Hmm. He'll fight it, I presume, just like the other losers.
He might not.
These guys are gonna go down.
He has an off ramp here.
You'd think. The classic method of a hearing, which to have the small fry testify so they can implicate the bigger fry in the hope that they will testify and incriminate the big fish, has worked in the past. But the Trump group is one tough nut to crack, PP. I'm sure some of these folks still believe they have enough supporters to carry the mid-terms and 2024 Presidency, and that their careers are best served sticking to lies.

They've been mighty light on him so far. Most of the testimony about him has been him objecting to various schemes. He'd also be very credible and isolate the scheme to the most political/MAGA of the cast of characters. They also puffed up Elaine Chao (McConnell) and (billionaire) Betsy DeVos. Liz is making a play. Once the primaries are over then Trump has no benefit other than as a fundraiser, which is not something he does for other people.
Watch Laura Ingraham for tea leaves. I hate this timeline.
So you're afraid that since the last primaries are in September, the Jan 6th committee won't really get going with the major witnesses until then? And at that point, they might be under pressure not to continue because it would be too close to the mid-terms?

Trump has said the same. McEnany has said the same. Others also. It isn’t disputed. The only dispute is over details of whatever story Engel told Ornato and how Ornato told Engel’s story to Hutchinson.
Watch the whole 2 hours of the hearing. It’s not about the steering wheel.
And the fact that the trumpers can only talk about the steering wheel must mean they don't want to touch the rest of it. She never even said he grabbed the wheel. She just said that she was told that story.
Not to be pedantic but she said he reached for the wheel, not that he grabbed it. But, I agree it’s not the salient point. His enraged state of mind is, which has been well known for quite some time. The steering wheel vignette has caught everyone’s attention because it’s so easy to imagine him doing it.

She's a Trumper who got fired. Who on earth would hire her?
She’ll get hired after she finished her book. I wouldn’t worry about her.
