The Jan. 6 committee has now held half a dozen hearings and are promising at least two more some time this month.
The next, announced Monday, is scheduled for July 12 at 10 a.m. ET. It will focus on the rioters and mob who stormed the Capitol, Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democratic committee member, recently said, and it'll look at far-right groups such as the Proud Boys and the "efforts to assemble" them on Jan. 6, such as providing financing.
Given the pause this week, we figured it's a good time to reflect on what we've learned so far. Here are five takeaways:
1. For Trump, the crowd was armed, dangerous – and welcome.
The former president knew the crowd had weapons, knew of the intelligence that violence could come on Jan. 6, but according to a White House aide, he didn't care.
Why?
"They're not here to hurt me," he said, per Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. "Take the effing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here."
Hutchinson said Trump was "furious" that people who were armed on Jan. 6 were deterred by metal detectors, or magnetometers, and thereby making his crowd appear smaller."...

No firearms were recovered from anyone in the crowd. None.
The Capitol Police had requested help prior to the even due to intelligence that the crowd was going to be bigger than his guys could handle, but the DC Mayor and Pelosi's SoA didn't want the "optics" of having the National Guard there.
Everything Hutchinson said is hearsay. She has no firsthand knowledge of any of it.

I wonder if they're going to call anyone who has anything to say that doesn't fit the leftist narrative?
I'll be holding my breath in anticipation.
