I'm not sure what your current fixation is on Iran but I don't see any major changes and "The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have had no formal diplomatic relationship since that date. Switzerland is the U.S. protecting power and provides limited consular services to U.S. citizens in Iran. Iran has no embassy in Washington, D.C."

Unlike you I remember the last time the remark got national political attention. It was a long time ago and I thought it was funny because I was a sixties liberal. You are over your head in this stuff.

Today the Jan. 6th Committee held its seventh public hearing. You might just hear about some of it. Cipilone's testimony was damning and there was a crazy "Star Wars Cantina" meeting on Dec 18th when Trump met with a group of outside allies and advisers at the White House, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn and Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne. White House aides and advisors arrived later and were alarmed by the allies Trump had invited to the White House. Sidney Powell testified, "I bet Pat Cipollone set a new land speed record" to get to the Oval Office, referring to the White House counsel.

The committee showed a text from Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about the meeting, that read, "the west wing is UNHINGED."

Later that night after 1am Trump tweeted “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” 

Even more troubling for old Donny: 

"In closing remarks, Cheney revealed Trump himself attempted to call a witness to the select committee's investigation, and the panel turned over the information to the Department of Justice.

"After our last hearing, President Trump tried to call a witness in our investigation, a witness you have not yet seen in these hearings," Cheney said. "That person declined to answer or respond to President Trump's call and instead alerted their lawyer to the call. Their lawyer alerted us and this committee has supplied that information to the Department of Justice."

She continued: "Let me say one more time; We will take any effort to influence testimony very seriously."


Uh oh. I heard a lawyer on TV who said it was an open and shut case of witness tampering.
