1. Cassidy Hutchinson might turn out to be the next John Dean

I am looking forward to the hearings next week. The Jan. 6 committee has the testimony of a number of staffers who were in the room where it happened and their testimony could be as powerful as Dean's testimony.




https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/04/jan-6-committee-set-make-its-case-public-with-prime-time-hearing/

Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, has sat for multiple depositions with investigators — more than 20 hours — and is expected to play a starring role in the hearings, according to people familiar with the matter. Hutchinson, people familiar with the committee said, has provided extensive information about Meadows’s activities in trying to overturn the election......

The Washington Post reported late last month that Hutchinson had told the committee that Meadows remarked to others that Trump indicated support for hanging his vice president after rioters who stormed the Capitol on that day started chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!”

“Cassidy Hutchinson might turn out to be the next John Dean,” Eisen added, referring to the former presidential counsel who accused President Richard M. Nixon of having direct involvement in the Watergate scandal to Senate investigators and federal prosecutors.

Hutchinson is likely to testify live before the committee, complemented by video footage of previous interviews before investigators, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

The Jan. 6 committee does not need Meadow's testimony directly when his top aide and others can testify

I am also looking forward to Michael Luttig's testimony. Luttig is former judge and is well respected

I'm looking forward to this, too - I just hope that the majority of Americans tune in. Jamie Raskin promises that we'll learn a great deal, called it "explosive" information.

Breaking News is a close second. Especially when the dateline is two+ days old.
