Interesting witnesses for the Special Committee?

Jeff Sessions, Trump's first Attorney General, and later failed candidate for Senate from Alabama. He was so abused that Trump almost made him cry and he threatened to quit. He might clarify some of the Russian connections?

William Barr, Trump's last fully-appointed Attorney General, and full-time suck-up and sycophant, might explain his theory on "justice" as it relates to the Executive Branch of government? Why did he leave so suddenly, just when the nation needed him?

Mike Pence, the Vice-President, who refused to go along with invalidating the Electoral College certification in the Senate, and who barely escaped the hangman's noose, or at least, the threat of being hanged. What is his opinion of Mr Trump now? As the Sergeant asked Arlo Guthrie in Alice's Restaurant, "Kid, have you re-habilitated yourself?"

Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader, who is being threatened by his own caucus to lead or step aside. The same McCarthy that got into a shouting match with Donald Trump as the anarchists were threatening the Congress and its members on January 6th. What else does he know? What did he discuss with Trump at Mar-a-Lago?

There are many possible witnesses and I hope the Select Committee does not finish until they have questioned them all.

I’d love to see TFG as a witness, but what I think would be more fun is to put him in a special room. In this room only TFG and his family are allowed and there are CCTV hooked up with audio of course. The room also has a television screen on all walls surrounding them with the witnesses testimony. No adjustments can be made to the TVs meaning sound cannot be cutoff or even lowered plus you can’t turn them off.

Then watch them all blow their gaskets. Let’s see TFG get as red faced as Russian beet borscht, BP getting so high he literally starts bleeding from his eyes. Hearing people give him up as he sits in the room being able to do nothing.

Once you find out who paid for the busses, the signs, the permits, all of the costs associated, then you bring them in and find out what contact they had with who in the whitehouse.

On track 2 you find out who and why the national guard was blocked. They were 10 minutes away yet only came after the fighting was done. Police officers were left out without assistance and they always thought they could rely on it.

On the money side, Leadership Pacs, the Republican Attorney general association the dark money that has funded this shit show all along and led to the deaths of people and the storming of the capitol

On the national guard side, Charles Flynn, the secretary of the army and anyone else that was in on it.

Would that make his claim of immunity less credible. Of course, he has not yet claimed "immunity", but I seriously doubt he will do anything voluntarily unless he is threatened by some sort of penalty?
