Take time and money in court.
Humiliate and damage job prospects.
But them and their families in harm's way.

And if any indictment will be sustained in court.

The DOJ’s batting average isn’t so good this far…

9. MaddowBlog-Republicans reportedly refer Cassidy Hutchinson to DOJ over Jan. 6 testimony

Four years after the former White House aide delivered stunning revelations about Donald Trump, GOP lawmakers appear focused on bringing her down.

At the time, there didn’t appear to be any point to asking a failed committee to fail again, but it now appears the partisan exercise still has some scores to settle. CNN reported:

Republicans on Capitol Hill are asking the Justice Department to consider bringing criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide in President Donald Trump’s first administration who became a star congressional witness about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to two sources familiar with recent developments.

GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk made a criminal referral of Hutchinson to the Justice Department in recent days, the sources said. He accused Hutchinson of lying to Congress in her summer 2022 testimony when she alleged Trump was aware of the potential for violence on January 6, 2021, and forged ahead with his attempts to rile up his supporters
.


.....CNN’s report also followed similar reporting from 2024 about Loudermilk and his committee specifically focusing its energies on Hutchinson, a former aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. (Relatedly, Kash Patel, before the podcast personality became the FBI director, included Hutchinson on his notorious “government gangsters” enemies list.)

Based on the publicly available information, there’s no reason to believe Hutchinson, who delivered stunning Jan. 6 testimony nearly four years ago, did anything wrong. What’s more, there’s no reason to believe the criminal referral will amount to anything: In the last Congress, the same Republican-led panel asked the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into former House GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney for foolish reasons that collapsed under scrutiny, and the referral was ignored.

But given the degree to which the Trump DOJ is (a) controlled by the president; and (b) determined to punish the president’s perceived political foes, it’s probably best not to dismiss these developments out of hand. Watch this space

Cassidy Hutchinson did nothing wrong
