26/ All this said, we *do* have *some* idea of *some* things the Committee wants her to speak on. CNN reported last night that Hutchinson has testimony about—among many other things—Rudy Giuliani and Meadows discussing the coup plot (the "Green Bay Sweep") well before January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
25/ There’ll also be much speculation about why the Committee felt it had to conduct this testimony *right now*—rather than waiting until July. Does it have to do with anticipated future actions by DOJ? Is it a response to DOJ letting Meadows off the hook? We can only speculate. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
24/ I would note, fifth, that if you compare Hutchinson to almost any other witness who has testified *live*, she stands in a class of her own: someone who was repeatedly in the physical presence of Donald Trump and his top agent in Washington, Mark Meadows. That’s simply *huge*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
23/ A fourth indication that the Committee is especially invested in Hutchinson is that, per a CNN report, they clearly made her feel she *would* receive a Criminal Contempt referral to DOJ if she did not cooperate. It was this—in part—that caused her to fire her first lawyer. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
22/ ...made a point of the fact that she would be arriving with "guests" (we don’t yet know what that means), put her in protective custody, kept her identity secret, is taking special precautions in the hearing room—it all suggests that this *isn’t* going to be more of the same. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
21/ And remember that the Committee has gone to great lengths to make today happen—it clearly believes it has bombshells to offer even bigger than the *many* it has already offered via video and other testimony. It called a special session, is letting her appear with lawyers... — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
20/ This said, the very fact that the Committee has already repeatedly used Hutchinson’s depos in the past—to great effect—suggests that they want her to talk about one of these *new* lines of inquiry today. Otherwise there would be no purpose in switching over to live testimony. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
19/ A *third* sign that the Committee is very interested in Hutchinson is that she has repeatedly been featured in the hearings so far (via video depo). She was particularly useful in speaking about which GOP House members sought pardons—another new area of interest for the HJ6C. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
18/ So Hutchinson may also have recently been asked by the HJ6C about conversations she overheard at the White House that relate to violence. (Note: we had a report within the last three weeks revealing that Mark Meadows had advance warning that violence was coming on January 6.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
17/ The Committee is also expressing more interest than before in the possibility that the Trumps expected and welcomed violence on January 6—everything from a British filmmaker saying Eric Trump told him inciting violence was "fair game" to Trump approving of Pence being hanged. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
16/ For those who missed it, PROOF just published its third major exclusive report on Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas (🔐). It was published last night and has since gone viral, as it offers critical new details about Ginni Thomas’s role in January 6. https://t.co/qhG0hxGSPI — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
15/ One of the *only* "new" lines of inquiry we know the Committee began pursuing in just the last few weeks—in earnest, at least—is the possibility that Ginni Thomas (a friend and ally of Meadows who was in regular contact with him pre-insurrection) was a leading coup plotter. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
14/ Second, CNN reported last night that within just the last few weeks the Committee opened a "new" line of inquiry with Hutchinson that’s proved incredibly fruitful. This suggests that the Committee just started asking Hutchinson about a *new topic* it recently began pursuing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
13/ First, Hutchinson has met with the Committee *3 times*, suggesting that she may have given the Committee up to 24 hours of testimony (almost certainly less, but either way, a *lot*). There are few if any witnesses who have given so much testimony to the HJ6C. That’s telling. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
12/ So how interested is the House January 6 Committee in Hutchinson’s testimony? Well, the fact that a special session has been called just for her to testify—she’s also bringing several lawyers and guests, the HJ6C says—should give some indication. But we do have a few others. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
11/ This isn’t just scary—it may be a sign of things to come. Anyone seen as a) owing loyalty to Trump, but also b) participating in efforts to hold this career criminal accountable for the first time in his life, will face real repercussions. That includes assassination threats. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
10/ For this reason, the House January 6 Committee announced that it has security concerns regarding Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony. Special measures have been taken for today’s hearing, including clearing the front row of the hearing room for security personnel of various kinds. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
9/ When Hutchinson dropped her Trumpworld lawyer—who’d advised her to not cooperate with Congress and risk imprisonment to aid Trump—the death threats began. Presumably, her dropping the lawyer Trump wanted her to have led to word getting out that she was now seen as a turncoat. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
8/ This was the situation with Hutchinson, as she was formerly represented by a “Trumpworld” lawyer. The other benefit of Trump treating lawyers—including others’ lawyers—as co-conspirators and his personal agents is that he *knows* the *second* a loyal soldier “leaves the fold.” — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
7/ As PROOF readers know, Trump’s modus operandi as a career criminal has been to ensure that anyone who can testify against him is represented by a lawyer he trusts and in some cases one he *shares*. In the past, this allowed him to tamper with federal witnesses with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
6/ Hutchinson had access to a significant percentage of the info Meadows had in his possession on and before January 6, as she shadowed him through much of his daily schedule. Remember that she was (maybe is) an ardent GOP supporter, so Meadows trusted her with sensitive info. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
5/ In the potential prosecution of an ex-president, few if any witnesses could be more important than his chief of staff. Meadows has been made unaccountable to Congress by the actions of the DOJ—inexplicably, I would add—but getting his former senior aide is a major achievement. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
4/ Cassidy Hutchinson was a senior aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows. Meadows was subpoenaed by the House January 6 Committee, partially complied with his subpoena, ceased complying, was referred for Criminal Contempt by Congress, and was excused from a charge by DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@maliprincess They will be — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
3/ The House January 6 Committee hearing today is—as most of you know—a surprise. There wasn’t supposed to be another in June. But the Committee said it had new info requiring a televised hearing with a live witness. We learned last night that the witness is Cassidy Hutchinson. — PolitiTweet.org
