raise your hand if you would like to see Trump and Pompeo and Kushner testify under oath in front of Congress for 11 straight hours on live television to explain why it was so important to release five thousand Taliban militants from prison and how much did they profit from it

And what Pompeo discussed with the new leader Mullah Baradar when they met in Qatar after the election. This may be why they blocked Biden s transition team from getting access to state dept material.

Pentagon blocked Biden's intelligence transition team from meeting with agencies - DEC 5, 2020
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/04/politics/pentagon-biden-transition-intelligence/index.html

But early in the week, word came from the Pentagon that the Biden team would have no engagement with defense intelligence agencies until it had submitted questions in advance and listed the names of the people with whom it wanted to interact.

At that point, the Biden team's requests would be reviewed by the Defense Department's general counsel and Kash Patel, the Trump loyalist appointed to lead the Pentagon's transition last month amid President Donald Trump's purge of civilian leadership at the department. [snip]

"[Director of National Intelligence John] Ratcliffe was hot. He saw it as insubordination," the former intelligence official said. "It was his authority as DNI to set the stage for and processes of the transition." [snip]

Trump appointed Patel and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the acting under secretary of defense for intelligence and security, to their posts as part of a slew of major changes at the Pentagon, where he has jettisoned much of the civilian leadership in recent weeks, replacing them with political loyalists as his administration winds to a close.


Oh, there are so many questions to be asked.

None of those jackasses would last 11 minutes nevermind the 11 hours of grilling that Secretary Clinton endured.

I think she smiled because she knew that the arch inquisitor, what’s his name, Trey Gowdy, was an idiot. (He still is, I’m sure.)

Pompeo nor Trump nor little Jared will show up to testify before the January 6th committee. If necessary, Kushner will steal away to Israel and Fat Mike will join his mentor, the Mar-a-Lago Pantload by refusing to answer the subpoena.

At least one would play the "withered old man" shtick to evoke viewer sympathy, which would in turn cause the media to attack the questioning Dems for abusing the "man who's served his country proudly."

I don't think they would do it for a penny less than $10 million each.
Trump of course would make the most, I am sure he demands that.
