    Secret Service loyalists to Donald Trump are pushing back against Cassidy Hutchinson's second-hand report of Trump lunging in the SUV when told he could not go to the Capitol.

Back in 2018, both Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump were big fans of DOJ IG investigating phones for evidence that DOJ had been politicized. Chances are they're going to be less enthusiastic now that the subjects of the investigation are John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark.

The shocking and emotional part of the January 6 Committee hearing on Trump's pressure on states was the stories that targets of Trump's bullying told, including Shaye Moss' description of how Rudy Giuliani claimed a ginger mint her mom had handed her was instead a thumb drive used to steal the election. But the details in the hearing go a long way to substantiating a conspiracy to obstruct the vote certification.
