In this case, it was a Fox segment that Fox decided not to actually air.

In general, right-wing conspiracies are surprisingly prone to recording each other. Part of it seems to be that they don't trust each other all that much. Keeping blackmail material on their co-conspirators helps them keep each other in line and discourage careless betrayals. If Ted Cruz looks at the declining fortunes of the Trump movement and decides he's gonna start loudly denouncing Jan 6, they could break out this tape and show he was all for it at the time.

That's how it works in theory, anyway. Far-right groups usually have at least a few people who are incredibly petty and selfish, so this stuff often slips out as a result of minor feuds or grudges.

I remember the late great Robert Anton Wilson’s take on this being that most conspiracies have a shelf life of about ten years before people start backstabbing each other, so really at this point we’re ahead of schedule.

That was Hannity, IIRC (although I guess that doesn't negate the possibility that Tucker also did that).

Trump loses appeal to block Pence from testifying about direct communications

quote:



Former President Donald Trump has lost an emergency attempt to block former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying about their direct conversations, in the latest boost to a federal criminal investigation examining Trump’s and others’ actions after the 2020 election.

The former president has repeatedly tried and failed to close off some answers from witnesses close to him in the special counsel’s investigation. This latest order from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals likely will usher in Pence’s grand jury testimony quickly – an unprecedented development in modern presidential history.

The unanimous decision, from Judges Patricia Millett, Robert Wilkins and Greg Katsas on the DC Circuit, came in a sealed case on Wednesday night that CNN previously identified as Trump’s executive privilege challenge to Pence.

Trump has tried to block Pence from testifying about their direct communications, even after the former vice president wrote about some of those exchanges and a lower-court judge had ruled against him.

Trump asked the DC Circuit for emergency intervention weeks ago. The court refused to put on hold Pence’s subpoena and to override the lower-court ruling, flatly denying Trump’s requests.

Trump could try to appeal again and even press the issue at the Supreme Court. Yet he gave up pushing several past executive privilege challenges to special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation after similar rulings from this court of appeals.

Expected, as his appeals were specious, but good to see.

Did Trump basically try to use the "spouses can't be made to testify against each other", but with regards to the offices of the Vice President and the President?

Incredibly stupid position considering the president is Biden and he has the sole authority to make that determination. I really wish courts would dismiss the nonsense arguments sooner. Wheels of justice grinding slow is a bug not a feature.

Pence testified for 7 hours yesterday. Unless he dropped some bombs that spark off a whole new series of subpoenas this has got to be a sign that the investigation is culminating.

I'll believe he's in the "find out" phase when he's actually held in contempt. We've seen this song and dance before, where a judge will have stern words with Trump's legal team but then chicken out when actually holding him accountable.

It's even dumber than that. When Biden was over here two weeks ago, Trump was tweeting Truthing about how Biden was absent from America at a crucial time with WW3 about to break out. All the while knowing that he was going to be coming over here two weeks later.

That could lead to one of the greatest comedy moments of the 21st century, when Scotland arrests and extradites Trump back to the United States to face charges of fleeing on bail and failure to appear before the court.
