Cassidy Hutchinson’s Testimony against Trump Is Devastating
National Review ^ | June 28, 2022 10:33 PM | Andrew C. McCarthy

Things will not be the same after this.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, provided compelling testimony Tuesday that former president Donald Trump is singularly culpable for the Capitol riot.

Instead of trying to stop it, he willfully exacerbated the problem — and would apparently have made it worse still if the Secret Service had not been courageously insubordinate.

That’s what we learned today. Things will not be the same after this.

Note: The original version of this column incorrectly stated that, on January 6, 2021, President Trump and his Secret Service detail traveled in the presidential limousine that is sometimes referred to as “the Beast.” It has been corrected to reflect that they were traveling in a Secret Service SUV.

Not only coached, but transformed a la Eliza Dolittle.

Having found himself irrelevant at NR and PoxNews, he’s just lobbying for a job from Merrick Garland.

National review is a shell of its former self. Sad but true.

This guy is an attorney? Has he ever heard of something called heresy?

He’s always, I repeat, always been anti Trump...

It will change everything. The media can now focus on this 24/7. Sure sounds credible that the portly Trump, conjured his inner ‘Neo’ to over power his protection staff to attend a mob that was going on while he was speaking. I like the little bit about “ketchup dripping down the wall.” We all are suppose to HATE that Trump uses ketchup so he must use it on everything. Reminds me of this.

“Um, he’s sick. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”

I wouldn’t doubt that for a moment. He’d sell out his principles to the highest bidder or for thirty pieces of silver if he was desperate.

How does a 22-year-old (who holds B.S. and only had 2 prior internships) get a position of assistant to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows?
That would be a good question for an expert on intern hiring at the WH, Monica Lewinsky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep....

Seemed to me that Hutchinson and Cheney participated in a carefully rehearsed dialogue prepared by committee staffers (script writers) over the past year. The innuendo regarding Meadow shutting the car door in the 25-years-old's face was typical Prog overkill. And there was much more...burned documents, overheard statements.

This piling on is the hallmark of lefties and their fellow travelers (Cheney) everywhere. Hutchinson is a disappointed person cashing in on her disappointment. Her recollection of fine detail perfectly suited the gimcrack committee's purposes and reeks of betrayal.

McCarthy included this caveat in the piece in NR:

If it turns out that Engel disputed Hutchinson’s story, and that Cheney knew that but adduced Hutchinson’s story anyway, without confronting Hutchinson with Engel’s contrary version of events, the committee might as well pack up its bags and go home.

So he knows. Everyone , it seems, just has to jump the gun nowadays.

““....said something to the effect of””

No one could help but notice how many times she used that terminology. All I could think of was this person is all of 25 years old and was in a position of SENIOR ADVISOR to I guess, Meadows. Come on - ADVISOR??? I know things are done differently in DC than in our ordinary lives but that’s stretching things quite a bit. She apparently interned for Cruz and Scalise - wonder what they would have to say about her experience/knowledge level.

FOX is covering the push back right now from the SS agents who say the testimony from yesterday relating to the president and the SUV incident is not true. I guess it was also refuted on Jesse Watters last night.

Shame Brett biteme Baier was pushing the story...

How this girl was an “advisor” to Meadows is concerning. Trouble in River City...

NR. What do you expect from a bunch of metrosexual wine and cheese eaters? They’re bitter clingers when it comes to proving that they were right to be anti Trump.

“”Hutchinson, an aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told the committee on Tuesday that she transcribed a statement that was intended for Trump to release as rioters pillaged the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The note, written on Meadows’ letterhead, read, “Anyone who entered the Capitol without proper authority should leave immediately.””

“That’s a note that I wrote at the direction of the chief of staff on Jan. 6, likely around 3 o’clock,” Hutchinson said at the hearing.””

“And it’s written on the chief of staff note card, but that’s your handwriting, Ms. Hutchinson?” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) then asked.

“”That’s my handwriting,” Hutchinson replied before explaining the circumstances surrounding the origins of the note, which she said was never made public.””

“”Herschmann released a statement on Tuesday claiming that he — not Hutchinson — wrote the note on the afternoon of Jan. 6.””

Funny that bimbo calls a few messy printed words a “transcription.”

Worms have consumed McCarthy’s brain. He was once a good criminal prosecutor but not he has turned into a disgusting Commie.

Uncorroborated innuendo left without counter-representative testimony is let stand as “evidence”.

It is said that there are Secret Service agents whose views on some things Hutchinson said run counter to what she said, but the J6 hoax committee is not calling them to be heard by anyone. WhY? They are not part of the narrative Pelosi is selling.

Headline: Fox News Falls for Cassidy Hutchinson Hoax Testimony.

But will the Kool-Aiders ever admit it?
