Why haven't the secret service agents involved strongly refuted her testimony under oath yet? They've had a week already - what's holding them back?

One of them did, to which Cheney asked them to come forward and testify under oath. And they've never been heard from again.
The first 60 seconds of that Fox thing is so, . . . well, . . . Trump. First words out of his mouth . . . " some low level junior . . . ". So blatantly wrong.

Part of that is almost worth a follow up, because she is a low level junior nothing. In ordinary times there would be a question around how the hell were people with so little in the way of qualifications be getting those jobs, that would have been the 'scandal'

Which is the weird part as that's a fairly big job, but they give it to a kid just out of college who previously worked as an intern for them, and things shouldn't be so amateur was my thought there. So she was/is something of a nobody given her lack of experience and yet in all the madness that's barely anything one would have time to ponder on

But it was a theme for Trumps' WH staff. Just take a look across the board. Most of them young white females. No idea how he and his minions employment screening went, but it all came down to the same type. Reading and listening to the Jan 6 committee is proving quite enlightening to me.

A pile of dogshit, moulded into human form and clad in a suit, also known as Joe Manchin, has again delivered for his owners by stating he won't back his own party's efforts to support more funding for climate action, and also any higher taxes on the rich or on corporations
Effectively one man rules American legislation right now, and as ever, it's a man who gives not a fuck for anything but temporarily slaking his insatiable hunger for money from any source, no matter how shitty, in return for his dog like obedience to their requirements.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread, but seems a reasonable place to put it. .
Prisoners are forced to work 40 hours a week for peanuts in profit making prisons. Then the state govt guarantees a 90% occupancy rate and so will pay the private prison company for any empty beds.
This economic model is essentially slavery combined with public subsidy of private enterprise.

It now seems that the Secret Service deleted an unknown number of texts between agents on 5~6 January 2020, which would probably have shed a lot of light on what was going on inside the Capitol that day.
Sounds a lot like the missing 18.5 minutes in the White House tapes related to Watergate.

In certain sectors there’s no competition because prison labour has undercut any private industry so much. Something like 90% of the number plates in the USA are made in prisons.

The Georgia phone calls were PERFECT. Many people and lawyers, on both sides, were knowingly on the one call, I assumed the call was taped, there were Zero complaints or angry “how dare you” charges made during the call, and no “hang ups” by anyone aggrieved or insulted at what was said. THEY WERE PERFECT CALLS. I was just doing my job as President, and seeking Fairness and the Truth. The Election was Rigged and Stolen!

Someone appears to have put some leverage on Joe Manchin to get him to temporarily co-operate with his own Party on the Inflation Reduction Act. Presumably a loss of prestige and influence in the corridors of power was on the table because as greedy as he is, it wouldn't be about money.

Pretty much any business in NJ if you can eliminate property, sales and income tax.
Though I don't know quite where the Trump's would stand claiming it's a cemetery business

Trump and family used her death as a reason not to testify...So he went and did some rallies....
Under NJ law, if a family member is buried on a property, that property can't be seized...
How much lower can they go?..

She could hardly do anything else, & the Chinese knew damn well that once they made a stink, there wasn't a chance of her not visiting.
Expect the 7th fleet to start make regular visits to Taiwan in future. Given the performance of Russian weapons systems, I'd say the sight of an AEGIS cruiser parked alongside the dock in Taiwan would cramp their plans.

The Unselect Committee of Political Thugs has not devoted one hour to the massive Election Fraud and Irregularities that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election, the reason that hundreds of thousands of people went to Washington on January 6th. When will they start? The Unselects also refuse to look at why Crazy Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of D.C. turned down from 10-20,000 troops. Why is this, I wonder?

Can you justify your assertion of 'bullshit'?
People present in his office when Trump made the offer have confirmed it. So on what basis do you make your statement?
Now of course if Pelosi's correspondence was made public we would know for sure, wouldn't we?
But anything related to Pelosi is strictly off of bounds. Given that security of the Capitol is her brief, and that the whole point is that on the day in question the Capitol was breached, then how do you justify that the Jan 6 Committee, which claimed to seek the truth behind the events, completely ignored disclosure of any security offers given to Pelosi?

Trump’s own Secretary for Defence when under oath and not on Fox.
I
n the audio clip, a questioner asks Miller whether there is “any accuracy” to Meadows’s statement. Miller’s reply:
Not from my perspective. I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature. So, I was surprised by seeing that publicly . . . we obviously had plans for activating more folks, but that was not anything more than contingency planning. There was no official message traffic or anything of that nature.
The questioner follows up: “Just so we’re clear, you did not have 10,000 troops, quote ‘to be on the ready’ . . . prior to January 6th?”
Miller: “A non-military person probably could have some sort of weird interpretation, but no, to answer your question, that was not part of my plan or the Department of Defense’s plan.”
Questioner: “To be crystal clear, there was no direct order from President Trump to put 10,000 troops ‘to be on the ready’ for January 6th, correct?”
Miller: “That’s correct. There was no direct—there was no order from the president.”
