I think the committee knows who tampered with witnesses. This is big.

It's likely some outside third party, not an insider who sent the texts. Maybe even a lawyer, or possibly, a congressional staffer.

While the doj is struggling with a lack of spine when it comes to family and close insiders, they seem willing to charge outsiders and small players.

This may get picked up if the house refers it.

And should be easy to break when they understand they won't get a pardon.

The committee has not overpromised its testimony and evidence and they've been very scrupulous about following through. This mention of witness tampering wouldn't have gone public if they didn't have the goods.

People who have yoked their defense counsel to the former guy's attorneys should take a hard look at Hutchinson's testimony this week and ask themselves if what's best for the former guy is what's best for them. Before they walk into the thresher blades, that is. Because once the former guy decides to sell you out (and he will), you'll find the advice you're getting from your bought-and-paid-for-by-the-former-guy attorney aligns with his interests rather than yours.

Don't like waiting until mid July for another hearing.

It isn't a coincidence that they ended Tuesday's hearing with witness tampering. That's a preview of what's to come. Cheney specifically said she wasn't going to name the individuals when she read the messages Tuesday but be certain she knows exactly who they are.

Roger Stone. This is just the kind of thing that he would do.

She may not be my ideology, but she's a savage for democracy...

could cut deals with.

I agree.

... all they needed to do was look on her phone or her emails.

If other witnesses have shared their phones and emails, probably (I'm sure) there's a pattern to the threats.

Liz Cheney is right to mention it, because now they know they've already been caught.

but the intimidation is stronger if the recipient knows who it’s coming from. So maybe they didn’t try to obfuscate the sender’s identity.

Also, of course, these doofuses are both over-confident and technologically inept, so there’s that.

Will be most interesting to see how this plays out. Great job of foreshadowing by the committee.

When I posted this comment, it hadn't been announced yet.

Even for the 'corrupt persuasion' type.

Next up. Jury Tampering. You know he will.

Could Eastman be the one tampering with witnesses?
