I'm glad I decided to run errands today. Tuesday is free all day.

My bet is that it has to do with the documentary footage they just obtained. But who knows?

After foreshadowing a two-week break, seems significant they would drop a sudden hearing. Must be time sensitive.

The documentary filmmaker who turned over evidence to the J6 Committee says Eric Trump told him that the danger of Trump’s rhetoric about the election resulting in violence on J6 was “fair game” because “the election was stolen.”
Paywall, although there's a fun clip of Eric on Hannity whining about Biden's bike ride and oh, my father would be busy doing all kinds of more important stuff than riding a bike. Naturally, Hannity doesn't fact check that with how often did your father golf?

Not necessarily, could be something very embarrassing to the pubs that they'll have to face their constituents about over the July 4th break.

Deadline WH right now, Jonathan Karl said it's not going to be Mike Pence or Pat Cippilone (sp?).
Also said that staff and committee members were told to go dark and not talk to any reporters today.
Can't wait

Maybe this is MAGA Mo Brooks. He did say he wanted to testify in public.

John Eastman searched and had phone seized by federal agents last week, he says
The FBI seized the phone of former President Donald Trump's election attorney John Eastman last week, according to a new court filing from the lawyer.
Eastman disclosed the search and seizure in federal court in a lawsuit that he filed in New Mexico on Monday, calling it improper.
About six federal investigators approached the right-wing lawyer in New Mexico when he was exiting a restaurant after dinner with his wife and a friend, according to the court filings. Agents were able to get access to Eastman's email accounts on his iPhone 12 Pro, the filings said.
Eastman is the latest person whose communications have become part of extensive Justice Department investigations related to January 6.
Eastman contends the agents "forced" him to unlock his phone. A seizure warrant document included in Eastman's filing noted any electronic devices agents seized were to be sent to Washington, DC, or the Justice Department inspector general's forensic lab in northern Virginia.
I saw that yesterday and my first thoughts were, dumb, rocks, bag of hammers, etc.
That's just unbelievable. But many of the other comments by Trumpers on the full video were just as stupid.

2. According to the Eastman search warrant, the FBI agents who executed the search warrant were doing so for the DOJ Office of Inspector General.
And further, the specific OIG office appears to be the CIO office (Cyber Investigations Office).
Yeah, and I read DFO forgot to get editing rights (or something that gave him control over the film). I guess he was distracted with coup-ing. (I know, it's not a word.)

They say the reason for the short notice is they are concerned about the witness security.
???
They afraid someone put out a hit on Cassidy Hutchinson?
And here I thought here I thought Gordon Liddy was dead.

That's interesting. I wonder what they did?

Maybe offer free 6X6 accommodation in a hole somewhere for contempt if he didn't?

Don’t know what her source was, but last night Rachel said they held the phone up to his face to unlock it.

It takes a special kind of weenie to obey the FBI when they ask you to unlock your phone and then complain they "forced" you. Now, if they threatened him, specify the threat. Were they going to shoot his wife right in front of him if he didn't unlock the phone?
