Permanent violence: Leon Trumpsky gets nervous over the White House Counsel appearing before the Select Committee. Joe Walsh: "If Cipollone is under oath, I think his testimony will make the case against Trump."
What seemed unthinkable about GOP behavior is normalized in its rule of lawfare ahead unless we GOTV in 2022. As Charles Fried says, SCOTUS is trying to repeal the 20th Century and the coup d'état continues in “slow-motion”.
It’s no secret that Pat Cipollone is considered one of the key pieces to the gigantic picture puzzle which is the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. His testimony is expected to illuminate many dark corners. In fact, Cipollone’s testimony is considered, importance wise, to be second only to that of Mark Meadows, who last we knew was missing in action, with his face appearing on milk cartons on social media. His silence in the face of Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony has spoken volumes.
News broke this morning that Pat Cipollone would sit for a private interview on Friday, July 8, with the next January 6 Committee hearing to be televised the morning of July 12 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Therefore, it’s not going to be much of a wait between Cipollone’s testimony and the revelation to the world of what that testimony was.
One person who’s getting very uptight about it is Donald Trump. Here is what he launched out into the ethernet (above tweet).

The case, Moore v. Harper, concerns whether the North Carolina state legislature is precluded from executing an extreme partisan gerrymander by state courts’ interpretation of the state constitution. If the Supreme Court rules in the legislature’s favor, the court could endorse some version of the theory, which holds that state legislatures have near-plenary control over election rules.
Although there are reasons to be skeptical that Donald Trump will run for president in 2024, one thing could push him into it: Mounting legal troubles. With his potential crimes related to the insurrection becoming clearer, he is reportedly growing more serious about running, reasoning that as a candidate, he’ll be harder to prosecute.
As it happens, this is unfolding even as the Supreme Court has
announced plans to hear a case next term that could upend democracy. The court will likely validate in some form the
“independent state legislature” theory, which could expand the power of state legislatures over elections in radically anti-democratic ways.
That has generated much discussion of how the theory could enable hyperpartisan gerrymandering. But it could also enable more election subversion, which could dovetail with the looming Trump threat in combustible ways.
