Cipollone thought Trump would be arrested on January 6th.
The incitement was so obvious to him that he thought the FBI or the US Marshals would visit TFG that very day. It was reported at the time but soon slid into the void.
Is this the headline from Friday's hearing?
Cipollone is due to testify by video with the January 6th Committee tomorrow. His name has come up in the testimony of several witnesses, including that of Cassidy Hutchinson, the last witness to testify. He had told her that if they showed up at the Capitol, the list of crimes would be "unimaginable".
He could be a dynamite witness or he could be a dud? It will all depend on how much he wishes to give them. No doubt he has a lot of information to give them if he chooses.
For example, what did Trump say when he was told the FBI may arrest him that very afternoon? How concerned was he over his legal liability? Did he show any remorse?
Very interesting.

Pelosi told top general Trump should have been ‘arrested on the spot’ for inciting Capitol insurrection, new book says
by Dan Mangan
CNBC, September 14, 2021
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the top U.S. Army general that then-President Donald Trump was a “dictator” who “should have been arrested on the spot” after what she called his coup attempt to remain in the White House by inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, a new book reveals.
Pelosi also said during a phone call in January with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mike Milley that “the Republicans have blood on their hands” for enabling Trump’s delusions about his ability to retain the presidency, the book says.
“But it is a sad state of affairs for our country that we’ve been taken over by a dictator who used force against another branch of government,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, told Milley during the call several days after the riot, according to “Peril,” a new book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

FTR: I agree with Madame Speaker and counselor Cipillone.
We have a shitload of rich and famous assholes who own large tracts of land yet refuse to pay their taxes. When I asked about that, when I worked for the county, and asked why they didn't apply some pressure I was told,
"Well, people just don't like to be told what to do."
Mind you, this was during a conversation about fire response in a rural area where there are few resources on hand at first, but the R&F crowd wont pay the local taxes that fund the service and scream when fires on their property aren't attended to by taxpayer funded services. Other than the R&F crowd, the rest of us are lower middle class to impoverished and we end up paying to protect their shit. So the county fire chiefs decided that they will only service properties for which taxes are paid.
The big problem is that all of it is surrounded by national forest and other public lands that will burn too.
But don't ask those rich and famous to participate in the tax structure because they don't like to be told what to do.
FTFF!
