Jeh Johnson ‘Concerned’ J6 Committee ‘Overreached’ on Trump-Lunge Story: Wouldn’t Be ‘Admissible in a Courtroom’

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he is “concerned” that the January 6 Select Committee may have “overreached” with an alleged incident involving former President Donald Trump inside a vehicle.

Johnson praised the hearing for being “choreographed exceptionally well for the attention span of the average American in 2022.”

However, he added, “I’m concerned that the committee may have overreached on the incident in the vehicle.”

Johnson said of the story: “It was secondhand hearsay.”

Johnson said he would have gone to the source of the story to verify it before making it public.

“Before I went out with the second-hand hearsay, which is going to get a lot of attention, I’d want to know what the first-hand witness has to say,” he said.

“It depends on how you interpret hearsay. But, you know, that testimony would not have been admissible in a courtroom,” Johnson added.

“And as you know, secret service agents don’t normally talk about what they see, what they hear from their protectees. I was a protectee of the secret service for three years. And they have to be in a position to hear and see all kinds of very sensitive things,” he said, casting further doubt on Hutchinson’s testimony

Overreached? All it did was expose this Stalinist Show-trial to the mockery and contempt it so richly deserves.

Six years of non-stop digging by an army of would-be Berias, and what do they have to show for it? NOTHING!

Donald Trump is the most squeaky-clean man in history!

Oh if only Lavrentiy Beria were here! He'd come up with something!

Beria! Now there was an operator!

They just don't make 'em like Beria any more!

Oh woe! Woe!

Ya think??? It’s not how you interpret hearsay, hearsay is hearsay, only has one definition. Also in this case, the hearsay is pure bullsh*t!

He’s gonna catch hell for saying the quiet part out loud. Of course if he was really introspective of the whole dog n pony show he would admit that it’s been a total fraud and farce since day one.
