    However, inexorably, and Pasquale Cipollone's cooperating could mean a considerable advance in the nation's interests.

    ... One of the core principles that emerged from Watergate was that lawyers cannot assist clients in ongoing crime or fraud. And they are allowed to testify despite the duty of confidentiality as to client crime or fraud. Stated succinctly, there is no attorney-client privilege when it comes to a client’s ongoing scheme to defraud someone or to commit a crime.

    Further, a government lawyer has a very circumscribed attorney-client privilege — even where one does exist. During the Bill Clinton years, it was established in a case involving deputy White House counsel Bruce Lindsey that “White House lawyers cannot keep evidence of crimes committed by government officials to themselves.” The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia noted “openness in government has always been thought crucial to ensuring that the people remain in control of their government.”

    Today, Trump’s course of conduct is continuing — he continues to falsely assert that the 2020 election was stolen, and he refuses to concede the election. Nor has he fully condemned the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol.

    Nothing dumb about it a proper AG would be protecting any future prosecutions and telling this partisan charade to stay out of his business.

    "May" but not listed under PURPOSE. And neither would require the testimony of officials at the White House or others associated with Trump or investigation into their communications or discussions. Both of those are solely about the actions of the Capitol Hill leadership. What does the testimony about the SUV have to do with the above? And I've heard NOTHING in testimony about either of those "corrective measures".

    Cipollone met with the committee for nearly eight hours on Friday. Pasquale appeared voluntarily and answered a whole variety of questions. He did not contradict any of the the testimony of any prior witness.

    The interview was recorded on video and could be featured at upcoming hearings, including one on Tuesday about how the violent Trump goons came together and the role of extremist groups, as well as another hearing -- which hasn't yet been scheduled -- on the 187 minutes of Trump's inaction as rioters stormed the US Capitol.

    The methodical exposé by one Republican officeholder after another and Trump regime insider operatives aplenty has been relentless is exposing the truth.

    Trump's lie that he had won the election in a "Landslide!" resulted in various attempts to nullify democracy, and has continues to inflict damage on the nation, but the truth is emerging, and shall prevail. Trump's and his dead-ender lickspittles' desperate efforts to conceal what went down is failing.

    Oh yeah, and what are the Kardashians up to? I know if you watch the phony hearings you watch other garbage as well.

    GOP HOUSE MEMBER WHO VOTED TO IMPEACH TRUMP CONCEDES: “Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, one of two Republican members of Washington’s congressional delegation who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, has conceded her reelection bid after being overtaken in late vote tallies by an intraparty challenger. Trump had targeted the six-term incumbent and endorsed Joe Kent, a former Green Beret, in the 3rd Congressional District contest. The district is in southwest Washington state, across the border from Portland, Oregon.”

    She also voted for J6 witch-hunt.

    bye!
    "Trump had targeted the six-term incumbent and endorsed Joe Kent, a former Green Beret, in the 3rd Congressional District contest."

    An incumbent member of Congress hasn't lost a primary in Washington state in 92 years.

    Even the splitter strategy couldn't quite save her... Unfortunately, it saved Newhouse in the 4th district though...

    In similar news, it appears that a Pence endorsement is a kiss of death for any candidate who accepts it.
