Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, co-chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, said the committee expects former President Donald Trump would testify behind closed doors if he complies with the committee’s subpoena, and said the committee wants to avoid turning Trump’s testimony into political theater.

Cheney said in an interview with NBC News on Sunday she expects Trump will comply with a subpoena from the committee that called on the former President to testify and share select documents with investigators. Cheney said the committee plans to treat Trump’s testimony “with great seriousness.”

“We are going to proceed in terms of questioning of the former President under oath,” Cheney said. “It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves.”

Cheney dismissed the possibility of Trump testifying in front of the committee publicly.

“(Trump)’s not going to turn this into a circus,” Cheney said. “This isn’t going to be, you know, his first debate against Joe Biden and the circus and the food fight that that became. This is a far too serious set of issues.”

Trump should tell them, public testimony or get lost!

[SunkenCiv]

The Stalin-style show trial complete with perjury and suborned perjury gives circuses a bad name.

[Allegra]

Good grief, that woman is unhinged.

Go *away* Lizzie.

Wish they could retroactively charge her father with war crimes

[dennisw]

Time is running out for these Dem clowns to “get” Trump. The Dems lose The House, and this committee gets tossed onto the dustbin of history

[hopefullamerican]

I suspect that a very large percentage of the American people could care less about these hearings and don’t follow them at all.

[Jim Noble]

it’s a purely Stalinist show trial

AND, a show trial not being conducted under the Judicial Power of the United States, at that.

[Luke21]

“Kangaroo court, minority Reps rejected by Pelosi, no defense allowed, secret testimony…it’s a purely Stalinist show trial.”

And Bannon sentenced to prison.

[JoeRed]

So far, all we’ve seen are the side show freaks.

[Waverunner]

So after the clowns ,jugglers, and contortionists, we don't get to see the elephant in the room.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

So it was all a sham? Well, duh.

But to put out this statement and admit it? Hilarious!

[Lazamataz]

I wouldn’t plead the 5th.

I would simply do the Hillary thing.

“I don’t recall.”

“I’m sorry, I have no memory of that.”

“Don’t remember.”

“Cannot put my finger on that.”

[blueunicorn6]

“He’s not going to turn this circus into a circus!”

[bray]

Do circuses have Kangaroos?

[bray]

All she needs is orange hair and a big red nose.

[Sicon]

Liz is quickly becoming the most despicable democrat in Congress. (yes, I know)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Stolen from Lazamataz.
