    If they don't tell it under oath it's meaningless.

    Not to change the topic, but what in the WORLD would that entail, in your mind....

    Even if he managed to appear human for a few weeks, nobody would buy it as legitimate.... I'll give him this.... he doesn't put on pretend airs... He's a dirtbag and he knows it, so he works with that....

    First impressions ARE lasting, but 10,000 impressions are permanent....

    But everything else was the truth right??? Seems like an unimportant detail to fixate on when there is so much else that end up putting a few in cuffs.

    I ask myself this about so many Trump supporters and the only thing I can come up with is fear of introspection.

    What do you mean leading Democrats to tell under oath that they didn't give a damn that she whipped up a mob to harass elected Republican officials in public?

    Just sad. I'm not here to do your homework. And if you haven't already learned about their testimonies through the news or this site, I guess you really aren't interested.

    I'm thinking its similar to Ginny Thomas. She said she was looking forward to testifying...but now she's back peddling.

    Of course and the media carried her water with the B/S story of her wanting to cooperate.

    The SS has to honor subpoenas (but I would bat good money that the agency would fight the subpoena). I said they "don't talk to the press or make statements to them"

    Well they just did so, so much for not talking to the press.
    And this fake committee will NEVER subpoena ANY of the agents or allow them to testify.

    Seems you have nothing of value here at all.
    If you can't back up your post, don't make them.
    Pretty simple.

    Fair enough. I guess I was wrong to assume that if you were participating in conversations about the hearings you would have educated yourself on their content.

    I was trying to give him the benefit of doubt.
    I'm not sure what he would have to do to change my mind, but I'm not completely closed off from it. I thought he could after he was elected in 2016, but, nah!
    My impression of Trump continued on the downhill trend, aside from some upward blips.
    I disagree with the pretend airs statement. I do not think he even knows who he is, really. He has serious personality trait disorders.

    Yep, there is a difference: So far, all witnesses in the 1/6 hearings have testified before Congress under oath. Trump and his cronies, on the other hand, spout meaningless character attacks and lies from the safety of their "Truth Social" accounts, where nobody cares if they lie. Of course, we all know that Trump will NEVER testify before Congress because he knows that he would commit perjury the minute he opened his mouth. At least Bill Clinton, as much as I abhor what he has done to the Dems with the Lewinsky scandal, was man enough to face the heat and testify to Congress. Trump, on the other hand, is a coward who just uses his cronies and RW media to throw mud on the wall to protect him.

    I'm not unhappy with that fact. Because of their reporting, we knew about her compliance. Without it, we wouldn't have known about this new back peddling.

    The media drama cycle, it's dumbing down America, at most it lasts a week then there is something else to dramatize.

    Your ABC news affiliate claimed it was agent Engle. So you will have to decide if ABC is lying or not.

    I did. There’s no quote from any secret service agents.

    Well, I guess we can discard all the rest of her evidence?

    So you expect every time you make a claim, that everyone should be up to speed on your claim and you have no responsibility to prove anything you post. And if asked to provide information to support your claim, Its my responsibility to look it up myself.
    Sounds about right for you

    So he can be abused and they try to General Flynn him? I don't think so.

    You'd be surprised how many people disagree with you in cases like Patrick Lyoya
