Scoop: Blockbuster witness for Jan. 6 hearings
Axios ^ | 6/1/22 | Sophia Cai

Posted on 06/03/2022 10:05:44 PM PDT by DallasBiff

J. Michael Luttig, a former federal judge and lawyer who advised former Vice President Mike Pence, is expected to testify in the Jan. 6 select committee's public hearings this month, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The committee, which has until now been interviewing witnesses behind closed doors, has revealed little about its plans for the public hearings set to begin next week. >p> The desire to showcase Luttig — a judge lionized within the conservative legal movement — matches what sources have described as the committee's strategy to reach as broad an audience as possible, including conservatives.

The big picture: Luttig, who served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, was a key behind-the-scenes figure in the lead up to Jan. 6. He furnished Pence with the legal argument the vice president used to publicly reject Trump's unconstitutional order to overturn President Biden's victory

Pence was working with resistance and swamp from the very beginning.

His brother has supported all the crazy spending, too.

The Dems are dreaming of Pence doing the McCain thing, where he says he shouldn’t really win before the Elsction, and gets another Multi-million dollar Book deal.

They are so out of touch, while living in their bubble.

Gotta hope there will be a point they overdo it and it backfires.

Then again with liberals there is no known limit.

Pence ran out and dished dirt to sign a book deal for $3 to $4 Million and promptly bought a Mansion with cash.


Not bad for a couple that never liked the Trumps.


She didn’t like the ritzy dresses Melania wore, and they parlayed their jealousy to the tune of $4 Million, and a no-show Swamp job.


The next $4 Million is for him to run and interject problems for Trump, while having zero shot of winning one state.

Luttig was up for consideration for the Supreme Court, which would have been a disaster, but some conservative leaders stood strong against him and Alito was nominated instead.

That’s actually a good point.

This is consistent with the FBI’s coup theory.

They wanted to take out Trump by convincing Republicans to flee him. They thought that Prostitutes peeing on someone would make the religious right and middle America revolt against Trump.

Here, they try to sell this guy as someone “lionized” in the conservative movement when he’s no such thing.

They’ve done the focus groups and they know Adam Schiff is viewed as a wild liar, so they have a specific target audience. They’ll try to target Republican women, too. That’s why Kidzinger cried like he did.

This Luttig has become an insane anti Trumper But: As a legal advisor for Pence he would no zero directly about Trump.

And a reminder about conservative media idols. This fool is the one Laura Ingraham demanded be put on the Supreme Court.

I can clearly remember her telling how she saw him at mass and “When is Judge Luttig going to be Nominated to the Supreme Court! “

Laura Ingram was crying on TV that Luttig had to be Nominated. She also went on about John Roberts’ “courage”.

Bull$hit!

Overturn “President” Biden’s “victory?”

The election was stolen from the true winner, President Donald J. Trump, in the wee morning hours of Wednesday, November 4th.

‘eff Luttig. Never heard of the sell-out. How much did Pence pay him?

By the way, Pence, your white bread boring a$$ will never be president.

Really? He’s been well known for decades - very prominent judge, often discussed as a Supreme Court nominee and even came up in Presidential debates in 2016 - I believe brought up saying he should have been nominated instead of Roberts.

America is going to sh*t in a handbag and all the ‘RATS care about is Bonzo’s FIB January Six fiasco. What a crock. Anyone who votes for a ‘RAT needs their arse kicked. Really bad. I just read a story about a 12 year old sticking up a convenience store in Michigan and firing a gun in the process. A 12 YEAR OLD! And the Commie and Nazi RATs think it’s the NRA’s fault. That’s caused by doing too many drugs and not being able to get a job because your college diploma isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on..

It’s not the 1970s when there were only 13 channels. With 100s of channels to choose from only political junkies will be watching.

There will be nothing coming out of this sh** show that will takes people’s minds off of $5 a gallon gas and 8+% inflation.

The Jumping Judge is going to get the Comey, Mueller, and Bill Barr treatment?

We heard how they were all beyond reproach, “no-nonsense” and full of integrity.

If anyone still believes the lines, please don’t drive.

He’s obviously a Conservative stalwart, and a CNN Contributor.

Axios is Comcast

And the author writes

>> [Luttig] furnished Pence with [the] unconstitutional order to overturn President Biden’s victory

Remember Trump’s displeasure with Comcast?
