  1.  @cdani9972  You make a good point. Cippollone took the oath to uphold the Constitution, and part of that duty is to protect the principle of Executive Privilege. Even if a court has ruled that there is probable cause to pierce that shield, a WhiteHouse Counsel’s duty is to maintain as much of that privilege as he can on any matters outside the investigation. The committee investigators will have to ask very specific questions with regard to matters directly involving Trump, counsel he gave Trump, and things that Trump asked or told him. They probably can’t ask, for example, for him to go through any particular day and what he did and who did he talk to on that day. They’ll have to ask specifically, “Did you have a meeting with so-and-so?” So I don’t think this is a fishing expedition. I think the committee has a good idea of what questions to ask, and how to ask them. I don’t think he’s a hostile witness, just a witness that isn’t free to volunteer information or answer certain questions. He is constitutionally constrained. In fact, I think the committee has been trying to portray him sympathetically (so as not to alienate him?). Here is what I think we will get: More on the day of January 6th and the part he played in keeping Trump from going to the Capitol. More on the pardons and his interactions with Kushner. Interactions with Mark Meadows. The attempt to replace Rosen with a new AG. (I’m not sure how much info he can divulge on Meadows and Kushner, given his constitutional constraints.)
