The steering wheel story is similar to the Russian pee tape in the Trump-Russia scandal.

[Tommy Carcetti]

It's splashy, it's sensational, it's outrageous, and knowing what we know about Trump, it's entirely and completely believable.

Did it actually happen or not? That still remains to be determined.

However, despite the fact it stands out, it's just a small part of the mosaic of the overall sordid greater story at hand.

1. I still want to know whether the pee tapes were real,

and if so, what happened to them.

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. I do too.

And no, although it hasn't been "bunked" yet, nor has it been debunked.

[wryter2000]

2. Far scarier

He wanted to lead heavily armed insurrectionists to the capitol. Caesar crossing the Rubicon. He was going to take over the government.

3. The ketchup story is nice and red too

Maybe it's Russian red, GOP red, or blood red, who knows

[RockRaven]

4. It's a distraction, and one which is easier to discredit than the serious undisputed misdeeds.

Don't get sucked into convos/arguments about it.

[emulatorloo]

6. Worse is that he wanted the metal detectors removed so his armed hit squad wouldn't have their

guns confiscated.

That’s what his lying apologists are trying to distract from.

7. The witness had no reason lie...nor did those who told her at the time...now they released

a statement...which is meaningless. Put them under oath and see if they stick to their lies...they would be worried that someone knows the truth. And the TFG did not dispute it initially either.

[emulatorloo]

8. Indeed. The Trump apologists who are attempting to discredit the witness who testified under oath

have plenty of reasons to lie

[Me.]

10. Exactly

and people are coming out saying the guy who called her a liar is a big liar and a fg enabler. One woman said he told her something, he lied and said he didn't but six other people heard him. I bet the J6 has this covered

[onecaliberal]

9. I doubt the J6 committee would have put it out there without verification. They already talked to

The SS.

11. Release the video or audio from inside Trump's Suburban.

Video cams are probably inside the presidential vehicles. And every agent on duty wears a device to communicate with and listen to other Secret Service personnel. Police radio chatter was recorded that day; we heard the DC cops talking about armed men in the crowd, and the Capitol Police calling for help as they were being attacked. I suspect someone at the Secret Service has those recordings.

[unc70]

12. Likely video outside Suburban

The Committee teased a bit of video showing the vehicle pulling away. Trump is visible inside. I'm sure there are other clearer videos from other angles. I think it likely that J6 has video of the incident. That would be sweet.

[NightWatcher]

13. Don't let ketchup distract from the fact he directed an armed insurrection against Congress.

When they poke holes in this story they'll say everything is made up.

Focus on big picture.
