Related: About this forumJ6 committee subpoenas Trump, and he responds with a letter that is . . . sharply self-incriminating
No one will ever accuse Donald Trump of being a tactical or strategic genius. After being subpoenaed by the January 6 House select committee investigating the insurrection, Trump decides to launch a letter into the public square that is sharply self-incriminating.
This video discusses how and why prosecutors will use this letter as evidence against Trump when he's prosecuted for his crimes. This video also discusses the reasons Trump likely will never testify to the January 6 committee. - Glenn Kirschner - 10/14/2022.

OP
Every pundit queried keeps saying that he won't testify. So he's now between a rock and a hard place

Tell him his testimony would get record Nielsen ratings, and he'd be there in a minute.

to a Contempt of Congress indictment. Unless Trump is able to nullify a subpoena. He cant. He CAN testify and plead the Fifth, which would make great television.

He's run out of good choices, all due to his actions, and there's not a lot his current lawyers can do, even if he listened. But we do know that he craves attention, so you're right - that would sure make great TV!

It will be seen live around the globe.
It will be the largest. Because prisons have TVs.
