Re: Surprise Jan 6 hearing tomorrow

Today is the day the dominoes start falling: Cipollone testified for over 8 hours. It doesn't take 8 hours to say "I plead the fifth." Executive privilege is owed to Biden, not Trump, and Biden and the courts have already said no privilege for Trumpers. Lawyer-client confidentiality does not apply to criminality, and Cipllone already said that Jan 6th stuff was all highly criminal. So he's covering his ass, and verifying all the bad stuff other Trump people have said took place. The "it's all heresay" defense is now worthless crap.
Steve Bannon is trying to make a deal to testify, since his contempt trial is mid-July. That won't make the contempt charges go away, but if he sings a good song it might affect his sentence. (Up to a year in jail.)
The head of the Oath Keepers, Elmer Rhodes wants a deal for testimony. Other militia leaders have seditious conspiracy indictments. (20 years in prison?)
I think Cassidy Hutchinson was the breaking point. Now they can't testify fast enough to CYA. Once somebody actually in the room where Trump planned it all, etc. testified, the "everybody just plead the Fifth" strategy fell apart. It's every man (or woman) for himself, and the early witnesses get the best immunity deals.
Same thing at the Justice Department: Barr already tried for a CYA by testifying "It was all BS" and resigning near the end.
