This could easily spell serious trouble for the former President, assuming the info gathered is actually used to hold him accountable. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On Saturday, former acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen made himself available for a seven hour testimony. Democrats, Republicans were there all of this behind closed doors. So we do not know specifically what Rosenstein had
Legal aid needs
For both Democrats and Republicans were also present. And basically what they wanted to know was the extent of Donald Trump's attempts to interfere with the results of the 2020 presidential election. After this testimony was made public this past weekend experts, including one who actually used to work for Ted Cruz are now predicting that the flood gates have been opened and that more and more DOJ officials are going to come forward. Willingly like Rosen did to expose what Donald Trump attempted to do following the 2020 presidential election. Because again, Rosen volunteered for this and he volunteered for it. After the DOJ came out and said, recently, we're not going to block any of our people current or former from testifying about any of this stuff that happens. So I want to talk to him, have at it. And currently some folks like Rosen himself were chomping at the bit to go out there and give whatever information they had.
Dick Durbin, Senator, a democratic Senator who was present there, said he gave up the goods. He spilled the beans on Trump. Now that's all Durbin would tell us that's a pretty damning admission. And again, when you have all of these, uh, other experts out there, including, again, those that actually work in politics and work for some of the bad guys saying, this is really bad for Trump, because more people are going to come forward. I'd say it's a bad day for Trump. Here's the thing though. We don't know what's being discussed. We don't know exactly at this point what the purpose of these testimonies is even for, is it to launch another criminal probe, is it to maybe go back and impeach him for a third time or however that would work for a former president? You know, what is the end goal here of having all of this information out there?
Obviously in just the last two weeks weeks, we have gotten a plethora of new intelligence about Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. You know, his almost daily phone calls to Rosen, begging him to do this, his little crony, Jeffrey Clark inside the DOJ, uh, trying to get Rosen and Donna Hugh to sign off on a letter to basically force Georgia, to hold a special session of their Congress, to try to do whatever they can for the Georgia results. It's ridiculous. And that's all public. So one can only imagine the kind of goods that this committee got from Rosen just this past week. And of course with the DOJ, no longer anybody back from this, basically giving them the green light and with Rosen, who was the acting attorney general when all this happened, going first willingly for seven hours and all the reports saying, yeah, he gave us some good stuff that is going to compel even more people from the DOJ to come forward. That's what the experts are saying. That's what happens in situations like this, the flood gates to reiterate what they said
Have been opened, but all of it may need
May mean nothing. As I explained on ring of fire yesterday, if this isn't for the purpose of accountability and enacting some kind of punishment against Donald Trump for doing this for trying to subvert democracy, for trying his little soft coup you know, for possibly even conspiracy. If we don't have criminal charges from this, if we don't have some kind of material punishment against him, then all of it's a waste of time because we know he interfered. We know that now all the information is out there readily available. And I'm sure again, there's tons of stuff we don't know about how bad it really was, but we all know it happened. So we aren't using that to go after him criminally, to hold him accountable in some way that actually punishes him. Then all this may just be a big old waste of time. If the goal is to embarrass him. Sure, that's fun, but that doesn't change anything. And we have to change things that doesn't even hold them accountable. Just makes them look slow, look like a fool for five minutes. And his base doesn't even care about that. There has to be a punishment.
Otherwise none of this even matters.
