It’s the question we’ve all been asking: what’s going on with Merrick Garland?
“The committee is laying out such a trail of breadcrumbs here that it’s almost impossible, even for Merrick Garland – cautious though he is – for him to not follow up on this,” @brianfallon says.

Gen. Mike Flynn had to plead the 5th when asked if he backs a peaceful transfer of power.
“Imagine thinking you could be somehow incriminated...because you pretended to believe in the most basic principles of democracy,” @michelleinbklyn says. "It's pretty clear who [he] is."

.@RinainDC: "One thing we learned from Cassidy’s testimony is how fragile democracy is, and how it takes good, principled people to stop our most evil actors from doing what could really not just hurt us individually, but the country as a whole.”

Unsurprisingly, there’s been GOP pushback against Cassidy Hutchinson after her jaw-dropping testimony at Tuesday’s January 6th hearing. But there’s a lot the former White House staffer saw and heard firsthand from Trump and his inner circle that’s too damning to ignore. Watch:

Wherever we look in America, our democracy is under attack. And day after day, we keep learning just how close we came to losing it entirely on January 6th, 2021.
So, as @mehdirhasan says, “What are the Democrats going to do about it, and where, oh where is Merrick Garland?”

Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony gave an insider’s view into Trump's actions around 1/6. How did it take this long for this evidence to come to light — and will it change any minds?

"The reality is that given the avalanche of evidence against Trump that the nation has seen at these hearings, Garland must charge Trump for his apparent crimes or risk undermining the very institutions he so desperately wants to protect."

“Had any members of Congress been reached by this dangerous mob, their blood would’ve been on [Meadows'] hands just as much as Donald Trump or Rudy Giuliani’s or John Eastman’s.” — @kurtbardella
Tuesday's 1/6 hearing provided damning evidence against Trump. But, @kurtbardella warns, we can't forget Mark Meadows, "one of the primary villains in this saga."
"He knew that violence was headed toward the Capitol,” he tells @mehdirhasan, “and he didn’t give a crap about it.”

Today’s explosive 1/6 hearing included video testimony of Gen. Mike Flynn pleading the fifth when asked whether he believed in a peaceful transfer of power.

Donald Trump lunged for the steering wheel and his Secret Service agent when told he wasn't being taken to the Capitol on 1/6, as a mob of his armed supporters stormed the building.
It doesn't get much more explosive than that, @mehdirhasan says:
Bombshell testimony from 25-year-old Cassidy Hutchinson provided a shocking insider’s look at what happened inside the White House on 1/6.
“I’ll be honest with you,” @mehdirhasan says. “I’m not sure I’ve ever heard testimony like that before.” Watch:

Hutchinson says Donald Trump knew that supporters had weapons at his Jan. 6 rally, describing a conversation she heard in which Trump said, "something to the effect of, 'they’re not here to hurt me...Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol after the rally's over.'"

“We know that Donald Trump has skirted prison his entire adult life. And this very well may just be the time that so many of his crimes actually come and catch up with him,” @Dr_CMGreer tells @mehdirhasan ahead of today's surprise 1/6 hearing. “It remains to be seen, though.”

"We're moving up from the people who invaded the Capitol to the people who planned and helped them get there," @JillWineBanks says. "Those are only getting us closer and closer to the person who directed them."
Bringing charges against a former president is a high bar — but “there is no reason why a former president cannot be indicted and convicted,” @JillWineBanks says. Hear her explain to @mehdirhasan why “we might have a really strong case”:

Today’s confirmed 1/6 hearing witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, has parted ways with her Trump-linked lawyer to hire a new one.
“Whenever witnesses change lawyers, typically we see them divulge information,” @kurtbardella says. “That could be a good indication of what’s to come.”
