I am looking forward to the hearings next week. The Jan. 6 committee has the testimony of a number of staffers who were in the room where it happened and their testimony could be as powerful as Dean's testimony.

The Washington Post reported late last month that Hutchinson had told the committee that Meadows remarked to others that Trump indicated support for hanging his vice president after rioters who stormed the Capitol on that day started chanting, Hang Mike Pence!
Cassidy Hutchinson might turn out to be the next John Dean, Eisen added, referring to the former presidential counsel who accused President Richard M. Nixon of having direct involvement in the Watergate scandal to Senate investigators and federal prosecutors.
Hutchinson is likely to testify live before the committee, complemented by video footage of previous interviews before investigators, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The Jan. 6 committee does not need Meadow's testimony directly when his top aide and others can testify
I am also looking forward to Michael Luttig's testimony. Luttig is former judge and is well respected

"Someone who has names and proof of representatives and senators "and friends of the court" deeply involved in the attack and/or elector-stuffing plans."

Former Meadows Aide Says Lauren Boebert Was Involved in Early Planning of January 6th
BY TARA DUBLIN
APRIL 27, 2022
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former assistant to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, identified Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) as one of a small group of Republican lawmakers who met with Meadows as early as the last week of November 2020 to raise the idea of former Vice President Mike Pence intervening to prevent the certification of election results by Congress on January 6, 2021. The ensuing assault on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters that day led to the deaths of five people and Trumps eventual second impeachment trial.
Hutchinson specifically named Boebert in her testimony before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol in February. Portions of her testimony were made public this week as part of a legal filing made by lawyers for the committee in a lawsuit brought against it by Meadows in an effort to block several subpoenas.
Boebert has been scrutinized for giving tours of the Capitol to a large group of people on the day prior to the insurrection, and for sending tweets that some characterized as relaying intel about House Speaker Nancy Pelosis location during the attack. On the morning of January 6th, she tweeted, Today is 1776.
Under questioning, Hutchinson recalled several meetings in the weeks after Thanksgiving in which campaign officials and a few members of Congress discussed the possibility of Pence aiding an effort to overturn the election results on January 6th. Mr. Scott Perry, Mr. Jim Jordan Ms. Marjorie Taylor Greene. and Lauren Boebert are the four members that immediately jump out to me, Hutchinson said.
