As part of the next day's post-mortem of former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson's stunning testimony before the House Select Committee's investigation into Donald Trump's part in the January 6th Capitol riot, former prosecutor Elie Honig singled out the most important revelation for CNN's "New Day" host John Berman.

"We played that soundbite, Cassidy Hutchinson saying she heard with her own ears Donald Trump saying that he wanted those people at his rally who he was told they were armed to get in and march to the Capitol," host Berman prompted.

"Yeah, John, to me that was the single most important and incriminating piece of testimony that we heard yesterday," the former federal prosecutor replied. "This is firsthand testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson. It's the cleanest link we have so far between Donald Trump and the violence that ensued. This established that he knew that crowd was not just angry, but armed. He knew they were not there to harm him."

"In fact," he continued. "He felt secure enough that he said you can take down the mags, the metal detectors and he knew they were headed for the Capitol. We have seen that speech that he made moments later on the ellipse, well this puts that speech 'we're going to fight like hell, go to the Capitol or else you won't have a country anymore,' this puts that speech in a whole new context."

1. Another thing to keep in mind

The former guy said he knew that the armed mob wasn't there to hurt him. So when you're on the internets and some troll tries to blame Antifa or BLM or whoever for the violence of the failed insurrection, point them to the former guy's own statements and actions from that day. Then point and laugh at the troll and encourage others to do likewise.

2. Plus Giuliani's call for "trial by combat" in his speech

John Eastman even chuckles, evilly, when Giuliani calls for it.

3. Trump has always been inclined to let others do his dirty work

Just like the goons in Charlottesville that led to the death of an innocent person Trump failed to condemn the violence and he knew exactly the message he was sending. He enjoys these groups like the Proud Boys and the violence that they inflict. I really hope that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent. But of course I am not holding my breath.

5. Such a sad little man

He really did bring such disgrace to the office.
