Thank you John Wood for reading this guys written words for him, Jesus Christ. It would have taken the judge at least ten times as long.

I think Judge Luttig is currently constituted, primarily, of gravitas.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Right, HE DOES, but I just meant it would probably have leaked by now. I don't see what sort of blowback or fear he'd have from testifying though, for the reasons I outlined. MAGA's already hate him. Doesn't seem like he did anything wrong or illegal (which is why they hate him). Trump cant hurt him I don't think. Unless he got up to some poo poo unrelated and Donald can out him somehow.

What would he really have to worry about directly related to 1/6?

He's probably well aware of various facets of illegal plotting to overthrow the election. Remember he didn't become persona non grata to the maga crowd until he refused to not count the votes on Jan 6. I'm sure he was plenty involved in nefarious poo poo before then. So I wouldn't be surprised if he was very wary of testifying.

If anyone had a basis for trying something it was Al Gore. What a loving boondoggle this entire thing was. I'm still trying to picture what would have happened if Pence did send the votes back and it's just not even something I can put in my head.

Hell, just show the opening minutes of Fahrenheit 9/11. It's an extended sequence of Al Gore presiding over the electoral count vote certification in January of 2001 and an entire procession of Democrat congresspeople just coming up to the podium and begging him to do something to stop Bush from becoming president, and Gore calmly, one by one, telling them all to gently caress off because he was bound by the law to certify the election.

If Pence kicked things back, the Trump firehose of scandals would have been turned on full blast so nobody would be able to focus on any one thing for too long before the next scandal distracted them. And this would go on and on until 2024 with Trump settling into a second term through inertia.
