Legally thinking about #January6thHearing - so obviously this Committee has done a herculean job (over 1,000 witnesses have been interviewed in past 14 months) but the criminal investigation is at Dept of Justice and that is gargantuan. FAR FAR larger investigation than this

So to be clear, the DOJ investigation will have interviewed at least 90% of the people who spoke to Jan 6th Committee but DOJ will have interviewed many TIMES MORE people than this committee, and probably have 3x to 5x maybe 10x more evidence than this committee has seen

But almost all that this Committee has shown us, DOJ already had, and will get all of it of course, and DOJ has much more that will only be revealed once the criminals are brought to court.

That said, 3 fascinating details about the criminal investigation struck me from today

First is the revellation that some US Secret Service staffers have suddenly gotten lawyers. It may even mean, they have CHANGED attorneys (if once had Trump paid lawyers & now changed, that suggests a flip against Trump). In any case USSS side of this mess means more crimes

Secondly I was struck by the 'adult supervision' element, of how organized it was. We need Trump to do something, get Ivanka here. And we need Jared. So the level of how Trump's nearest staff would try to be the adults and if frustrated, brought in 'mom and dad' to control Trump.

And last I was liking the phone record details. So they know Giuliani's phone calls by length of call. This is what Jan 6th Cttee knows

Remember Rudy was under FBI wiretap (authorized by Bill Barr, who forgot to tell his boss Trump about it). So DOJ knows what Trump TOLD Rudy
