Wait a Minute. She Paid a Lawyer Money To Do That Thinking
Okay, come to find out, Ginni Thomas ain’t real anxious to testify before the Jan 6 Committee.
Not only does the committee have emails between Ginni and John Eastman …
Lawmakers also have text messages Thomas exchanged with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in which she urged him to work toward overturning Joe Biden’s victory.
But her lawyer, Mark Paoletta, indicated that Ginni’s earlier statement that she was anxious “to come clear up misconceptions” before the committee may not be the operative plan.
“Mrs. Thomas has expressed a willingness to try to come before the Committee as a means of clearing her name,” Paoletta continued. “But, based on my understanding of the facts … I do not believe there is currently a sufficient basis to speak with Mrs. Thomas.”
So clearing her name isn’t sufficient?
Paoletta contends that she simply invited Eastman to come speak to a conservation group, and that her text to Mark Meadows of “Do not concede” was her merely “texting with a friend.”
“Without more information, I am left to believe that, if her name were Ginni Jones, the Committee would never even entertain speaking with her,” he wrote.
Well, damn. That’s some fancy lawyering right there. Honey, they wouldn’t be asking to speak to her if her name was Juanita Jean either. You wanna know why? Because Juanita Jean didn’t try to overthrow the United States government.
