Matt Pottinger was long considered one of the “serious” “adults” in the higher ranks of the Trump administration and had credibility among some of the elite press due to his history as a well respected foreign or war correspondent, but holy shit fuck that smug asshole.
Dunno why I just rewatched it but the dual testimony before the Jan 6 committee of former Trump staff Sarah Matthews & Matt Pottinger is jarring, in that all of Sarah’s testimony makes you think she genuinely felt bad about the riot while it is clear Matt’s takeaway was this looks bad on my resume
The Roberts’ immunity ruling is so much more shocking and frightening when you consider this was public testimony about Trump’s behavior. It was from an isolated episode too. I truly believe there is an explicit conspiracy underway in America to protect Trump. Roberts is nakedly corrupt.
