Congress could begin taking testimony as soon as this week from top Justice Department officials who bore witness to then-President Donald Trump’s desperate attempt to overturn his 2020 reelection loss based upon lies and misinformation.

And in the increasingly apparent real-time Justice Department efforts to combat that attempt, one man who has agreed to testify is emerging as something of a potential star witness in the effort: Richard P. Donoghue.


Repeatedly, the former acting deputy attorney general’s name has surfaced in notes and emails repudiating the effort to call the election results into question in no uncertain terms.

The building record of Donoghue’s resistance to the gambit makes him one of the most eagerly anticipated witnesses in the investigation. Trump’s team has for now signaled it won’t fight such testimony.

11. Eventually, everyone chooses a side when someone is out for destruction

I hope this means there is a change in the landscape making it safer for the reasonable to come out publicly.

A lot of tsk-tsking and then nothing?

That's always the way these "highly anticipated" events seem to go.
