Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declared that Tuesday has been "a very, very bad day" for former President Donald Trump following the "explosive" House select Jan. 6 committee hearing.
Mulvaney said he does not believe the star witness lied and highlighted five key takeaways on Twitter.
"1) Trump knew the protesters had guns 2) He assaulted his own security team 3) There may be a line from Proud Boys to the WH 4) Top aides asked for pardons 5) The commission thinks they have evidence of witness tampering," he tweeted. "That is a very, very bad day for Trump."
Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Mulvaney's successor as chief of staff, Mark Meadows, delivered testimony Tuesday recounting Trump's behavior in the lead-up to and day of the Capitol riot.
"My guess is that before this is over, we will be hearing testimony from Ornato, Engle, and Meadows. This is explosive stuff. If Cassidy is making this up, they will need to say that. If she isn't they will have to corroborate. I know her. I don't think she is lying," he tweeted.
He was referring to top White House aide Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel, head of Trump’s Secret Service detail, who told Hutchinson about an alleged fit by Trump after he was told he could not travel to the Capitol on Jan. 6 after his speech at the Ellipse near the White House. The president attempted to grab the wheel of the vehicle he was in and lunged for Engel's throat, Hutchinson testified, citing what she had heard from Ornato.
The most striking takeaway from the hearing came from Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) when she revealed graphics detailing alleged pressure from Trump allies on witnesses before the committee, Mulvaney underscored. She did not divulge who had been pressured or who did the pressuring, instead showing transcripts of the alleged remarks.
"The Press is going to focus on some sensational revelations from today: guns, grabbing a secret service agent, etc. But the real bomb that got dropped was the implied charge of witness tampering. If there is hard evidence, that is a serious problem for the former President," he said.
"Cheney's closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. There is an old maxim: it's never the crime, it's always the coverup. Things went very badly for the former President today. My guess is that it will get worse from here," Mulvaney said.
DeSantis is NOT running!!
The problem IS there are NO good hires in DC the entire place is on the take, he was disrupting their gravy train and THEY ATTACKED!!!
Yet you rarely see a Dem or anyone who works for them in WH betray a President, Chief of Staff, VP, etc.
But, there could be solid conservatives on that Dias, but they chose to opt out when a few hand picked headline grabbers were turned away.
“ DeSantis is NOT running!!”
Right now, he’s running for re-election as governor. After that election is over, I won’t be at all surprised if he starts a 2024 Whire House run. He has never said he won’t. I know that some Freepers claim he has said he wouldn’t run against Trump, but they can’t find an article that quotes him saying that.
Oh sure, you just wait until Desantis runs. You will see the same “take down” on him by the dims.
“You will see the same “take down” on him by the dims.”
Dims will attack him. But he’s too smart to hire people who will help the Dims by backstabbing him. Trump, in contrast, hired backstabbers by the truckload. Trump was too busy wasting time on twitter - tweeting about Megan and Harry, and Scarborough ratings - to be bothered with interviewing job candidates and making sure they supported MAGA.
You’ll notice that Desantis doesn’t waste time with childish twitter posts. He’s too busy governing and actually getting things done.
Desantis 2024
