Well the January 6th House Committee had asked for Donald Trump's testimony tomorrow on November 14th on the matter. Either by (most likely) video deposition at Mar-a-Lago or by coming to the House. Imagine what that would have done? Media coverage would have been extreme. Traffic in Washington, D.C. would have been horrible. Instead, Donald Trump decided to sue the Committee in the D.C. Circuit Court. This is what Trump's legal team is doing. They plan on delaying his compelling testimony until the House switches leadership in January. This way, the Committee gets dissolved without him giving any damning testimony. They (his legal team) feel that no current sitting President or ex-President has never been asked to give testimony to Congress. So they are using precedents now? Just to counter that argument, never has a President ever incited a riot or provoked an
Insurrection on the Capitol in the transfer of power to the incoming administration. Remember there was never a peaceful transition. Donald Trump never conceded the Presidential election to Joe Biden.
Anyway, that testimony could be used against Donald Trump should Attorney General Merrick Garland chose to use it in future investigations and prosecute the ex-President for it. The D.C. District Court is run by Chief Judge Beryl A.Howell. She has ruled against Donald Trump in so many cases coming across her docket. Should the Trump legal team lose there in the Washington D.C. Circuit, they would make an Emergency Appeal to the United States Supreme Court. I hope that Chief Justice John Roberts who overseas the D.C. Circuit Court rules against him and his legal team and the D.C Circuit then compels him to testify to the House Committee before House Republican leadership dissolves its power in January 2023.
My feeling is that Chief Justice Roberts will refuse to hear arguments that the Trump legal team brings. The Supreme Court has refused to hear any of his appeals thus far.
Like the United States Senate runoff in Georgia between Reverend Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. This upcoming case in the D.C. Circuit will keep the
Washington Post, The Hill and
Politico'
s subscriptions going. So the next three months will be compelling news to read.
As a side note, I like what attorney Ben Meiselas from the MeidasTouch calls MAGA ... "Makes Attorneys Get Attorneys" ...
Seems that lead attorney Alina Habba, and others: Michael Maidao, Peter Ticktin and Jamie Alan Sasson should be sanctioned in the frivolous lawsuit that Federal District Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed in a scathing order. Donald Trump and his attorneys filed the lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. With sanctions, come possible state bar suspensions and license revocations for Trump's legal team. Another appeal to the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta will be coming. You know it will.
