Summary
Thursday was the final day of hearings for the Jan. 6 select committee, and it turned out to be a bit of a barn burner, with a lot of new information about Donald Trump's state of mind, about the secret service, and about people with weapons threatening violence.
To chew it all over, Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down on Twitter Spaces with Lawfare senior editors Quinta Jurecic, Alan Rozenshtein, and Molly Reynolds. They talked through what we learned on Thursday, what the subpoena of Donald Trump is going to mean, what the effects on the midterm elections are likely to be, and how the committee has done given the constraints it faced.

| 1:02.2 | It's going to be a drawn out process. |
| 1:04.2 | There's probably going to be some legitimate, interesting questions about, you know, |
| 1:07.9 | subpoenaing a former president that aren't actually trivial. |
| 1:10.8 | There's no way I think that anything is going to get resolved until not just the election |
| 1:15.9 | but the new Congress and unless the Democrats eat out a house victory, which, you know, |
