Takeaway #2

A number of you have written in to say about the hearings, "No,  that  wasn't the big deal. This other thing was the big deal!" In almost every case I find myself agreeing with you. What it comes down to is there was just a huge amount of critical new detail in Hutchinson's testimony. And it was a challenge to evaluate the significance of it all in real time or organize it on a rank of significance.

People who claim they are just champing at the bit to testify usually end up refusing to testify. See Also:   CNN's Don Lemon defends questioning Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden's mental fitness: ...

How Hutchinson Converted Skeptics To Thinking Trump Might Be Prosecuted After All

Former President Trump's speech at the Ellipse was many things — low-class, loaded with conspiracy theories, reckless. See Also:   Former aide Cassidy Hutchinson testifies on Jan. 6 warnings, pardon requests, and Trump trying to grab the wheel But to many legal elites, it fell short of incitement. See Also:   CNN's Don Lemon defends questioning Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden's mental fitness: 'It's our job' But after the Jan. 6 Committee hearings — and, specifically, after Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony on Tuesday — that view may be starting to change.
