includes members of former President Trump’s cabinet

OHHHH!!!

nice.

Likely, it’s the ones who resigned. And they finally feel safe to testify. I credit Liz herself for this. She has been vigilant in bringing new testimony in. She’s very persuasive.

Cheney also said the committee is in contact with the legal counsel of Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and is “fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena” if she doesn’t come forward voluntarily.

Christmas in July!!!

Pressing the SS for the evidence one way or another. The SS Inspector General has proven itself unworthy. Standard practice to bring in an outside agency. I like it!

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if one of those that had resigned and want to testify would be one Elaine Chao???

Well, I doubt her spouse would disapprove.

But there’d likely have to be something in it for her.

It’s how she plays.

TFG hates MoscowMitch already, so the McConnell’s have nothing to lose.

Is Mark Meadows saying:
“Oh yeah, well me and Trump will put all you Democrat congress people in jail in 2025, especially if I’m out of prison by then. How dare you not sniff Drumpfarts ® with the rest of us!”

From the Article:

["During an interview on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ Luria also shed light on what new information the panel hopes to have by the time its hearings resume in September now that the ’floodgates have opened.'

Luria said that although the committee’s original intent was for Thursday’s hearing to be the grand finale, their plans changed because ’so many more witnesses have come forward’ The panel is also receiving and requesting new information, which includes information from the Secret Service, Luria said."] emphases added

…speaks for itself…

And the feeling is most certainly mutual.

IANAL but could one of ya’lls tell me why after losing 60ish court case, a full “forensic” audit in AZ which turned up more votes for Biden, these cult members insist that there was fraud in the 2020 election?
Or that measures taken during A Fucking Global Pandemic, which were implemented to protect voters and volunteer poll workers, was some kind of illegal? Can at least one of these yahoos point to a voter that cast their ballot for Biden, and also cast a ballot for Biden from their dead parent?

This does not apply in the real world:

you’ve gotta have proof.

Greed, ignorance, stupidity, delusion, desperation to feel superior to someone else, and various combinations thereof. It’s a hearty stew!

I think “the Chao’s” works.

Taking down the open insanity of the MAGA cult would be worth it for her and her husband…the things they are saying are going to make enough people turn against Republicans that they may just lose their ability to control the system. If Trump goes, odds are all but the true believers (a la Mastriano) fall into line with the Republicans who are working quietly to undo our democracy. McConnell and company want to pull that off in the shadows, Republicans crowing about their plan to overturn our elections and install a theocracy makes it harder to do it without people noticing.

Same goes for SCOTUS. Roberts’ plan to dismantle our democracy out of sight of the hoi polloi using carefully chosen cases that fly under the radar has been dashed by the Fascist Five who would much rather grab the power and run.
