(35,454 posts)Disgraced former New York City police commissioner and Trump confidante Bernard Kerik has turned over a tranche of documents to the House select committee investigating the events surrounding the events of Jan. 6, Politico reported. One set of documents Kerik provided reportedly includes emails between Kerik and others in which they discussed paying for rooms at the Willard Hotel so Trump allies could meet to brainstorm ways to block Joe Bidens electoral win from being certified. Another, titled, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLANGIULIANI PRESIDENTIAL LEGAL DEFENSE TEAM, reportedly lays out a strategy to convince congressional Republicans not to formalize Bidens victory. In addition to the documents requested by the committee, Kerik also reportedly provided a so-called privilege log that listed the materials he refuses to share. One of them is titled DRAFT LETTER FROM POTUS TO SEIZE EVIDENCE IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS.

The committee subpoenaed Kerik on Nov. 8, seeking information about his work with Giuliani, as well as his involvement in the so-called war room at the Willard Hotel, where Trump allies met to strategize about preventing Congress from certifying Joe Bidens victory. The letter that accompanied the subpoena incorrectly suggested Kerik was present in the war room on Jan. 5, leading to an apology demand from Kerik.

(16,846 posts)He has more, but he claims that they're being hidden because of Trump's claim of executive privilege. He says he's waiting for Trump to give him permission to release them. Yeah, right.

Haggard Celine
(16,846 posts)and his cronies did to try to thwart the election process, but really all they can do is lay out the evidence and let the press and the DOJ do their jobs. The committee has a lot of information from various people who have come to them voluntarily.
The DOJ has a small window in which they can get Trump and the others indicted and prosecute them. They need to start to work on that Monday. If they wait too late, it'll be called a political witch hunt. They'll probably call it that anyway, but if they get it done in the first couple months of the year, it will look a lot less like political maneuvering.
But I'm skeptical about it all, too. Right now I don't have a lot of faith in the Justice Department. I hope they prove me wrong, but history tells me that these fuckers will wiggle out of it somehow. They always have.

(32,641 posts)Why does Bernie Kerik or anyone else need "Chump's permission" for anything?
Of course Chump will never give permission. Are you kidding me? I'm not directing anger at you, my friend Haggard Celine. I'm sure you share the same frustration that we all have.
The good news is that the walls are cracking, chip by chip. Someone will finally get smart and figure out that Chump can't save anybody, not even himself.
We need to build more prisons for these a-holes.

(16,846 posts)Its like Kerik is honoring Trump as some sort of President in Exile. I think thats how Trump himself wants to be seen. Kerik is supposedly honoring Trumps executive privilege, which no longer exists. Its maddening! I hope the courts tell Kerik to give up all he has immediately. But that will likely drag out for weeks. Theyre doing their best to run out the clock, and so far its working.

(3,580 posts)I am still confused about how much Kerik is actually cooperating.
He tweeted this morning that what he had to say would "eviscerate" the Democratic narrative (don't know if I'm allowed to post his deranged RW tweet).
