1. YEAAAAA!!

In a MAJOR loss for Trump, his ex-acting Attorney General, Jeff Rosen, agrees to testify to the January 6 Committee about his “detailed, first hand knowledge” of Trump’s attempt to use the Justice Department to steal Biden’s win.


Trump can't plug all the holes in the dam. One big leak & it's over.

2. He is legally bound to testify. We shouldn't act like he is doing the world a favor.

8. Considering all of the obstruction by targets of the investigation

I'll take it.


I know, low bar.

3. Formidable!

Hallelujah!!!

4. Rosen, former acting AG under Trump, scheduled to appear before Jan. 6 committee

This will piss off TFG and will be fun to watched

The acting attorney general during the final days of the Trump administration is scheduled to field questions from the Jan. 6 select committee on Wednesday, according to two sources familiar with the timing.

Jeff Rosen, who helmed the Justice Department during former President Donald Trump's chaotic last weeks in office, is the second known former top DOJ official to have a scheduled interview with the panel. His deputy took questions from House investigators last week.

Rosen has detailed, firsthand knowledge of Trump’s attempt to dragoon DOJ into his effort to overturn the 2020 election. But it’s unclear how much new information the panel will be able to get from him: Rosen has testified publicly about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and took questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee for its separate probe into Trump’s efforts to influence DOJ.

That Senate committee released a report on its investigation last week. A spokesperson for the Jan. 6 panel declined to comment on the slated appearance.

5. Good he's going to show up...I'll reserve celebration to hear if he's going to talk. n/t

6. Prediction: If you take a drink every time he says "I can't recall" or "I don't remember" you'll

die from alcohol poisoning.

7. I suspect that you are wrong

Rosen stopped Jeff Clark and TFG from sending the letter to Georgia and has already testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The account of Rosen was included in Senate Judiciary Committee interim report

9. Not a big win. He was never a Trumpster.

and he's not a politico so he doesn't need an endorsement. I suspect he'll be okay.


Bannon, on the other hand. . .

[mcar]

13. Bannon will plead the 5th

or take us on a wonderful journey of forgetfulness.

Rosen, on the other hand, had a front row seat to treason.

[marble falls]

14. Bannon pleading the fifth is good enough for me. It's not that I want to hear him lie ...

... and it's not that I would not enjoy him getting kicked in the ass by the committee getting caught in the lies, but citing the fifth indicates he understands the rope is tightening.

[Hamlette]

18. and, in a civil proceeding, which this is, if he takes the 5th, the worst can be implied

civil courts can imply that the 5th means, "I did it"

[marble falls]

19. I didn't want to say that. I just want to have him say it on film, like gangsters and mobsters ...

... before Congress before him.

[malaise]

10. Great news

[ancianita]

11. Good. He'll corroborate all kinds of evidence Jan 6 has.

[SayItLoud]

12. How many times do you think he will take the 5th?

1. Not once.

2. 5-20

3. 21-50

4. Every damn question after " Is your name Jeff Rosen" ?

[marble falls]

17. Rosen stood up to Trump several important times refusing to fire people ...

... I don't think he was a believer, but he's no liberal, either. I think he liked his work and was hoping to be AG at some point.

I believe Rosen will be forthright and responsive. I have been wrong before.

[Botany]

15. TFG is fucked if Rosen speaks the truth.

[GoodRaisin]

16. Should be interesting.

Can’t wait to hear that.

[Cha]

21. Rt TY!!

[Bobstandard]

22. Remember tfg on taking the fifth?

“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment?”

And my favorite:
“The mob takes the fifth.”

23. Capitol riot committee grilled Trump's former acting AG for eight hours: report

24. Why are they calling it a "riot"?

I thought it was an "insurrection". The "riot" had a purpose - to overthrow the election.
