Right Jim. Sure.

McCarthy reportedly delivered an ultimatum to freshmen members of his caucus, saying that he would revoke committee assignments from any Republican member if they accepted an offer from Pelosi to join the select committee.

Suppress investigation of an attack on our capital at all costs.

McCarthy is a traitor covering for other traitors.

I think he’s needy enough to do it, but it wouldn’t end well for him.

He didn’t say it because he believes or disbelieves it’ll actually happen.

This is strategic, not tactical.

Will this DOJ enforce the subpoenas?

I think they should continue to repeat this, that he “could” testify - but subpoena everyone else first. Build the case. Get a few of those insurrectionists in there. Get them all to day “T**** told me to be there. He said “stand back and stand by” to let us know to prepare for war.”

Not only will he flip out, but I bet he and his idiot offspring will keep going on RW media and blabbing stuff out there that can be used against him.

So that wasn’t the sound of fireworks last night, that was the sound of thousands of Republican lawyers slapping their foreheads.
I just can’t wait to hear the excuses:
Executive privilege
I don’t remember

Incredible optimism unless the DOJ is willing to enforce subpoenas…who could even imagine Trumps feeble brain enduring an all day testimony without stepping on his swantz dozens of times…

He has already done so on the benefits payments that his accountant is now charged with fraud over.

This guy can’t help but brag about his perceived achievements.

Well, sure have the select committee call the imbecile if all they want is one lie after another. Who would call him, they all know he’s crazed.

No. See above. This is strategic, not tactical.

Could but won’t. Exactly what is the point of this sort of speculation? I’d imagine focusing on what can and will happen makes more sense but media attention…

‘Cause the current crop of Gov & Lt.Gov isn’t bad enough.
