?
2Poor old Miz Lindsey! Ten to one he won’t testify unless there is a faiinting couch nearby! This guy is at th4 4nd of his luck and he knows it!
3Hopefully if the chameleon miss Lindsey is finally compelled to testify in Georgia, prosecutors already have the answers to the questions they plan to ask so he can commit perjury. They say he’s not a “target” so this would be an outcome we could enjoy. Same for Giuliani. Or, they’ll be like the general flim flam flynn and take the 5th.
4Miss Lindsey will try to use the Senate exception, except that only applies if it directly relates to legislative issues. So he has nada to go on, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try.
5I’d love to know if he asked for a pardon from TFG. If he takes the 5th, he’s guilty. If they have tapes of the phone conversations, he’s done.

Republican speak for members of Congress should be allowed to get away with any crime while a member of Congress.
7As opposed to the insurrection and Trump’s response as he was, Cipollone may very well want to do the right thing, and this subpoena just gives him some cover from the Magats’ (and Trump’s?) revenge.
Doesn’t matter either way as his testimony should be very enlightening.
8Hearing that White House lawyer Pat Cippolone agreed to answer a subpeona in a private session this Friday. Pretty certain that will be a try-out to determine if he ought to also appear on TV.
I sure hope so. References from speech to text program producing closed captions in the last hearing were diverse and interesting. “Patsy Balloney” or “Pat’s Abalone” or “pats if aloni” or “pets of belonging” — surely there can be more.
9Grandma Ada asked the question I have been thinking for years. Thank You!
I know how DeWine and his mob won. They gerrymandered, ignore the Ohio Supreme Court and found a Judge to accept their gerrymandered map.
That gang does not even try to hide their pollution any more. It is right out in the open.
Can you imagine Hillbilly Elogy Vance as a Senator? His Ma will skate down the Halls of Congress just like she did in Middletown Hospiital while stoned out of her mind
10Lady G is waiting for the fainting couch to be refurbished before anything is said .
11Well, the Brits are finally cleaning house, throwing out some trash. AFT!
BoJo gets bounced.
Tories are toast.
Remember, Boris is BFF with Donnei. They share many negative traits.
BoJo, per lots of dirt surfacing, has long been known as a liar and a cheater. Now he’s a massive loser, like his buddy.

12We used to live next door to Fulton County…I cannot imagine their Grand Jury going easy on a white S.O.B. from South Carolina trying to mess with their votes. It’s Stacy Abrams territory, after all.
