Trump Tried To Call A White House Staffer Who Was In Talks With Jan. 6 Panel, Source Says

All WH staff members should be told, "If you get a call from former President Trump, use this app to record the call. Make sure you ask who is calling."

[johndaigonjulius]

Garland should be informed that it is not up him to protect the Presidency. It is up to the Constitution to protect it. As Pence said. It is not up to an individual to suppress the will of the voters, though I can't say I respect the man.

"I just need you to find all the ketchup packets to prove that I never threw my hamburger against the wall."

[QuinnPrice]

Normally the DOJ would be all over this. With Garland at the helm, we call this Thursday.

[usasleft]

He tried to call her? So what? What does that prove?

[mattjacksn]

Poor Donnie. He’s so alone right now that he has to intimidate witnesses personally... 🤣

[chrissenzig]

Democrats would never tamper with witnesses especially ones that never witnessed anything.

[JoeyJoJoJr]

"THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!!!!"

[intercat]

Another first. I have been watching American politics since Kennedy's assassination, and have never heard of people refusing to answer the phone when the President of the United States calls. Raffensperger did it 17 times.

Don Revolting is at it again while Garland is having breakfast.

[markpmar]

Trump acts as if he's never heard the phrase "superseding indictments." He'll be getting to know that one real well.

[robungerer]

Why he tried to call a person who as he later on stated he ".. doesnt even know who she is.." ?

[usmanidris]

Another "perfect phone call" in the making by Trump.

[rgwak]

Everyone: "No one could possibly be this stupid."
t'rump: "Hold my witness tampering."

[traildoggy]

Next time take the call, but live-stream it on Facebook.

[russellberwick]

Trump must know that the person knows something important.

[davidmichael]

I tried calling my ex wife is that illegal too ?

[AriSiMom]

Witness tampering is just an extension of the entitled thinking they are more important then the people who do then a service.

[destinyglenn]

I'm sure there are others who took the call from Trump we will never hear about.

[sicariosicario]

He keeps on doing criminal behavior without any consequences because the DOJ just keeps on letting these serious stuff be swept under the rug
