GOP's Doug Mastriano abruptly ends Jan. 6 interview after refusing to answer 'a single question'

The idiot was in the interview for a whole 15 minutes



https://www.rawstory.com/doug-mastriano-jan-6-2657835433/

Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano reportedly ended his interview with the January 6 committee after just 15 minutes.

The Pennsylvania state senator wanted to record the deposition about his actions on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol or wait until after the November election, but the House select committee declined his offer.

A source told CNN that Mastriano "didn't answer a single question" during his virtual appearance before the committee.

His attorney Tim Parlatore sent a letter last week saying the GOP gubernatorial candidate, who frequently streams his public appearances on Facebook, would not testify unless it could be recorded.

To prove he's Trumpy enough for all the hard core MAGA folks.

Mission accomplished.

We'll see how the sane half of the PA electorate reacts to this.

it sounds like he simply refused to cooperate.

If that's the case, the committee could, and should, proceed with a contempt citation.
