Cipollone must be forced by CJ Roberts to correct the record and apologize or face disbarment for brazen lack of candor to the tribunal in a legal proceeding. I was in nearly every deposition and the GOP Members were always present.

Replying to @atrupar
"Not even Mr. Schiff's Republican colleagues were allowed into the SCIF" -- this is a blatant lie from Cipollone

1. Maybe he will

After the aquittal 😂

[gratuitous]

2. Bwahahahahaha!

Sorry, but Roberts is going to take the minimalist approach to the verb "preside" that the Constitution has bestowed on him. He'll gavel the session open, gavel it closed, and spend every second in between as animated as Andrew McCarthy's girlfriend in Mannequin.

[Iliyah]

3. Roberts ain't gonna do jack shit . . .

And if he does, that would surprise me.

[Bettie]

4. Nope, he's just going to sit there

and let them do what they want to.

Then, he gets to go back to destroying our country from another angle.

19. I know. He seems a little too jovial for the occasion.

[riversedge]

5. umm. I am not waiting for Cipollone to be honest.

[Wednesdays]

6. Do you really think there will be consequences for ANY of them?

Always, always remember: IOKIYAR!

[malaise]

7. Didn't you hear the Chief Justice castigating both sides about decorum?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212896162
Lying to Congress, House Managers and the Chief Justice is now a mere matter of decorum.

[pangaia]

14. Boy did I catch that !!!!!! That damn both side do it shit...

Fuck him!! What a disgrace to the office, and to that robe,..,

Maybe it should be white!!!!

8. This is all Kabookie Theatre to be edited for

max effect for the Deplorables that worship at the altar of Faux News.

[nini]

9. Roberts is as bad as the rest of them though he'll want to keep up appearances

The others flat out don't give shit to hide their corruption anymore.

10. Yah, who could forget the babblings, antics and comedy act

of Ragin' Gaetz, Cotton Mouth Collins, Jackless Jordan, and Goofy Gohmert

[aggiesal]

12. I believe it's Jacket-off Jordan, for a reason! ...

I didn't come up with that name, another DU member has that honor.

11. If McConnell can snuff the Garland nomination, and stonewall evidence

why can't we hold an emergency election day next month? Nothing that's not prohibited in the Constitution can still be done, right?

[Pepsidog]

13. Expect no Profiles in Courage from Rs and that includes Roberts. Roberts could actually take

judicial notice of the fact that Rs were participants in the proceedings before impeachment. Allowing Trumps lawyers to lie like this violates a lawyers duty to uphold the truth. How Roberts can sit there and watch these lies is a testament of what a wimp he is. Dems should put Roberts on the spot and ask him, at the very least, as an officer of the court to admonish the Rs for outright lies. I cannot stomach watching so I don’t know if Dems have done this but why not? Put Roberts on the spot and expose him for the Republican shill that he is.

16. I wish they would !!!

That guy is a right wing hack if ever there was one...

[Marcuse]

15. It just took Ari a whole interview to get Rep. Mike Johnson to admit that Gops were in the SCIF.

[maxsolomon]

17. See, what Cippilone MEANT was

the GOP members who weren't on the committee conducting the proceeding weren't allowed into the SCIF.

But they went in anyway, didn't they?

[Grasswire2]

18. Attorneys at an event with such importance should be sworn.

Yes, their license should be enough to keep them honest in front of the Chief Justice. But being sworn in public view would be meaningful to many.
