The latest: As Republicans step forward, Jan. 6 panel considers additional hearings

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection may continue to hold hearings beyond next week as more Republicans have come forward and are expected to continue coming forward, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The panel has announced a hearing for Tuesday and may hold one Thursday.

Hearings could continue into August and beyond as investigators accumulate more evidence and witness testimony, according to the individuals. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private deliberations.

On Friday, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone appeared for a closed-door, transcribed interview with investigators to discuss his role in trying to prevent former president Donald Trump from trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Cipollone could have answers to crucial questions that could corroborate previous testimony or provide new evidence about what he may have witnessed in the White House in the lead-up to Jan. 6 and on the day of the attack.

No decision has been made on whether the committee will ultimately ask Cipollone to appear in person during a public hearing, according to a person familiar with the matter.

1. This is just the tip of the ice berg, as Mary Trump described things..

The plot thickens and hopefully puts a crimp in TDFG's future plans.

There is no law I am aware of that says he cannot be indicted Federally for crimes connected to January 6th. if a candidate for office, etc. Afterall, he was impeached a 2nd time for this particular event.

2. I think there will be a tipping point ...

... where people will realize it's better to speak out than continue to protect him. As more and more of them come forward, I think they will see there is safety in numbers.

Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony may have been that tipping point. It sure sounds like a lot of people are coming forward now.

3. Candidacy does not protect him from the law.

He had better be indicted in more than one crime. If he slides, that's it, we no longer will have anything relative to what we perceived.

4. I believe they all realize Trump is in it for himself

No reflected glory. No share of the half million in grifted donations. Trump's promises are lies, and the smarter folk are getting out before they get sucked in deeper.
