Aides to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly discouraged efforts to call Hutchinson to testify, citing concerns that sexually explicit messages from certain lawmakers to Hutchinson could become public.


Release it and let the chips fall.

If there was a truly honest Congressional hearing that would be the first one sense Harry Truman.

I don’t care if members are embarrassed.

Transparency!

Besides, she lied under oath.

And why won’t Johnson release the slush fund names of money paid to “hush up” women? Trump is still being harassed in a “hush money” case.

“So, Liz Cheney?”

Well, there were only two “Republicans” on the committee.

And Liz has more testosterone than Adam Kinzinger.

You hit the nail on the head. That is the problem. The whole place seems to run on sex, coke and money.

In that case, they’re more worried about protecting those that sent the messages than her for receiving them.

From Wikipedia: “In her 2023 memoir Enough, Hutchinson alleges that Rudy Giuliani groped her backstage during Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021.[23] She also wrote that then-Congressman Matt Gaetz made “repeated passes” at her and asked her to “escort” him to his room at Camp David in 2020.”[24][25]

What key Republican lawmakers? The only two “Repukes” on the Committee were Cheney and Kinzinger, and the Committee itself did little or no cross examination themselves of witnesses. Did the Committee even allow Republican House members not on the Committee to cross-examine subpoenaed witnesses?

I didnt say I would text her. I would ask her out if I were younger. She is young and pretty damn cute. The problem is a lot of the people we sent to DC have a small God complex and many use their positions of great influence to score goals they had no business firing pucks on. I had a great time before I got married. Young, hot, and single was a target for me when I was in my 20’s. I didnt go after the young, boring and ugly....why waste your time when life was a target rich environment.

Not to mention, given her behavior already (sticking a knife in the back of President Trump with her concocted story about J6), what is to stop her from releasing the texts anyway? Johnson’s concern is a scandal forcing 1 or 2 GOP members to resign, especially in marginal districts, when the GOP has only a 1-2 seat advantage. But if you delcine to subpoena and grill Hutchison now, what is to stop her from releasing the texts next month? I would take the hit and expose her lies and fabrications and let the chips fall where they may.
