WASHINGTON -- More witnesses are coming forward with new details on the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot following former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's devastating testimony last week against former President Donald Trump, says a member of a House committee investigating the insurrection.

The panel already has subpoenaed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who investigators remain hopeful will appear Wednesday for a deposition, and said it would also welcome follow-up details from Secret Service members with Trump that day.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., cited Hutchinson's testimony that Trump wanted to join an angry mob of his supporters who marched on Jan. 6, 2021, to the Capitol, where they rioted, as particularly valuable in “inspiring” more people to step forward as the committee gets set for at least two public hearings this month.

“Every day we get new people that come forward and say, ‘Hey, I didn’t think maybe this piece of the story that I knew was important,’" he said Sunday. “There will be way more information and stay tuned.”

1. Part of me wonders if a segment of the GOP/conservatives are seeking to take Trump down

A Few current office holders, but many former Republican office holders, donors and power brokers may have decided it is time to kill the beast known as Trumpism, and so they are encouraging and perhaps paying the legal fees of folks who are now coming forward, in the hopes that the accumulated testimonies will deal Trumpism a death blow, so things can get back to politics as usual.

2. One thing I would like to know; did the Secret Service driver who refused to drive TFG to theCapitol

building, refuse because he was trying to protect the President, or refuse because he was trying to protect the country?

3. Another thing to know, is whether the driver, will hold up his reported trump assault

testimony, versus, engel, ornato, et al.

[speak easy]

4. ' because he was trying to protect the President

or refuse because he was trying to protect the country'. For the Secret Service these two are synonymous.

6. In an ideal world, they WOULD be synanomous. Trump has made our world less than ideal.
