Cipollone isn't a hero & Pence isn't a hero. If they were we would know all the details, & would have known them during the 2nd impeachment, about the 12/21 meeting where sitting members of Congress who are currently running for re-election, got together to subvert the election.

Trump’s untethered relationship with the law is evidenced by the fact that two key witnesses to his crimes are his WH counsel McGahn and Cippolone.

Trump called Michael Cohen almost immediately after his apartment, office and hotel room were searched by the FBI, for context https://t.co/1eMqK327xb

Almost to a person, every official adviser working for Trump told him his claims were baseless. But one important thing to remember - what people say they effectively told Trump, and what they actually told Trump, are not always the same.

And still catching up:Somehow the committee testimony featured live * underplayed * how crazy that Dec 18 meeting was. People were in tears of frustration afterward because of all the shouting.

That lawyer was Cippolone, in his testimony.A Trump lawyer says Mike Pence should get the "medal of freedom" for not trying to stage an illegal coup on January 6th.

Not all you might think it is:"WE LEFT WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP PUT THAT TWEET OUT" (emphasis mine).

And of course this is the obvious legal point. The insurrectionists STOPPED when Trump TOLD THEM TO STOP. And everybody knew, including Republicans in the Capitol, that Trump could call it off.
I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer but I’m just really surprised at speculations about what Trump can be prosecuted for based on evidence presented in a congressional hearing (which DOJ may not even have, even if it were enough to meet the legal standard) 🤷🏽♀️

The question is: would the rest of us let them?I work on this stuff, on coups & fascists & mass murderers. I advised the J6 committee on political violence. Yet seeing this appetite for violence is scary precisely because the GOP is unrepentant and many participants would do it again tomorrow. #Jan6thCommitteeHearings
