Maybe the same call simultaneously recorded at both ends by documentarians.

Anything short of having an irrefutable bombshell on Trump himself, and I’ll be convinced Democrats aren’t good enough at politics to deserve to win, and seriously wonder if they are that bad on purpose.
I mean why the fuck would we interrupt the coverage of the SC mess unless it was that big?
Even then, can’t wait a week?

When this is made into a musical, there should be a big number with Navarro (“they put me in handcuffs, they put me in a cell”), Clark (“they made me stand outdoors in my PJs”), and Eastman (“they grabbed my phone, shoved it in front of my face”) telling each other and Tucker Carlson about their ordeals.

She was probably being threatened by Trump world.
ETA -
So, it’s Cassidy Hutchison. As we know the threats against those who speak out are very real. And Trump World can be extraordinarily vicious to women even w casual smears. She deserves all our support as she comes forward to testify today.

Again, I remain impressed with the younger Trump staffers who comes forward and have everything to lose which remains in stark contrast to older, more established people at the end of their careers who had an obligation to do so much more than monitor their 401k

WaPo update:
Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Mark Meadows when he was White House chief of staff in the Trump administration, is expected to testify Tuesday at the latest hearing by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Hutchinson had frequent access to Meadows and President Donald Trump in the days before and after the attack on the U.S. Capitol and previously provided hours of closed-door testimony to the panel.
…
The news was so closely guarded that even some senior committee staff and aides to lawmakers were kept out of the loop as of Monday afternoon. Three people familiar with the investigation said that the secrecy was in part due to credible security threats to a witness.
To be clear, the news of today’s hearing was closely guarded. Not necessarily Hutchison who is the target of threats.

She must have The Goods.

To be clear, this paragraph was farther down in the article. It may not be Hutchison who is the target.
That didn’t post the first time, but want to emphasize that.

Wow. That makes me wish no one had told us

They might want to do this quickly because the witness is at risk of falling out a 5th floor window. Or for any number of reasons other than to control your news feed

I see now that it was already posted. Happens a lot here.
I also hope there’s another witness.

YES … horrifically ignorant - and contemptible for an actual “MD” - a urologist who attended medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill, served as chief of staff of Vidant Medical Center - so consumed by his zealotry that he uncouples from reality and just spews lies
just adding more detail to make this crystal clear
United States Representative Greg Murphy,
a Republican who represents North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District

will be fascinating to learn what turns out to be “the goods”
I suspect that what would be ideal would be if she can recount names, dates, and topics - and instructions given - in a way that can be unquestioningly verified / corroborated… sort of like the time long ago when a witness testified
"Oh there are these tape recordings - everything was tape recorded - every single meeting - everything that was said "
(but …It could get sticky if she some how had her very own copies of documents / recordings)

I doubt there would be tapes, unless Alex Holder was around for any of it. Hmmm.

It is always a bit of a disappointment, because it isn’t the live-wire news we all would like…
But take a look at Pluto.tv
They have a bunch of news channels including a CNN and MSNBC which plays packaged segments and replays of Lawrence, Maddow, etc. It is CURRENT, just not live. I believe Pluto has a deal with Paramount/CBS so it is heavy in that regard. There are feeds of local CBS news from major markets also.
So there will be a replay/repackage of todays top news, then rebroadcasts of Maddow, Lawrence, etc. and I wouldn’t doubt the replay of the hearings is included also. Absolutely FREE.
They also have dedicated channels for Perry Mason, Rifftrax, MST3K, Gunsmoke, Julia Childs, Science, History, Mary Tyler Moore, Outdoors, News, etc. Lots of ads, but the content is good enough to warrant it…and it is FREE
There is a Pluto.tv website, but it is also add-able as a channel on ROKU, or FireStick, etc.

My wife is able to access the hearings on MSNBC once they begin. Access continues with the after show.

If you’re looking for a free way to get MSNBC coverage, they do offer a lot of their stuff as podcasts. It’s not live and can take up to a day, but it’s a free way to get the headliners’ shows and the J6 wrap-up if you’re willing to wait a little.
what time are the hearings today?
