Oh boy, but not a surprise - the Mango Mussolini stiffs his lawyer and she turns state's evidence - who'da thunk it..... If the Rudy takes a dive, it's game over for the Former Guy.....who'd testify for him - he doesn't even have a dog.....

Not to think too strategic, even though I hope to see the orange one in orange, if he goes down and the party needs to remain all right and right for the faithful, what does the presidential campaign look like come March 2024? Tffg out could give rise to circling the wagons tightly around his myrtdom? I'm not sure we are the lesser enemy or their ideological purity.

As my son says this am - its dominoes now, Mom!

Not sure about Rudy.

Ego and alcoholism could get in the way.

Hoping you are not wrong on this one though.

Ego and alcoholism might also impair his ability to testify. In another lawsuit filed against him, the young woman describes him as being almost constantly inebriated.

I quit drinking a long time ago. The thought of Rudy’s brain makes me want to pick up a white chip.

Remember too that ALL testimony in Jawja is also applicable to the election interference/coup case in DC under Jack Smith, and serves as a hedge against later bouts of 'forgetfulness'..... I don't see any way out for the "King of the Hill" - I wonder if the orange jumpsuit will go with his orange bronzer.....

The way this saga is going, perhaps a certain person (or two) should avoid standing around in the middle of Fifth Avenue, in case they get shot by a lost voter.

Rudy was front and center in this corruption. He will have to sing an entire opera to avoid jail time. That would put pressure on more nearly sober participants, especially any named Mark, to join the chorus.

The problem with Rudy is that no one would believe even truthful testimony.

I'm sort of sad though that they won't be pulling in a stringer of these medium large fish. They're still big enough to be satisfying... significantly larger than pan fry!

Obviously what Jenna Ellis means to imply is she didn't know her lies were lies no matter how obvious, but what she really means is if she knew then that they wouldn't get away with it, she would have turned down the job.

All told, it has to be pretty humiliating because she's already said out loud how stupid she thinks Trump is (and clearly assumes everyone else is) and now she has to pretend she is that stupid too. She seems like the kind of person who takes pride in being smart, but the lies she has to pretend she believed when she promoted them would not have taken in a smart lawyer.

Picking them off, one by one. 👍 Jack Smith's smiling and

andsaying thank you, Fanni.

I think Meadows is waiting to

see how Trump's immunity

rebuttal to Jack Smith goes,

as that's part of Meadows

defense too. Rudi? Never trust an alcoholic. Especially

one whose brain is pretty much pickled 90 proof.

Whilst we are celebrating as the plot(ters) thicken, here's a great Roy Zimmerman tune to sing and dance to. T-R-E-A-S-O-N

Rudy G has indeed been publicly whingeing about his financial straits (couldn't happen to a nicer guy -- well, maybe ONE nicer guy), so I deeply hope you're out on the right limb, TC.

So Meadows has been testifying to Jack Smith's Grand Jury in DC since this

past summer and now has

some type of "immunity"

from JS. Wouldn't discuss the

immunity, but this was Lardos

Chief of Staff and on the inside of everything going on

in the WH.

Remember, he quit cooperating with J6. Maybe

he got castled by JS.

I really hope they fumigated that auspicious piece of property before the Biden's and staff moved in. Especially for their dogs sake.😉

I wonder ifJenna Ellis and Sidney Powell have wiped those mug shot smirks off their faces…

Also wonder if they have/ can afford any type of security with their “ financial pressures(s)” At least prosecutors already have the lengthy video…

Do you think that they'll allow rudy colludy to appeal? If they do, then only the Boss remains.

You know, the storyline just gets better and better. It's building toward the climax. I hope it's not a fizzle! The orange cheeto is getting more and more crazy but so are his acolytes who troop to his stupid events, like the one just in NH. Where is the shot against this criminal virus? On another note: looks like Emmer of MN will try to get the 217 votes tonight beginning at 8pm. Apparently the former guy had a conversation with him and then reported that Emmer really liked him very much. What a crock of hooey. Gaetz preened before the cameras complaining about the establishment. Good grief. If only there were a chance these right wingers would be defeated in 2024. Gerrymandered districts unfortunately will keep too many of them in their seats.

They need to go way before 11-2024, otherwise we will be the Planet of the Magats

Here in Michigan we will remember Jenna Ellis for the expression on her face during an incident involving Rudy when he came here with his allegations of voter fraud and brought along a star witness. (Honestly, some of these folks have had to be paid actors.) It's included in a Fallon monologue. If you skip to minute 3 you'll see it, but the whole monologue is okay too. The local news had a riotous time with Rudy's "malfunction" and showed it over and over again. Ellis should have bailed out on the project if for no other reason than this and the performance of Rudy's star witness.
