Michael PopokHOST
Truth is a defense.
Michael PopokHOST
So they feel that they have the right, the BBC, to prove that Donald Trump fomented the violence, whipped that crowd into a frenzy, knowing they were armed, and then turned them like a weapon and aimed them at the Capitol, which is exactly the working theory of the Jan 6th Committee and Jack Smith.
Michael PopokHOST
And so they want to prove that however we sliced and diced it, the impression that was left was accurate.
Michael PopokHOST
You started the Capitol burndown.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sources say the White House call logs, phone call logs from insurrection day are blank from the time the president returned from his speech on the Ellipse until he gave a Rose Garden speech hours later, in between, of course, prior to storm the U.S. Capitol.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These are important records that are a key part of the investigation by the January 6th Select Committee.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you'll remember this is information that they fought in court to obtain.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was a court case that went all the way to the Supreme Court.
Joe PattersonHOST
And boy, were they hopping mad about it.
Joe PattersonHOST
And by the way, Jamie Raskin was on the January 6th Select Committee.
Joe PattersonHOST
He's ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
Joe PattersonHOST
So there he is back in 2024, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
Michael PopokHOST
We're talking about Jack Smith.
Michael PopokHOST
We're talking about the BBC trying to get two inside the White House lawyers Pat Cipollone and Eric Hirschman, who testified for the Jan 6th Committee, to testify in the case.
Michael PopokHOST
All to prove that Donald Trump did sow discontent, did whip up that crowd, did foment an insurrection, did whip them into a frenzy at the Ellipse during the speech on Jan 6th, knowing they were armed and pointed them towards the Capitol, just as Jack Smith laid out in his indictment and in his final report.
Michael PopokHOST
Now Donald Trump's not going to be able to weasel his way out of a deposition in a case that he brought, much the way he did in two prior cases, like the case he brought against Michael Cohen, dismissed as soon as he was sent for deposition, and one against his niece, Mary Trump, also dismissed right at the time of depositions.

Michael PopokHOST
He knows the BBC has arrayed against him an entire collection, like an entire group of people that he doesn't want to see and he only sees in his nightmares.
Michael PopokHOST
Jack Smith, former special counsel, lawyers that work for him.
Michael PopokHOST
And then his children, they're trying to get anybody that testified to the Jan 6th committee Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Jared, all of them, put them, use their videos or have them testify.
Michael PopokHOST
And the lawyers that told Donald Trump there was no fraud in the election sufficient to overturn its results, right? And testified against him, willingly or not, at the John Sixth Committee.
Michael PopokHOST
See, the BBC is convinced that it has the right in terms of a defamation defense to prove truth.
Michael PopokHOST
And since Donald Trump is going around saying in the lawsuit that the BBC cut and pasted and sliced and diced his speech on the ellipse and therefore left the false impression that he fomented the violence and wanted them to attack the Capitol, they want to get the lawyers for Donald Trump, the ones that testified before the Jan 6th Committee and Jack Smith, they want to get Jack Smith.
Michael PopokHOST
They want to get them all before...
Michael PopokHOST
this court before the jury, and they want to strip away any type of executive privilege or attorney-client privilege that was already removed by federal judges in the District of Columbia, like Chief Judge Boasberg, who is the head of most of that grand jury process, along with the other chief judge.
Tom FittonHOST
So here you have, you know, a Biden judge, right, telling the CIA to release information about something that may make the Biden gang and Nancy Pelosi and the CIA look awful because this is hidden from the American people, by the way.
Tom FittonHOST
The January 6th Committee didn't tell you about the CIA being there.
Tom FittonHOST
The media didn't tell you about the CIA being there.
Tom FittonHOST
It was only Judicial Watch's dogged litigation and investigative know-how that got another agency to tell us the CIA was there and only was Judicial Watch who went to the CIA and demanded under court lawsuit to get the records.
Michael PopokHOST
Cassidy Hutchinson, because she is being criminally investigated by Donald Trump as retribution, she's made it clear through her lawyers she does not want to testify in the BBC case.
Michael PopokHOST
She stands on her sworn statements and testimony with the Jan 6th Committee, and if she's called or subpoenaed, she will invoke the Fifth Amendment.
Michael PopokHOST
In contrast, the BBC told the judge yesterday that Jack Smith is voluntarily testifying.
Michael PopokHOST
They'll subpoena him.
Michael CohenHOST
This is Michael Cohen, and you're listening to the Mayor Culpa Podcast.
Michael CohenHOST
With the latest round of subpoenas targeting Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Cracken Powell, Jenna Ellis, as well as Eric Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the January 6th committee has shown its cards, and it appears that all roads are leading to Donald Trump.
Erin BurnettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The committee is demanding records and testimony from Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, and Boris Epstein.
Erin BurnettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Committee Chair Bennie Thompson said in a statement, quote, The four individuals we've subpoenaed today advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, and were in direct contact with the former president about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes.

speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
All right, a big story breaking this morning about the January 6th investigation.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
It happens to be really bad news for the Trump family.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
Eric Trump, as well as Kimberly Guilfoyle's phone records, have been subpoenaed and reportedly obtained by the January 6th committee.
speaker_16CORRESPONDENT
Again, pushing forward into the inner circle around Trump and theoretically eventually to Trump himself.
Mitch McConnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I think this is a purely political exercise that adds nothing.
Michael CohenHOST
Democrats instead created a House Select Committee to examine the events of that day and understand what role Trump played.
Michael CohenHOST
It has interviewed hundreds of people and is threatening jail time for those who refuse to comply.
Michael CohenHOST
But it is only two Republican members.
Michael CohenHOST
He's describing a conspiracy to overthrow the election, to prevent Congress from fulfilling its obligations, and to block the people's selected choice from assuming the presidency.
Michael CohenHOST
I do worry that what we are placing all our hopes on the January 6th committee to save democracy when, at the end of the day, that all they really are supposed to do is issue a report.
Michael CohenHOST
We have been to this place time and again.
Michael CohenHOST
I mean, go back, the Mueller report was a giant fucking nothing burger undermined by Bill Barr and twisted a- fucking upside down and backwards and turned upside down by Donald Trump.
6 MINS LATER
Michael CohenHOST
Snell provided us with a roadmap for what to do next.
Michael CohenHOST
So let's go now to that conversation.
Michael CohenHOST
Okay, so Tristan, Roger Stone is taking the fifth today for his deposition before the January 6th committee.
Michael CohenHOST
Now, Stone has already been sent to the slammer once, only to then be pardoned by our corrupt former idiot-in-chief.
