Just got this popup.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, tells NPR that he has sent a letter to Donald J. Trump, Jr., saying that he wants him to testify in an open session of the committee as early as next week and will subpoena him if necessary.

He'll deny his father new anything and the NYT has been holding off on releasing more info about those emails. You're move jr.

 

[mnannola]

They finally got a Trump to answer some questions. This will be must watch TV because unlike the other people that have answered questions, Junior has no clue what to do up there. He will sing like a canary because he doesn't know any better.

 

[thuway]

Must see TV.:/ hopefully something good comes of it.

 

[DrForester]

The "R" tells me he's in for some serious grilling about how this was a set up by Hillary Clinton.

Won't be only Rs on that committee

 

[jelly]

Something something evil Hilary, King Obama, can't remember but totes remember evil Hilary and King Obama. Thank you for your time.

 

[Binabik15]

Is McCain going to call him Mr. President (junior)?

 

[Stinkles]

 

[How About No]

muahahahaha

 

[RaidenZR]

It does feel like the NYT and TWP have been playing a game of incremental chess with this administration to keep getting them on the record. Hopefully it amounts to something of real consequence in the end.

 

[Degenerate]

Get the popcorn ready?

 

[SoundofSilence]

Apparently there's another bombshell coming from the NYT shortly.

 

[hitme]

Jr. wishing he was Eric right now...

 

[RaidenZR]

Grassley was on TV in the past two days and he surprisingly seemed lit. I was shocked to see it, and maybe in the session it won't amount to much, but he was a little agitated about Trump Jr.

 

[Marvie_3]

This should be good tv

 

[Smiles and Cries]

oh this dumbass is going to completely screw it up gonna be funnnnn

he has plenty of time to practice lying

 

[DrForester]

Won't be only Rs on that committee

I know. But I also expect nothing but deflection from the Republicans on the comittee. And they're in charge of the committee.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Jr. wishing he was Eric right now...

More like wishing he was Tiffany lol

 

[Zolo]

he has plenty of time to practice lying

And if anything he lies about is contradicted later, it's perjury.

 

[Azuran]

I'm looking forward to the Maverick's questions.

 

[Electric Eye]

They supposedly have the full list of who else was CC'd on those emails something jr. edited out of his release.

 

[Bronx-Man]

[Scirrocco]

But will it be under oath? If not I won't even bother tuning in.

 

[Subway Diet]

Heyyyy,
it was so long ago.
The media didn't even care at the time.
And the Russians didn't even have juicy info anyway.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Too bad these hearings turn into GOP members coaching these guys into acceptable spaces for their base while undermining their crimes.

 

[Do Better]

He's gonna catch that disease that makes people say "I don't recall" every other sentence.

 

[nubbe]

House of Cards can't compete with this

 

[theWB27]

But will it be under oath? If not I won't even bother tuning in.

I think they've all been under oath...republicans just aren't enforcing it. Like with sessions.

 

[adamsapple]

Won't be only Rs on that committee

At least we'll find out which James Bond or Jason Bourne movies Jr. likes.

 

[Futureman]

He'll deny his father new anything and the NYT has been holding off on releasing more info about those emails. You're move jr.

is this wishful thinking (that NYT has more info but withholding for now?) or somehow confirmed?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

And if anything he lies about is contradicted later, it's perjury.

daddy has a pardon stick

 

[RPGCrazied]

Open session! Nice. Love to see him squirm when Democrats ask the questions. Please slip up and bring your father down.

 

[Matrix XII]

At least if he goes the "I don't recall" route then it leads to more distrust of him. When Sessions did that it didn't help him look at more trustworthy.

 

[Zolo]

daddy has a pardon stick

Eh. We'll reach that point sooner or later as things start to heat up.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

is this wishful thinking (that NYT has more info but withholding for now?) or somehow confirmed?

The reporter who broke the Trump Jr. email story has said "I'm still reporting."

That's all I'm aware of, the but there is a strong indication that they have additional info.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

He's gonna catch that disease that makes people say "I don't recall" every other sentence.

"Are you Donald Trump's son?"
"Do you have 10 fingers and 10 toes?"
"Are you thinking thoughts right now?"

 

[mclem]

...is that under oath?

 

[Brandon F]

GOP Republicans suffering yet another serious outbreak of amnesia.

 

[norm9]

Won't be only Rs on that committee

Perhaps not, but surely some will be sympathetic to a family man like Junior.

 

[Matrix XII]

"Are you Donald Trump's son?"
"Do you have 10 fingers and 10 toes?"
"Are you thinking thoughts right now?"

"Did you wake up this morning?"
"Do you live in the USA?"

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Eh. We'll reach that point sooner or later as things start to heat up.

I can't wait to see Trump use pardons on his own family. The dude has the I don't give a fuck attitude to do it for the whole clan.

This is all a 'hoax' to him anyway.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Can he even claim executive privilege like Sessions tried to?

 

[Ricerocket]

Under oath or not, I feel like he would still lie. Not expecting anything out of it.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Can he even claim executive privilege like Sessions tried to?

He's not an employee of the government so no.
