Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said he though the process for deciding the 2020 election had ended by mid-December, just after the Electoral College met to cast formal votes for president.

“Did I believe she should concede the election at a point in time?” Cipollone asked the Jan. 6 committee in a videotaped interview. “Yes I did.”

He pointed to comments from then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Dec. 15, 2020, saying that the process had already played out, and added, “That would be in line with my thinking on these things.”

  1. Good News 🗞️ About DONALD JOHN CHUMP 😂 ALL OVER 🤩 FACEBOOK 😂 And TWITTER 😂 Brother 😂!!!!

  2. They still should be, if they haven’t been destroyed. A few actually disappeared from polling stations shortly after closing.

  3. I’d like to hear in context to what he’s saying, not just a snippet that could be misinterpreted.I want the whole truth, that can only be done viewing the entire interview

    1. No matter what, Trump supporters interpret something other than what was said. No matter the context, he said Trump should have conceded. Children understood!

    2. @Cleon Floyd🤔 Do you honestly believe that Trump would’ve conceded? LOL! 😆🤣😂🙃😆

    3. @Jerry A. Rodriguez then play the whole tape, don’t cherry pick and spin things, whatever the out come, there’s no due process. No charges will be filed. It’s a show trial.

    4. @dave gilbert No matter what, it’s a trial just like a grand jury. It’s seeking the evidence to further more evidence seeking, and maybe it develops to a full criminal trial for all lawbreakers…

      Sounds like a due process to me…
