According to the woman, who had been riding in the SUV's passenger seat, Del. Matt Fariss (R-Campbell County) was driving "excessively fast" on Thursday afternoon when a tire blew out, and police said he became furious while trying to change the tire, reported Cardinal News.
“During [the] tire change he became irate with a son whom he called to come help, but [the] son did not have a jack,” the woman told investigators, according to an affidavit. “Then he became furious but his son didn’t show up. His mood went dark and he was being angry and abusive.”
The woman said she got out the vehicle and began walking toward a cousin's house nearby, and Fariss "was screaming" at her to get back into the SUV, but she "said a firm ‘no’ and kept walking."
Fariss then turned sharply toward the woman as she walked and struck her with the SUV, knocking her to the ground and sending her sunglasses flying.
"[You] should have gotten into the godd*mn car," Fariss said, according to the woman.

88 percent "no" in Johnson County with more than half the vote in. This is very good news.

Just wondering whether the AG is steering a leakproof ship and that they're already hearing from Marc Short and others about what Trump was doing on the days preceding and including January 6. It would be so cool to watch Trump's face at the moment he finds out that a half dozen or more people who were in the room have already testified to the DOJ.
Grand Jury and/or DOJ prosecutors already listening to Pence's aides?

Some VERY good news
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/31/politics/pence-marc-short-january-6-committee/index.html
Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, quietly testified before the House select committee investigating January 6 last week in response to a subpoena, sources tell CNN, in the most significant sign to date that Pence's team is cooperating with the probe.
Short, who was with Pence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and participated in a critical White House meeting on January 4, 2021, is seen as a potentially crucial witness in the committee's investigation as the panel pieces together the pressure campaign then-President Donald Trump and his allies waged to try to convince Pence not to certify the presidential election.
Former aide on whether Pence will speak to Jan. 6 committee
Short testified before the select committee in person last Wednesday in a lengthy session, according to a source familiar with the matter. Short had previously supplied a limited number of documents that were subpoenaed by the committee, according to one source, including a memo from Trump aide Johnny McEntee comparing Trump to Thomas Jefferson. It's also customary that witnesses hand over more documents when they testify, according to another source familiar with the matter.
Short's testimony, obtained after months of discussions between his attorney Emmet Flood and lawyers on the committee -- as well as a subpoena -- comes as the panel still does not know whether Pence himself will testify.

The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has been having conversations with former Attorney General William Barr, the committee's chairman said Sunday.
"To be honest with you, we've had conversations with the former attorney general already," Rep. Bennie Thompson told CBS' Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation" when asked if the committee would go to Barr. "We've talked to Department of Defense individuals. We are concerned that our military was part of this big lie on promoting that the election was false."
The Mississippi Democrat continued, "So, if you are using the military, to potentially seize these voting machines, even though it's a discussion, the public needs to know, we've never had that before."
Thompson's remarks came in response to a question regarding text of a draft executive order that had been presented to then-President Donald Trump in December of 2020 to have the secretary of defense seize voting machines in battleground states.
Barr, who was a staunch defender of Trump during his tenure at the Department of Justice and pushed the administration's "law and order" message, resigned in December 2020 after rebuking the then-President's false claims about widespread election fraud.
