The Jan. 6 Committee issued subpoenas on Tuesday to three people purportedly involved in discussions with Trump administration officials and rally planners on Jan. 6.
[“In both cases, the committee asked about communications that the men had with organizers of the rally as well as with speakers, which included Trump, Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), and others.”]
People resist questions. Because questions call for answers. For example, I have seen ESL students in conversations with teachers listening to sentences spoken to them in English with contented (and knowledgeable) expressions on their faces (including accompanying nods of understanding)…until a question is asked
In these Trump minions’ cases, answering questions incorrectly carry more consequences than the smiling assistance of the ESL teacher.
The committee says that, based on its own investigation, it has reason to believe that Schwartz and Surabian communicated with each other, Trump Jr., Katrina Pierson, Kimberley Guilfoyle, and rally financier Julie Fancelli before Jan. 6.
Julie Fancelli is heiress to the Publix supermarket fortune and a rabid Trump supporter. So glad she’s in the crosshairs.
Also interesting that Alex Jones and Mo Brooks keep coming up.
OK for now, but we’re all going to need to be a lot more active, and soon … even in Doo-Dah. My brother is a long-time resident. When I visited him in 2017, I enjoyed watching ads for the special election for (what I think) was Pompeo’s seat. I was surprised that the special election was even close.
If his speech was written by someone who was NOT a government employee that’s one step closer to saying the speech was a campaign rally and NOT part of his job as president (which was his attorney’s reasoning yesterday for why he can’t be held responsible for what he said and did on Jan 6). If one of his PACs or his campaign paid for any parts of the rally - one step closer…
Pretty sure Worthington isn’t the Select Committee’s target here. As the guy who wrote Trump’s speech, they’re closing in on the Donald.
How much closer can you get than his idiot son and his speechwriter for the 1/6 speech? I wonder what the conversations are like at Mar-a-Lago between the two right now.
