Liz Cheney has called for top Trump White House legal counsel Pat Cipollone to testify before the Jan. 6 committee following explosive evidence given at Tuesdays hearing. Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said Cipollone had been concerned about the presidents plans to join the mob at the attack on the Capitol. Mr. Cipollone said something to the effect of, Please make sure we dont go up to the Capitol, Cassidy. Keep in touch with me, Hutchinson told the panel, recalling that Cipollone added: Were going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen. On Wednesday morning, Cheney tweeted: As we heard yesterday, WH counsel Pat Cippollone had significant concerns re. Trumps Jan 6 activities. Its time for Mr. Cippollone to testify on the record. Any concerns he has about the institutional interests of his prior office are outweighed by the need for his testimony.

She has a lot of courage.

even if subpoenaed. It's not lost on me that his last name literally means "Big Onion" which sounds like a mob nickname for real. The dude should not be allowed to get away with anything.
