WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Capitol riot won’t give Donald Trump the chance to turn a possible live TV appearance of his subpoenaed testimony into a “circus” and “food fight” as lawmakers try to ensure he complies with their demands, the panel’s vice chair said Sunday.
The committee is demanding Trump’s testimony under oath next month as well as records relevant to its investigation. To avoid a complicated and protracted legal battle, Trump reportedly had told associates he might consider complying with the subpoena if he could answer questions during live testimony.
When asked if the committee would consider taking his testimony live,

Will she take the elephant (herself) and the rhino out of the tent? Maybe her daddy can commit some war crimes and kill 200,000 more civilians. That would shut down her circus.

One of the most publicized and severe cases of TDS. Her recent political annihilation in Wyoming won't stop her. She's a perfect "contributor" for MSNBC. Daddy wants what's best for you.

Just her being there has already made it a circus. The real President getting involved will make it legitimate; bur why should he have to waste his time. Anyone who has looked at any of the video can tell no one tried to cause any damage. They were all there to show their displeasure with biden's new type of government. It sure wasn't Portland!

Hey Mad Liz, it's already a circus and you are one of the Ringmasters. You have clowns to the left and clowns to the right of you. A circus indeed. One that Roland Freisler would be proud.

Can you turn a kangaroo court into a circus? We shall see. It has already been a travesty, a waste of taxpayer money, a partisan witch hunt, a fascist exercise in creating and then blaming defendants, oh and incarcerating people and denying them due process. Why not a circus? It's been everything but law-abiding.

If I were President Trump, and they will not show this live on TV, I would simply have my lawyer inform the committee when they ask their first question:
“Given that this is nothing more than a Soviet-style “show trial” that would make Josef Stalin so proud, and shows a total disregard for the Constitution, Donald Trump invokes his 5th amendment right to refuse to answer that question!!!”
And then inform them that that will be his response to all questions asked of President Trump that day!!!
The meltdown (especially by the RINO’s on the committee) will be epic!!!!

Dizzy Lizzy, a complete freakin delusional moron. The J6 committee is already a circus and she's one of the ring masters. She's running a communist show trial that Kim Jong-un would be proud of. No defense witnesses, no defense questioning of their accusers, only the lies spoken by each communist member of the committee. Now Lizzy, you can go shine Biden's shoes.

It's already clear that President Trump has at least 30 IQ points on anyone that "committee" can boast. And he has their number as far as what they plan, what they're guilty of, and what they don't want exposed. I almost expect that if Pres Trump does agree to participate, given an opportunity for them to realize that they will have lost their bullet point #1 by his mere acceptance, at least some of Ms. Cheney and her cohorts may find a reason to be elsewhere at that time.
I am so sick of the efforts by the Left (and RINOs) to rob President of the honor and prestige of his Office, as they have done since DAY One. They have gone pure Stalinesque in their attempt to make political "non-persons" out of #45 and his supporters. These people have no respect for anything in our country, and I am willing to forgive, if not outright cheer, every blow President Trump is able to land, should he appear in their little Keystone Cop showdown.
And I pray that conservative support will be shallow and short-lived for any Republican, given a win in November, who is not willing to acknowledge that we are in a blood battle for our future, and to go for the jugular on these people when they assume offices in January. No compromise, no Mr. Nice Guy, no quarter.

Re: her threat to run for prez... LIZard will, like many, many democRATS, and a few RINOs, organize nonprofits and pacs to funnel millions to herself and others. Also, if she actually attempts to run a real campaign, she will forever have the adjective ‘former prez candidate’ attached to her name.
Also, she may tap into the Bernie Sanders method. Besides all the millions Bernie and his wife sucked in, it seemed that part of the payoff for ceasing his prez campaign (several times) was another house, mansion, etc. He now has 4, 5, 6, and one of these is a lake house. Like every other well-connected ‘Socialist’ he is living large.

So Dizzy Lizzy is the boss of Trump, is she? HAHAHAHHA! So what will you do when he claims Executive Privilege? Have him arrested and charged with contempt of congress? Warning to Liz.... you play with fire you get burned. Trump will burn your circus act to the ground. Get him in a live testimony on national TV and you will be sorry you ever got the idea in the first place. He will absolutely destroy you and the committee. Guaranteed.

It’s truly laughable that Cheney thinks she can disallow Trump to do or say anything. She is nobody. A useful tool for the Democrats who has made herself and this whole so-called committee look like a clown show. She asked for it and she’s going to get it. Bigley.

Kelsey Grammer is narrating a series of specials on American History, shown on Fox.
The other night, part of the evening was spent on Benedict Arnold, the exemplar for the meaning of traitor.
Liz Cheney is the replacement, in my eyes, of Benedict Arnold,, as that exemplar..
And Benedict Arnold provided valuable assistannce to the U.S. before he cashed out, unlike Liz. She has done nothing of value to the U.S., ever. She is nothig more than a living example of a draft deferrment from the Viet Nam era.
