Madkal posted: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. I dunno, I read that as him saying she wasn't involved (so leave her alone)

I think Georgia is slightly more likely than DOJ to indict, but I also think both chances are slightly higher than 50/50

BiggerBoat posted: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. Much more likely they have everything they need from Jacob and Short

As Gregg Jacob said, it might have been decided in the streets.

Dr. Faustus posted:The Committee will certainly wrap up in September, as they have always said they would. That is when they will release the full report and also their legislative recommendations. I do not expect that to change, for the very reason you mention. They have always known it had to be finished before October 2022. I agree with you, I've said as much, and the only reason I don't toxx on it is because I love you all so much that I wouldn't risk my account even on that regard. So maybe a ladies/gentlemens' wager? Toward the Red Cross or something equally important.

Pissed Ape Sexist posted:I see why they had this surprise session today. It's still extremely dry but it's borderline salacious gossip, and great for TV. We already know all the players and it's obvious he knew it was illegal, yadda yadda, but today is laughable incendiary fluff so far and it's a blast. It's not fluff, it's direct testimony. Why are you all not understanding that this is different from us all knowing that it happened?
