. . . but if they already had the info, they can use it, but they will have to show that they already had it.

To prevent this from being a problem they likely question him on a narrow topic that has nothing to do with his own criminal liability.

It is bad for Trump because obviously, they are forcing him to say something he doesn't want to say.

It is good for the DOJ because they get the info they want.

It is unlikely to be good for Meadows.

A lot of people are assuming that "immunity" means Meadows is off the hook.

I also see some reputable legal commentators buying into the "Meadows flipped" narrative.

Immunity doesn't mean he can't be prosecuted. It means that anything he says after he was immunized can't be used against him.

It keeps people from hiding information by invoking the 5th.

If the prosecution learns something new from his testimony that implicates HIM, they can't use it.

Here are two free pieces of advice for non-Jewish people

If you haven't defedded a left-wing instance for antisemitism, you have unexamined antisemitism
If you take Nazi inversion seriously, you will catch 80% of antisemitism that's not a dude with Nazi flags in his avatar

"The Republicans are not looking for a Speaker. They seek a spectacle to hide sedition. Their main goal is a shutdown of government and services that benefit the public good.

They mask their crimes as scandal, their malice as incompetence, and people fall for it every time."

23/ Backtracking for a sec, note from Klasfeld:

Clarification for readers on this point:

Yes, even before this week, Cohen's said that he entered into his 2018 guilty pleas under pressure from federal prosecutors, conceding to some crimes he claims he didn’t commit.

This marks the first time he said that on the witness stand

It has heavier implications when one says that under oath, especially when commenting on other testimony under oath.

After Hamas meeting with other #Iran proxy terrorists today, it's unfortunate that #Palestinians by the choice of their leaders, give justification to the label of terrorist.

Any assumption of innocence for #Palestine is now fully destroyed by association.

Free the #hostages of terror now.

21/ Pagliery:

A nasty verbal fight just broke out.

AAG Faherty keeps interrupting Habba's questions.

Kise calls her out.

Judge tells him to respect the AG's team.

Kise: Respect lawyers who want to sanction ME? Respect isn't given, it's earned. I've been practicing law for 30 years without sanctions... until the AG sought sanctions against me for making legal arguments in this case.

"I've argued four cases before the Supreme Court... they want me to be respectful to them?"

I just got a lovely call from the rabbi assigned to my mom’s new hospice team. The conversation turned to Israel, and once again I’m always impressed with how many Jews can deplore Hamas and want then erased, while still being passionately empathetic to the plight of the mostly innocent Palestinians. He’s been out raising money for victims on both sides. I’m an atheist, but have much respect for genuine humanitarians.

20/ Alexander:

Trump’s attorney asks whether Cohen expected to get a position in the White House after Trump was elected president.

“Incorrect,” Cohen responds.

Trump’s attorney then pulls up text messages that appear to show Cohen hinting that he could be chief of staff.

At 3:30, a reporter asks Speaker-elect Mike Johnson, “you helped lead the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you—“

She was cut off as House Republicans booed and shouted, “Shut up! Shut up!”

The other reporters let their colleague get shouted down by these goons and then immediately asked if he’s confident he can get 217 votes on the floor.

Who cares about our democracy when there are important process questions to be asked?

House Democrats absolutely should not vote for anyone as Speaker who voted to overturn the results of the last Presidential election.
