“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
I would be shocked if it’s not also on video. The court reporter is definitely going to record the interview to ensure the accuracy of the final transcript, and I would think Cipollone wants an accurate recording of everything he says. Transcripts can be distorted more than video can.
The J6 proceedings aren’t “legal” in the sense of being bound by the Federal Rules of Evidence or whatever. The only real difference is their political effect.
Bucks County congressman Jim Greenwood, both Republicans, have endorsed Democratic state Attorney General Josh Shapiro in his campaign for governor over Republican nominee Doug Mastriano.

Yep, and I am wary that they are setting up Eastman and Clark to be the fall guys.
Insulating Trump is the #1 priority for Trump, FoxNewsMaxONN, and all of Trump’s minions.
Notice both Eastman and Clark have fifth-ed themselves to death, at their interviews.
And without their testimony, we may never know what they and Trump said to each other, while alone together. Though we DO know East and Clark were in on meetings with Trump and others.
Problem for Trump is, when he gets angry, he screams. And then everyone present can testify as to what he said. And that isn’t hearsay. That is direct witness testimony.
Wyoming is a heavily Red state with a single statewide House seat due to the low population. No split districts where someone less conservative (or less MAGA these days) has a chance. If she’s still down by 30 points or more in the polling, there probably aren’t enough disaffected GOP voters for her to win as an Independent.
Also I think her heart is with the GOP and it would be difficult to go Independent. She likes everything about the GOP except Trump.
