is the witness who vice chair liz cheney name checked at the end of one of those recent investigative hearings, which was itself a powerful move because there s rangling that goes on over time, so tub lick publicly calling out a witness is a last resort, but that s what congresswoman liz cheney did to name and shame a trump white house lawyer who she said was not fully cooperating at the time. you probably heard his name, pat cipollone. he had talked to the committee once, so he was not total by defying them like steve bannon or peter navarro. he didn t get to the point of recommending a contempt citation but at the same time he had not agreed to testify under oath. so cheney led that public charge, which we then learned was the prelude to a subpoena, and this all worked, and fast. now cipollone will be testifying tomorrow under oath on camera in the main format the committees use because you ve probably seen clips of the video depositions as they explore issues and build u

watergate affair. ly do everything in my power to ensure that the guilty are brought to justice and that such abuses are purged from our political processes in the years to come, long after i have left this office. i looked at my own calendar this morning as i was working on this speech. it showed exactly 1,361 days remaining in my term. i want these to be the best days in america s history. god bless america. and god bless each and every one of you. stwrcentral to the problems d by president nixon is the tapes and their history. it all began suddenly when an obscure white house official named alexander butterfield appeared as a surprise witness before the senate watergate committee. are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the oval office of the president? i was aware of listening devices, yes, sir. when i got the confirmation that there was a taping system, i was elated. they would tell much more than i would remember in those conversations.
everywhere. and, alexander butterfield we, 49 years later, is going to join us here tonight. no way, really? to talk about what it is really like to be that star witness in that kind of presidential investigative hearing, in what is now the cassidy hutchinson role, and what we ve seen. he was subpoenaed, just like she was subpoenaed, and it was obviously, it s a unique experience, and a unique perspective to get on what we are watching, and what we will be watching tomorrow. i can t believe i went all day-to-day without knowing the butterfield will be on the show tonight. how come nobody came in and rang my bell about this. you are supposed to know immediately about this, these are not supposed to take you by surprise, i don t know what happened at the system. but it s really exciting, and we do have to reach back that 50 years, for people who actually have lived through things like this. yes, exactly right. and, arguably, what we ve learned from the january 6th com
