I have to hand it to the Jan. 6 Committee. They’ve already proven what hacks they are, yet they just keep digging that hole deeper for themselves and in so doing, they keep revealing how empty their case is.
Let’s be frank — the whole point of the Jan. 6 effort is to try to do all they can to take down Donald Trump, because they’re afraid he’ll run again and win in 2024. So, if they wanted to be honest about it, what they’re doing is an effort to “interfere” in the 2024 election ahead of time.
But the testimony of the “witnesses” they had on Thursday revealed just how empty their quiver is. Once again, they played this “let’s push hearsay about what the Secret Service agents said” game. Rep. Elaine Luria claimed they had two people who heard things from the Secret Service agents about Trump being upset in the car about a “confrontation,” but then what she claimed wasn’t even that.
She described the first witness as “a former White House employee with national security responsibilities” who spoke to Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato and Trump’s lead Secret Service agent, Robert Engel.
“This employee told us that Mr. Ornato said that the president was ‘irate’ when Mr. Engel refused to drive him to the Capitol,” Luria said. “Mr. Engel did not refute what Mr. Ornato said.”
Then there was Sgt. Mark Robinson of the D.C. Metro Police Department.
Robinson said that one of the Secret Service agents in the car told him there was a “heated discussion” with Trump about going to the Capitol.
Is that it?
In other words, the Committee was pushing more hearsay, yet all they now have from the hearsay was that Trump was upset or had a “heated discussion.” What happened to that supposed grabbing of the wheel or lunging at the Secret Service agent? There was no corroboration of those super human feats from 74-year-old Trump. No one had ever contested that Trump was upset. We knew that already. So? What does that prove–other than nothing? It’s sort of hilarious that they are so grasping at straws that now, all they seem to have is “heated discussion,”and they’re trying to make something out of that.
But you notice what else is missing here? Any testimony from the folks who were in the car — the agent and the driver who were there. Why? Because they reportedly disputed Hutchinson’s claims. Why aren’t we seeing them being called back and their testimony in public? Because they would kill the whole story? Luria claimed that they were being called. I’ll believe it when I see it. And if they were, and they blew a hole in the Hutchinson claims, the Committee would claim they corroborated her testimony if they acknowledged there was a “heated discussion.” The Committee members are such hacks.
But hey, keep it up, keep stepping in it. They wanted to take out Trump and hurt the Republicans’ chances in the midterms. But instead, they’re proving yet another reason why the Democrats should all be voted out for pushing such nonsense.
Hearsay, no opposition questioning of the so called witnesses = one big charade.
‘...what they’re doing is an effort to “interfere” in the 2024 election ahead of time.’
This. This is exactly what it’s all about.
The congressional show trial is nothing but a huge taxpayer financed smear against Trump that they hope will destroy him politically. And as with any political campaign, facts just get in the way.
President Trump was upset? Well there it is, he was upset. Thankfully he wasn’t irate, that there would be just inches from passed off. Somehow we all survived. It was a miracle I tell ya!
“But hey, keep it up, keep stepping in it. They wanted to take out Trump and hurt the Republicans’ chances in the midterms. But instead, they’re proving yet another reason why the Democrats should all be voted out for pushing such nonsense.”
Not only should they be pushed out, but should all be indicted on charges of sedition and sent to Gitmo as enemies of the State.
My best guess is they are going to attempt to make ineliable to run for ANY public office.
Obviously they do not have the authority but when did that stop these demented freaks?
Early on after January 6th, I clearly recall trolls on other sites mocking Trump for not going to the Capitol with his supporters, implying (I guess) that he was a coward who let his followers take all the risks. Now they are suggesting he’s somehow a criminal for WANTING to go with them and arguing about it with Secret Service agents.
“claimed they had two people who heard things”
Yeah, ok /s
It’s the same libtard harassment machine that began in 2016 🤪
He’s an obstruction to the corrupt government mafia machine
making an issue out of Trump wanting to go the capitol, a heated argument, even going as far as grabbing a steering wheel, is just ridiculous. No crimes, no concern. No one cares.
This time! .meep meep.
Ping
If the third-hand hearsay were accurate, what does it mean? How about, Trump wanted to go calm his supporters and tell them to desist rioting; when the SS refused to let him try, he was pissed. Oops, they destroyed their entire narrative.
Next thing you know they’ll be saying Trump was miffed.
I am loving listening to the childish banter, from otherwise exceptionally intelligent friends who think hearsay, lack of corroboration, direct testimony and little things like evidence, twist themselves into knots over this nonsense “hearing”.
Pushing their buttons so they stridently continue their obtuse and pendantic claims “You always make everyone out to be wrong, as if you are the only with facts!” (or something like that...)
All the while stating you are entitled to your own opinion but, facts are more relevant....
I was tickled by Pat Cipollone when he said, I can’t repeat that privileged conversation.
Then he did.
Not really tickled - - - but someone should be ‘ticked’!
...what they’re doing is an effort to “interfere” in the 2024 election ahead of time.’
And why not as it’s worked so well for them since 2016. This is simply a non-stop shiite show until enough patriotic Americans say enough is enough. When that will occur is anybody’s guess.
Just like when Pres Trump defeated Her Heinous, she calmly reacted with a happy heart saying “Oh, well! Win some lose some”.
