"I mean, this is a man who took the Fifth Amendment more than 400 times the last time he was questioned under oath. And I doubt he's suddenly become eager to testify," Katyal said.

He's an authoritarian and populist with the ambition to become a dictator like his friends Putin and Kim. That doesn't make him crazy, that makes him dangerous.
He'd use his testimony as a megaphone to say he's being persecuted to his cult. I hope it's not live.

Real easy to throw in with the witch hunt.
shareRead the letter and please get back to us with your thoughts
shareTrumpets have no thoughts!
shareNo thanks. You assholes have lied to the point that you have zero credibility whatsoever. It's a witch hunt, by definition it produces nothing of merit.
shareBut it’s the letter Trump wrote!
shareFACTS:
.about January 6th:
Over the last several months, the hearings have demonstrated a few things:
President Trump knew that he lost the 2020 election.
There was no evidence of fraud, despite multiple investigations and 62 legal challenges.
Trump planned, as early as July 2020, to proclaim victory, regardless of the results.
He followed through with this plan, declared victory on election night, and spent the next several weeks convincing his supporters of the Big Lie.
Trump personally led the efforts to pressure state and federal officials to overturn election results in states, including Georgia and Arizona.
Trump personally pressured the DOJ to challenge the results of the election.
Trump personally pressured Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the counting of the electoral votes—a direct violation of the Electoral College Act.
Trump planned for the January 6 rally and march to the Capitol. The march was not spontaneous but premeditated and circulated among his supporters.
Trump knew the crowd was armed before sending the mob to Congress. He fully intended to go with them, know the threats of violence and the presence of weapons.
Trump knew about the violence at 1:20 PM. For nearly 3 hours, he watched the coverage on television.
He refused pleas from staff, government officials, and family to intervene.
Only after reinforcements arrived, did Trump tell his supporters to go home. They immediately complied.
He refused to fully condemn the violence and has since justified it.
No credibility. Everything you post is a lie, false accusation or a childish insult.
shareBut that’s Trumps cabinet, lawyers, family and security who testified that info!
You're the boy who cried wolf. I don't give a shit what you say it is. Don't you understand? You people have been lying to the point that no one believes you any more. Just like your over-use of the word "racist". Go forth and drown in your own fabricated hyperbole.
shareMalignant narcissists can have psychotic episodes, triggered by losing power.
Original article in Business Insider.
Katyal — a law professor and an Obama-era acting solicitor general — made an appearance on NBC on Sunday, three days after the House panel investigating January 6, 2021, unanimously voted to subpoena Trump. The subpoena will compel the former president to cooperate with the committee or be held in contempt of Congress and referred to the Justice Department for prosecution — much like Trump's allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.
In response to the decision, Trump sent a document to the panel that started with the sentence, "THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN!" and contained multiple baseless claims of election fraud. It also included four photos of the crowd near the Washington Monument on January 6, 2021.
"Yeah, so, this is a 14-page screed, Jonathan, that's very hard to follow. But it does seem to dig the hole in deeper for Donald Trump," Katyal told the MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart.
Triggered by losing power? Like the democrat tantrum that derailed Trump's entire presidency and continues to this day???
shareHmm, worth a shot.
shareWhat's he going to say? "Losing the election made me crazy and things got out of hand. Not guilty, your honor."
shareThat could be iffy. He pleads "insanity" and his board may use it as justification to finally boot him from the CEO position in his company.
