Just a hunch...

But I would think that TrumpWorld is walking on eggshells tonight. They do not know what to expect from the testimony tomorrow. Trump has been very careful not to criticize Cipollone, but has gone out of the way to be nice and to let him know that he is "one" of the White House lawyers and has attorney/client privilege if he wishes to use it. As if he doesn't know that the WH Counsel is not Donald Trump's personal attorney? That he is the Counsel to advise the President about what is legal and what is not? He is the Counsel for the Presidency.

Cipollone is a treasure load of information if he wishes to unload it.

There was a reason he was telling Cassidy Hutchinson that if they permitted Trump to go to the Capitol, the list of crimes would be "unimaginable". He let Mark Meadows know that he should not go to the Willard Hotel for similar reasons. He was giving legal advice thru the aides, such as Cassidy Hutchinson.

He was there for Barr's resignation. He was there on January 6th. He knows almost everything.

So, TrumpWorld has a reason for anxiety, in my opinion.

He really has every reason to be straight up truthful, lying or refusing to answer will not do anything but harm to him. I wonder when the transcript will be available... I've not seen when yet.

…having trouble with Mr. Cipollone’s name, I always think of my favorite one from the list - Patsy Boloney.

Let’s hope Patsy Boloney is not willing to be a patsy for Trump.

I think that the thought of next week's J6 Committee hearings -- and apparently the second one is prime-time -- has a number of them rather anxious. I agree that they have good reason to be worried.

but I think people are not believing that Hutchinson is a bad person, so in some ways, that has weakened. There are also the threats to individuals and their families. My concern is the type that doesn't leave threats, but thinks they must save Trump.
