So the FBI does a phone interview of the Vice Chair of the Hillsdale Mi. Republican party.

Said Vice chair was confronted with fact that on tape he said he had a gun at the insurrection. He was defiant instead of helpful. Asked the agent what kind of gun was it. He was a smartass to agent who told him you have confessed to a federal crime. He then repeatedly challenged the agent to prove it. Agent ended the call. I'm sure there is more. I hear other officers of the party are being more cooperative.

In addition to the county being a hotbed of MAGAts, Hillsdale College is an embarrassment to higher education and the state of Michigan.

they want to see who is gonna be cooperative from just getting a call. But they do have a large group to choose from here.

by saying this could have gone better. I'm guessing that is code for lawyer up.
