“Chip Baloney? Never heard of him!” – Donald J Trump
@Norris Fong Not only has he heard of them, but he’s likely _eating_ them as I type.
Lmao 🤣
Donald J Trump? Never heard of him. Is he the toilet cleaner?(lots of flushing)
He’s a coward. All of these so called men in positions of power, acting like cowards when it comes to doing the right thing. It’s shameful.
They’re integrity depleted cowards, every one of them.
@myself Democrats say you are guilty then you must prove that you are not guilty.
Entitlement is more like it
This dude has to talk. If not then he’s a criminal just like his boss….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

COWARDS…….
He should. He was a lawyer for an institution and not for trump! There is no atty client privilege
@Hugh Jassol I’ve watched most of it….Hutchinson is NOT BELIEVABLE…you should watch her body language and facial expressions….quit being ignorant 🙄
@Sandy Oday Body language analysis is not a method to evaluate factual claims. Her testimony correlates with other statements, events, and Trump’s own words in interviews. Her testimony does not exist in a vacuum.
That’s exactly right, and this guy knows it they got to squeeze this guy with pertinent questions, P.S you know everyone is not willing to lose their law license or go to jail for Trump
@Tri Nguyen I don’t think that’s how the 5th Amendment works.
News Media: Mr. Trump, Pat Cipollone is going before the January 6th Commission.
Trump: Who’s that?
News Media: The guy who worked for you in the white house.
Trump: Don’t know him….
“Ok here’s the deal: I’ll come in but won’t answer a single question as I plead the 5th throughout the entire line of questioning.”
@doris affissio I’m sure he has made more than enough already as a high-powered lawyer to take care of all 10 kids until each reaches 18. If he finds that money is tight then the family could down size, have the wife go back to work if she’s not currently, and shops at WalMart.
Except there’s enough evidence that they don’t need him to testify to put him at the scene of the crime. He realizes this is likely his last chance to salvage any big of his reputation.
“i dont recall”
Guilty…Guilty…Guilty!!!!
I hope he remembers Kushner called the WH counsel a bunch of whiners for threatening to resign.

They are a bunch of whiners
Transparency!
MAKE HIM FACE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
STOP LETTING THESE PEOPLE HIDE.
I agree. He shouldn’t be making deals.
This will be his only chance to carry on with any hope of redemption. If he lies, he will never recover.
He said something like “read my lips” but they were hidden under a roll of over-microwaved hotdog suit.

