This is a borderline "never heard of her and she never did anything anyway and probably brought me coffee once and is just a jealous loser anyway" response from Donny. The kind of response he usually gives when one of his underlings does something and he feels he has to pretend that they never existed.

Bannon has already talked to Trump and told him exactly what he is going to say/lie about. He convinced Trump and such. They would be a fool to do anything with him unless it's to get for perjury.

drat, I wish [unnamed witness] had picked up and recorded the conversation, because that would have been doomsday. As it stands, tubby can say it was a butt-dial or someone else had his phone or he just wanted to know where he left his girdle. Without direct goddamn dead to rights evidence, it’s only going to warrant is a shrug as far as the law is concerned.

I was thinking the same thing but I would assume that Trump was told that he must absolutely not contact a list of people under any circumstance.

I always wonder what are people's breaking points. For the oath keeper dude it was Holocaust denial.
We live in Canada but that hasn't stopped my dad from saying what a great president Trump is and how he is great for the economy and speaks the truth and isn't afraid to offend, but when January 6 happened my dad started saying what a terrible person Trump is and how he hopes Trump gets arrested and sent to jail for it.
I figure a lot of people have a tipping point, maybe it's seeing the Confederate flag being paraded around the buildings in Washington, or seeing the kind of people marching for the same leader you like. I'm not saying ever chud is redeemable, or every one of them reaches that "aha" moment, it might even take some a long long time, but not everyone is worth writing off straight away.

I regret to inform you that my dad, a fox news consumer, says the jan 6 Committee opens the door to political investigation theater where Republicans will simply jail all the Democrats when they gain power. The committee was illegitimate the second they didn't let Republicans place persons of interest like Jordan on the panel investigating the crime he was involved in.

And Cassidy was fake news, she got every detail wrong about the one portion of her testimony regarding trump in the secret service car and nobody is corroborating it, so everything else she said is wrong too.

And all the Republican testimony they keep using as evidence? People trying to win politically, telling "half truths" under oath, with their messages being twisted by the committee to sell Democrat votes.

Sorry y'all pack it in the country appears to be over. Crimes committed by politicians cannot be prosecuted by the government because it's too political.

I seem to remember a whole bunch of committees and interviews about Benghazi. Also Clinton actually going to those. I'm assuming your dad just memory holed those.

You know how Trump's kids greatfully benefitted by nepotism when he was in the office to the point that one of his own kids was given a government advisor title which just meant tax payer money went to paying her and what bullshit that is. Well dumbfucks favourite way of defending there orange idol is by accusing the opposition of all the poo poo he has done and they think Hunter is somehow worse than all the poo poo Trump's unloved children have done.

Personally I think its great that they have these enablers testifying because it should shut up people who say this is all the Democrats going after Trump. Sadly I think the chuds are great at burying their head in the sand and saying these people are democrat antifa commies or some such poo poo.
