The J6 Committee clearly knows stuff–stuff, I hasten to add, that will be heading over to the DoJ.
Christopher Barcenas, PB and Floridian First guy, says that he reached level two in the Proud Boys, which involved being punched while naming 5 cereals.
This sounds like a game my brothers played when we were kids (but not w me!)
Billy, old son, you’re made of stronger stuff than I am. By the time I got to Raskin’s question to Stone whether he would answer a question that didn’t expose him to potential self-incrimination, I’d had enough. Picturing that smug, simpering swine thinking he’s so damned clever just about put me over the edge.
That’s too good for him - yellow star forever on his person, visible to all… now there’s a start.
Meh…I’d be arguing she answered yes and waived her 5th at that point. Judges aren’t particularly thrilled with attorneys busting in to instruct their clients how to answer by doing things like saying more than just “objection.” And if she was already answering that she recognized the document, that part at the very least should be considered answered, not privileged.
It’s an annoying trick smarmy lawyers will play though. I had an officer from a big gov’t taking authority dead to rights on having signed answers to Interrogatories that were demonstrably false based on documents I was going over with him once, and I’ll never forget the angry “big firm” attorney with him interrupting his spluttering attempts to dodge the questions by objecting several times by saying “objection, speculation” such that the stumbling, excuse making buffoon suddenly began answering “Oh, I don’t know how to answer that…you’re asking me to speculate” to every question. Thankfully we settled, because that clown was going to end up causing us a headache in motion practice.
I don’t know that Dominion will settle. They very much need to clear their good name.
And their case(s) appear strong:

OT: In somewhat broken English, but still with stentorian tones, Zelenski laid a Churchill on Congress tonight.
Wow.
This is…panic…
For someone like him.
Winning the defamation suit won’t clear their name sufficiently that they can sell election gear to red states. The damage is permanent.
I wouldn’t go that far. He didn’t coin any new lines and mostly just referenced existing tropes and historical events. But he did a good job, no screwups, and the exchange of a battle flag for the capitol flag was awesome. Now fly that battle flag in the senate chamber until the funding bill is passed.
Who’s the other game in town?
I don’t know of any. There’s another national election in less than two years.
I don’t know that the red states have a choice.

There are many. Including smartmatic, who are also sueing for defamation.
I don’t know that the red states have a choice.
You could spend 30 seconds looking it up before asserting your lack of knowledge defines the options.
Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy for organizing groups to storm the Capitol in an effort to block Joe Biden from taking office, told the panel “I feel like a Jew in Germany, frankly.”
Me (muttering): “bootleg freikorp got jokes.”
If given a billion dollars, the owners will just take the money and retire.
If he was being treated like a Jew in Nazi Germany he would be physically incapable of bitching about it.
Gonna be higher
Smartmatic’s rep has been decimated too.
Next?
