Apparently the Slobfather was warned by Cipollone that the Capitol attack was illegal and Ivanka was aware of this letter,

Now isn’t this interesting
Trump Lawyer Cipollone Hires GOP Veteran Fielding in D.C

Former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone has hired veteran Republican lawyer Fred Fielding to join Cipollone’s law firm in Washington.

The 81-year-old Fielding, who has worked in Republican administrations dating back to Richard Nixon, served as White House counsel to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. He also advised former President Donald Trump’s transition team, working on an effort to separate the then president-elect from his various businesses.

“Fred is one of the most respected lawyers in the nation and has exceptional experience as a litigator and counselor,” Cipollone said in a statement Wednesday. His addition “will further cement our firm’s reputation as one of the country’s leading national litigation firms.”

Fielding is the latest Trump legal adviser to join the firm, Ellis George Cipollone. The California-founded firm rebranded in October when Cipollone and a pair of Trump administration alum launched its D.C. office.

Fielding retired from his role as a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in 2019, according to Morgan Lewis spokesperson. The massive law firm said it would cut ties to Trump in the weeks following the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The move, and similar efforts by large firms to distance themselves from the former president’s orbit, has created an opportunity for smaller outfits to pick up the business.

Looks like Pat is not planning to go down with SSS Slobfather.

2. That's a fascinating look into the Republican weeds

It's the kind of news that is so far down the rabbit hole that I'm surprised that it made onto cable news.

Thanks for the heads-up, malaise. You good?

3. When they were talking about the reason the Jan 6 Committee wants to talk to

the spawn daughter, they mentioned that there is word that the reason Ivanka wanted him to ''stop the attack on the Capitol coup'' was that she knew of the letter. I found this news from yesterday by accident but it is very timely especially since, after Jan 6, Lawyers were running from the Slobfather faster than Usain Bolt. A nd it looks like his AG bolted once he heard about the real steal - aka the coup

I love the timing of the Bloomberg article
