With the new Congress convening tomorrow, the January 6 Committee spent the last few days of the year engaging in an enormous document dump — not just its final report and executive summary, but pages and pages of testimony from various folks who didn't make it into the committee hearings themselves.
It makes you think that if the House had stayed Democratic, the committee could have held several more hearings, starring the likes of Kellyanne Conway, Hope Hicks and Ginni Thomas. Conway and Hicks might have been willing to testify live, but Thomas probably not. Her testimony is still mind-blowingly nutty. The woman is a perfidious loose cannon, and if John Roberts doesn't get control of her and her "best friend," his Court will never repair its already-in-the-toilet reputation.
Like others, Conway's testimony transcript contains sudden white space, which appears for no apparent reason — no potty breaks or decision to go off the record. The only possible explanation: It's testimony that relates directly to the DOJ investigation, which is not public yet. We think various Trumpsters should fear the white space.
As for Hicks, Benedict Donald must be through with her, because she testified willingly and was unflattering to him. That doesn't make her any kind of a heroine. Remember that as the Capitol was under attack, the only thing she worried about was that no one would hire her after the Administration. Top-level aides take oaths to protect and defend the Constitution. Seems like Hicks forgot about hers.
Trump must have liked her because she was attractive, though. Which brings us, in closing, to our theory about Elise Stefanik. The New York Times's enormous expose of the ultra-MAGA Elsie, published right before Congressional Republicans duke it out over leadership roles, has a devastating final paragraph: "News stories about [2024] still mention Stefanik as a rising star who might join a Trump ticket...but within the president's inner circle, stories casting her as a potential running mate are regarded as clumsy plants by her own team, and inspire bemusement and mockery. Trump liked her, they said, and liked watching her defend him. But even he didn't trust her."
And take it from us, he doesn't think she's hot enough. We cats HISS.
