Seems like a lot of people taking the 5th. Is that standard practice in the States?

I'm not as fluent in these things as others are here.
It is common when they've committed crimes. The only non-crime related 5th plea that I saw was from the IRS director that was being politically attacked by the criminals that are today violating IRS laws. The criminals put the "good guys" on their heels and continue to break the law. That WAS a case of pre-caution over subjective matters.

I guess sometime Tuesday afternoon we'll get to hear the latest conspiracy theory or has it started already? Hearing is next Tue. 10 AM ET. I think. Cipollone is a deep state, never-Trumper, RINO in a low level position that begged for a job with TFG but was denied because he was corrupt and incompetent and a Barr conspiracist? That's my guess anyway.

Pat Cipollone finally agrees to testify to J6 committee about about the crimes of Donald Trump
14,689 views Jul 7, 2022 Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone has been concealing what he knows about the conduct, misconduct and crimes of Donald Trump for more than 18 months now. However, after the testimony of 25-year-old White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed that Cipollone has important evidence to provide about Trump's involvement in the January 6 insurrection, Cipollone at long last has decided to testify and reveal what he knows.

Will this finally be enough to tip the scales of accountability?

It is a shame when Congress and the State Atty's are leading the DOJ. The DOJ has thousands of investigators and prosecutors, but is incapable of pressing an indictment after 18 fucking months, despite Trump's televised crime and the False Electors conspiracy out in plain sight!
The flacid Administration and the limp dick AG are a disgrace!

Another day, another Trump crime exposed. The IRS director must go now after the intensive audits of McCabe & Comey are revealed. Odds of both being audited this way, 1 in 82,000,000.
After an inspector general's report, Joe should fire the fucker, why he kept him on is beyond me. This needs to be put under the microscope by congress too and heads should roll, perhaps even prosecutions. Perhaps the FBI should look into it as well, since it was an abuse of office and an illegal attack on the agency and it's directors by a criminal president and his minions. Trump ordered it and he ordered someone, who ordered someone else to do the actual work. This is an abuse of office that can't be tolerated, these were the top law enforcement officials in the country, directors of the FBI.

The attack on the IRS over the 501(c)'s was more abuse by the GOP. It gave cover for more crimes and abuse by conservatives. 90% of those orgs are from conservatives and they quite routinely violate the laws to escape taxation. The IRS is tasked with enforcing that but can't.

You will know how much he has to say by how much time the testimony takes because they have a lot of questions to ask him. He has no real executive privilege's, he worked for the White House, he wasn't Trump's attorney, nothing to do with 1/6 is privilaged and nothing he heard from others in the WH is privilaged.

NEW: Roger Stone and Stop the Steal leaders were followed by a second documentary film crew before the Capitol attack — that also recorded key moments in timeline, including ‘rehearsal’ rallies and the days leading up to Jan. 6.

That means there were 7 documentary teams embedded with the various groups of assholes I believe. A sure sign yer dealing with narcists and idiots is they record their own crimes, just like the morons at the capitol. I guess they wanted to be recorded for posterity when they won, this evidence of their loyalty to the great leader could be used to gain high government posts in national and homeland security. Just like those Nazi's who joined Hitler in his beerhall putsch, they would be accorded special statues in the party.

Fuck that radicalized nut bag, let him video tape it in a private hearing and then maybe do it live.
all he's going to say is that they were instructed by members of the US gov't to serve as coup support. they're all trying to get out of sedition charges.

If they ever did allow him to publicly testify, they would already have his video taped testimony racked up and ready to play for the TV networks, if he should try anything. He knows Trump fucked him and wants revenge now, Steward is a psycho too.

“Investigators determined that Michael Flynn received nearly $450,000 from Turkish and Russian interests in 2015, including for an appearance in Moscow alongside President Vladimir Putin, but found no records that he had sought government approval beforehand.”
