If you were hoping to see footage of extreme right wingnut Ginni Thomas’ testimony before the January 6 committee in this Thursday’s televised hearing, you’re outta luck.Rep.
Zoe Lofgren of California, one of the nine members on the bipartisan committee investigating the deadly attack, said the panel didn’t videotape the four-hour interview like they did with several of the other witnesses.Related: With no place left to run, Ginni Thomas begrudgingly agrees to meet with January 6 committee“It was just the agreement reached with her,” Lofgren told MSNBC this week. “And I think it was suitable from all sides.”That means any testimony from Thomas that appears in Thursday’s broadcast will be be shown through a transcript.
Asked whether the committee plans to do this, Lofgren simply said, “We may.”@ZoeLofgren Why would you allow the Ginni Thomas interview to only be transcribed?
Isn't there enough perks already for the powerful? Do you know how frustrating that is for Americans? BOOOOOO. ????????????????— Nikki Sparks (@nsparks3877) October 12, 2022After dragging her feet all summer, Thomas, who is married to extreme right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, finally agreed to sit down with the committee late last month to talk about her close communication with Donald Trump’s camp in the days leading up to the insurrection, during which she sent over 20 totally-not-crazy-sounding texts to Trump’s then-chief of staff Mark Meadows, such as:Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military.