oops, sorry. I thought we were still talking about Gray Ham

@B. T. 🤣🤣🤣
That executive privilege can be invoked even when it’s likely that a crime has been committed is mind boggling
@Rose X which he’s already done once, they just have new questions that have arisen from later testimony that he could shed light on. I assume he’s only answering questions to corroborate other people’s testimony, not about actual conversations with the former president. Those questions will probably be off the table.
@BunzeeBear Didn’t Trump wrote hundreds of names, their crimes, and pardons before he left office⁉️ He knew who was guilty and had committed what crimes‼️
“I’m the greatest negotiator, I only hire the best”
That thing.
Trump left Puerto Rico with a 33 million dollars in debt bankruptcy golf resort
@miapdx I don’t care how well they function I’m worried about the justice system if this becomes a more widespread acceptable alternative to the Fifth. The Fifth is an admission that they might incriminate themselves. I can’t recall is just an f you. so far without repercussions.
@miapdx And or finking on the Donald.
So basically Cipollone is not protected by EP unless there is a question about official WH business. There is no attorney/client privilege. I can’t imagine a question where he would be in personal criminal liability so there is no 5th amendment concerns.
My point is that this should be pretty, pretty interesting.
“ I can’t imagine a question where he would be in personal criminal liability ”. I can. Just being Whitehouse counsel doesn’t exempt a person from plotting a coup. Or from being an accessory, aiding and abetting, whatever the technical term is. He surely had more obligation than just his jib description (to inform the President and his cronies that what they were planning was illegal). Once he had reason to think they would go ahead with it, he had the same duty as any official — as any citizen — to inform law enforcement about this conspiracy to use force to prevent the certification (and so the peaceful transfer of power.)
He has some deal worked out, as long as he gets in there and answers truthfully.
I am thinking the noose is tightening for diaper don.
AREN’T WE_THE_PEOPLE JIS CLIENT?
@casper191985 you really hope it’s a nothing 🍔.
Of course he did. He was waiting to be the “hero”. Whatever. I am just glad that everyone is finally talking so we know how to strengthen our Democracy.
@Mark Hough The land native Americans were born in no longer exist … so your point is?
@Q the Kat And you know communism how?
@Michelangelo Buonarroti INFORMATION: _islame will soon reach end of life, and therefore there will no longer be any security updates for this OS._
We are though, happy to announce that *islame 2.0* has been relased under the name *”Atheist Religion”* and that you can easily upgrade to this new version under “search for updates”.
For around 100 years, atheist religion OS has been beta tested, and in those 100 years, more than 110 million people have been slaughtered in its name, making it a worthy competitor to islame 1.0
So, what are the changes in islame V2.0 Atheist Religion?
Well, the only real change is, that the word *”allah”* has been replaced with the word *”science”.*
And since in islame everything is backwards, V2.0 of islame is of course also fully backwards compatible with islame 1.0
This means, that the same unscientific claims apply as in islame 1.0.
For example, while in islame 1.0 you have to believe that women have a sperm reservoir in the necklage region, in islame 2.0 Atheist Religion, you have to believe that a man can menstruate and that there are a billion different genders.
Pedophilia, incest, homosexuality, trans genderism, bestiality, cannibalism and necrophilia is of course also still legal in islame V2.0 Atheist religion.
And encouraged.
I neither understand the headline nor the *deal* – you get a subpoena, you either show up or you go to jail, isn’t that how it’s supposed to go? How many common people will get such an ‘invitation’ and can just say No?
🤔My thoughts exactly!😤
It’s more complicated than this, but basically, the Executive Branch (of which the Department of Justice is a part) has enforcement power, and Congress has lawmaking power, not vice versa. If you ignore a congressional subpoena, Congress has to pass it on to the DoJ and the DoJ might choose not to prosecute. However, if the DoJ issues a subpoena and you ignore it, they have the power to enforce it and probably will.
@racookster Thanks, racookster, that’s a good explainer for everyone, and I got a little ahead of myself. But the impatience is still justified. It’s a subpoena issued by the Congress of the U.S., and the DoJ is basing their decision on what? In the end it’s about the meaning and power of a subpoena, it shouldn’t be a question, it’s not a friendly invitation to ignore and hope for the best. I understand that this is not the same as a court hearing – I’d say it’s probably more important and significant than some court hearings. It should be a clear cut case for the DoJ, subpoena should mean you go either way. So the critique is directed at the DoJ, but I also don’t fully get the negotiating: tell them to appear, and in the very least they will have to take their chances.
@sepiae— I wasn’t really even criticizing the DoJ. Many House members are lawyers and most of those have been prosecutors, but they’re not practicing now and their aims are different (fact-finding in this case, and making new laws to prevent something like January 6th from ever happening again). The U.S. Attorneys in the DoJ *are* prosecutors. If they issue subpoenas, they’re already fairly sure they’re looking at a case they can win.
Cipollone has 2 days left before Trump has “never heard of him” as he was a “low level employee”
“He was in charge of ordering the fast food and making coffee”.
– DJT –
LOL…yep, 45 will never have heard of him! 😀
Trump living in your head 24/7.
I think he might have brought me coffee once, but I really can’t recall.
Imagine a regular person among us mortals who could dictate the terms of such a thing
Kinda the same as Trump being held in contempt of court, but never arrested huh.
That’s exactly what I was thinking- does this mean if I’m subpoenaed I can negotiate terms?
They would be in jail in 2 seconds.
Wish Cipollone would testify live, during the Hearings, like Cassidy Hutchinson did.
But that takes COURAGE & PATRIOTISM…..
@LA7ERA1U5 Is that you Donnie?
Tick Tick Tick……Justice is coming
@Joanne Walen Amen!
You can bet they are not sleeping well.
@Paul Stedmond Alex Jones was here
@bob bob Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.”
@Wasn’t Me Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.”
My God that comment from Jared still gets under my skin and makes my nails bleed 🤬 Such arrogance 🤮
Let’s hope he will follow in daddy’s footsteps and gets jailed 👍🏻
When jared speaks mirrors and sidewalks crack. People get headaches and some even blow lunch
@scooterbob OMG.. good one..lol. He walks around with that face as though he just smelled a fart 🌚🌚
@NotABot90 he might already have one.
His (Pat Cipollone)s Children will grow up in a better world if He Speaks the truth. I truly Believe He knows this.
