Will he take the 5th?

1. Will he even show up?

[rsdsharp]

4. Eastman showed up. He pled the Fifth, but he sat for a deposition.

Bar disciplinary committees tend to take a dim view of attorneys blowing off subpoenas.

2. first he'll sue to quash the subpoena

then he'll honor the subpoena and sit-down with the J6 committee for a behind closed doors deposition and he will claim executive privilege over and over...

3. From what we've heard so far,

Cipollone appears to have been one of the people going around yelling at TrumpCo to stop what they were doing or they’d all be going to jail. I’m not sure he needs to take the 5th… we’ll see what he opts to do next though.

5. John Dean was WH counsel--

And the president then was Nixon who would have claimed exec privilege if he could have.
I don't know how Dean was allowed to choose to testify.

Biden won't do that for Cipollone, we know.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. I'm betting he will show up and he will give testimony

[2naSalit]

7. Some will only show up if subpoenaed.

Maybe he'll spill his gutz.

[agingdem]

14. Maybe..

he was assistant to Bill Barr when Barr was attorney general under Bush I..more than likely he'll claim executive privilege a few hundred times

8. Of topic, but Cipollone related

Closed captioning does not do well with his name

The Jan 6 hearings were once again amazing, stunning and magnificent. In a related story, because it is my responsibility and my job, I have recorded the valiant attempts made by the closed-captioning software to spell Pat Cippolone.

9. A huge get if he testifies

Hope he does.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Could be he was just waiting for a subpoena

Lawyers don’t like to look too eager to rat on their clients.

11. Rudy G already took the fifth. He is pretty hammered at this point. Hic.

13. Does anyone know why they waited so long???? nt
