This is a joke - just in case that is not clear.

5. Ugh.

Why, oh why, do people post stuff like that?

I know that it's a fake (as she confirmed* a couple hours later), but people here and elsewhere on the left will take it 100% at face value.

Then, they'll post about it and it'll get 100 recs.

6. That's a good point

On the one hand, you assume folks would know it was a joke having fun with the sense of excited expectation, but on the other hand it is sometimes surprising the sorts of things people mind find plausible.

I hope that’s not the case here.

Another one said that Geraldo Rivera found Trump’s secret vault and they’re going to open it live.

8. Now see, I believe the Rivera story....

...Nah, not really

9. That one is safe, right?

Why did anyone ever take that man seriously?

10. In those days there were a lot of those TV specials about mystery things

I think it kinda ended after the "Alien Autopsy" spectacle

2. Yes. That was reported in the stories about the announcement.

Example:

"to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony."

11. Will it be a bombshell

Or just another piece of evidence.

Im kinda hopeful that it might be significant because it was previously not a scheduled hearing.

7. Yeah

I think this would be evidence that came in after they opened up the door and solicited anything that anyone had and wanted to hand over.

The other clue is that they are sheltering the witness to protect them. I think this would be some witness who requested an SS detail in case something happened. That's what the J6 Committee has been doing, requesting that all remain seated until the Capitol Police have escorted out the Committee members. So, there must be some concern about conduct even among the people watching the hearings.

It could be: Ginnie Thomas, with ties to Eastman's phone. They would probably be inclined to provide her with protection because of her connection to the Court. I really doubt that she would talk without pressure on her, but you never know. She has a lot of explaining to do. Maybe she thinks it will all go away if she testifies under oath.

I wonder what the evidence is that caused them to slip in an extra hearing between the last one and whatever part of the story that they have planned for next up. It's something we need to know to make the next part coherent. They are presenting these hearings like little chapters in a book or story.

I don't think it's Eastman. Maybe some Trump family member. I don't think that it is the documentary guy. It's someone who thinks they need special protection, otherwise they won't testify. Maybe it is someone who is now convicted, about to be convicted, and wants to come clean for leniency.

One thing is for sure: no matter what they say, it will not be near enough to satisfy the desire to indict Trump and haul his ass to jail. So, I'm just going to get my popcorn out, a cup of coffee, and watch. 10 am ET, so 7 am my time.
