Sorry if this is a dupe. From the NYT: "Mrs. Thomas has expressed a willingness to try to come before the committee as a means of clearing her name. But, based on my understanding of the facts the committee has in its possession, I do not believe there is currently a sufficient basis to speak with Mrs. Thomas," said Mark Paoletta. (her rep, just to clarify--he even wrote a book about "Ginni" and her husband)

(5,499 posts)But I'm not sure I want to give her a free forum to spew her bullshit. She wants the attention that would come with being served subpoena.

(22,037 posts)Its jig not gig.
Its from the Elizabethan era the phrase also became slang for a practical joke or a trick.
It refers to a particular dance.

It wasnt a miscalculation; he simply omitted his wifes source of income for six years, which is a rather dramatic omission, Gillers said. It could not have been an oversight.

He should have had to resign way back then.
This is sickening.
I do not understand why we have to tolerate this. Oversight for the SC has to take place.

(8,924 posts)She lied. What a surprise that the wife of a sitting SCOTUS judge doesnt want to testify. And, she doesnt give a damn about clearing her name.

(25,981 posts)knowing full well that she was lying. The later retraction won't matter to the people she wanted to reach - they have her first smug statement settled in their minds and have moved on. She doesn't care what the rest of us think.

(51,574 posts)She claimed she looked forward to setting the record straight. And she may have been crazy enough, and enough of an attention hound, that she may have actually intended to do it.
But I think when her attorneys sat down to prepare her for her testimony, they realized what she would say, and it became plain that there is no way this loon should testify. She would no doubt implicate herself, her husband, and Trump.

Too bad.. ol Clarence and the gang of 6 could see her in Action on the World Stage.

I thought she just wanted to "clear her name" Which is an impossible task without Lying some more.
