President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not sure if he’s *the* guy, but former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified today.

 

He's a big get, depending on whether he testified or took the Fifth. He was the one running the Enquirer's Catch and Kill on the Stormy story.

 

Yeah, huge get, considering he’d already testified. Where do you get this shit?

This story is about an election that already happened. Does this refer to an earlier post here? Otherwise I don't get it.

 

D'oh!

Here's the one I meant to post:

I don't know how grand juries work. Do members of the grand jury not attend all sessions?

 

Considering the stage that this investigation has reached, all the testimony, e-mails and texts that the prosecutors now have access to, when Pecker was seated in front of the grand jury this time around his choices were to be honest, to lie and risk getting charged with perjury (because it's an easy perjury trap, as much evidence as they have) , or take the Fifth. He might very well have been asked about things he said under oath last time when there is now testimony or evidence showing he lied.I can't help but think that he will be either more forthcoming or he'll be at risk of getting rolled up into charges along with Trump and whoever else.

In theory this GJ was going to be through last week, but they postponed it until this week because there was another witness the prosecution wanted to hear from. The prosecutor thought it was worth bringing him back in. Maybe he knows something.

It's a huge get because Pecker has inside knowledge of exactly how it went down and what was said by Trump and Cohen, what the intent was - if they have enough leverage on him to force him to talk. The Judge in the DoJ J6 investigation just subpoenaed Meadows, Scavino, Steven Miller, Cuccinelli, John Ratcliffe in that investigation. Looks to me that we're getting to the part of these investigations where they get to the top of the pyramid. Still a few levels to go.

I have no idea whether David Pecker is going to flip or if he's willing to take a bullet for Trump. We'll see fairly soon, looks like.
