Yes the talking heads on MSNBC are talking about her. For people who have watched the hearings so far, this is the young woman who testified about the different GOP members who asked Trump for pardons after J6. She said she ‘heard’ Greene asked for a pardon, and of course Greene lit into her, saying she never did. I know this is a personal grudge but if we could find a way to out Greene as the monster she is in a way that makes her lose her re-election bid this fall I would be eternally grateful - please and thank you.

Sounds like she got rid of her Trump world attorney. Once you get out of the cult, you want to speak out. From the link: Hutchinson's agreement to testify publicly comes after months of negotiations between the committee and her counsel, sources said. Hutchinson hired a new attorney, Jody Hunt, earlier this month to represent her as the public Jan. 6 hearings began.

This brought to mind: In June 1973, Dean testified before Congress that Nixon knew about the Watergate cover-up. Not only that, Dean said he suspected there was taped evidence—and he was right. link She will need to bring more than just her word.

I wonder if they found something substantial in the things the Feds obtained from Jeffery Clark's residence last Wednesday?

Raw Story is reporting the film crew following Trump around May have documented Don Jr and Eric Trump discussed a plan to overturn the election more than 3 months before Jan 6.
It was a conversation from Trump Hotel on the night of the first debate. Even before the election, they were figuring out how to overturn it if it didn’t go the way they wanted.

I hope you're all watching the testimony today. I second the WOW! I'm imagining Trump reaching for the throat of his head of security. Frankly, learning the toddler-in-chief would throw china & food in the dining room isn't THAT surprising, but it does show he's got a nasty temper.

"I overheard the President say something to the effect of 'I don't F-ing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the F-ing mags away. Let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in, take the F-ing mags away." link Added to clarify "mags": Trump, in expletive-laden language, urged that people with weapons -- guns, knives and the like -- be let through the magnetometers before his speech to the "Stop the Steal" rally. His goal? Ensure that the photographs and video of the event showed a packed crowd all listening to him. "They're not here to hurt me," Trump reportedly told people. link

Surprised? Reacting in real time to the damning testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, former President Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday he "hardly know(s)" Hutchinson, and personally rejected a request she made to join his post-presidency staff at Mar-a-Lago.
"When she requested to go with certain others of my team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down," Trump said on Truth Social during Hutchinson's live testimony to the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol.
Trump attempted to cast Hutchinson's testimony on Tuesday as revenge, claiming she was "very upset and angry that I didn't want her" at his Palm Beach residence.

Trump intended to go the Capitol and pushed to do so until the last minute link It is a shame he wasn't there to lead the invasion.

link If he'd just keep his mouth shut, his supporters wouldn't even know there were hearings. Fox News had no coverage this morning, not one mention. Of course, keeping his mouth shut has never been one of his strong suits.

What can we say. We knew this. I guess it is really coming out now that the entire Republican Party was complicit, but it is questionable if we can stop the momentum they have built up. We just have to wait and see what happens next.

surprised there are not more posts about yesterday on this thread. This was the biggest concern for some talking heads after yesterday's hearings: ‘Trump World’ Witness-Tampering Accusations Get Jan. 6 Panel’s Attention
The House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol is considering presenting evidence to the Justice Department about potential witness-tampering by allies of former President Donald Trump, Chairman Bennie Thompson said after a blockbuster hearing Tuesday. The Mississippi Democrat said the committee is weighing potential criminal referrals on the alleged attempts to influence witnesses called before the panel “along with a lot of other things.” “I think that most Americans know that influencing witnesses to testify falsely raises concerns,” said Vice Chair Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, at the end of the committee’s hearing. To illustrate the accusation, the committee displayed blurbs of testimony from two witnesses who weren’t identified by the panel. “What they said to me is, as long as I continue to be a team player, they know that I’m on the team. I’m doing the right thing,” the committee quoted one witness as saying. “I’m protecting who I need to protect, you know I’ll continue to stay in the good graces in Trump World.” That person also recalled being reminded several times to keep in mind that Trump reads transcripts. A second witness told the committee that a person -- who also wasn’t identified -- advised that, “He wants me to let you know that he is thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal, and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.” Thompson said his committee is prepared to work with the Justice Department “as cooperatively as possible.” “We have been tasked with the responsibility of looking at the facts and the circumstances around Jan. 6. And that’s what we are doing,” Thompson said. “In that process, I’m sure there will be opportunities for us to talk and eventually share a lot of the information that we’ve uncovered.” ‘Trump World’ Witness-Tampering Accusations Get Jan. 6 Panel’s Attention
