Pollak: L.A. Times’ 8 ‘Bombshells’ from Hutchinson Testimony Are All Duds
Breitbart ^ | 29 Jun 2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 06/29/2022 7:34:47 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

The establishment media treated the testimony Tuesday of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson at the January 6 Committee as if it were damning for Trump — before her claims began to fall apart.

The fact that Hutchinson was seen actually hugging members of the January 6 Committee, as if they were partners in some joint enterprise rather than investigators seeking the truth, ought to have raised red flags — but did not, until it was too late.

The Los Angeles Times, among others — including Fox News — set aside the basic rules of journalism, accepting as fact the sudden claims made by a witness whose testimony was based entirely on hearsay and who was never subject to cross-examination.

The Times published a list of what it called eight “bombshells” — some of which were soon debunked, some of which remain dubious, and some of which were just a repetition of things that were already common knowledge or that other witnesses had already told the investigation.

Several Trump aides knew the risk of violence before Jan. 6 — As did the president himself, which is why he approved the use of the National Guard to secure the Capitol beforehand, though Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declined.

Trump knew Jan. 6 rally attendees had weapons — the “weapons” in question were not AR-15 rifles, as the committee implied Tuesday, but rather a variety of implements — flagpoles, shields, pepper spray — that anyone could see on television.

White House counsel raised concerns about Trump speech — This was already known from prior testimony, though in a general sense it is completely unremarkable: the job of legal counsel is to raise concerns about almost every speech.

It’s just a dream, but I want Trump to not only win the Presidency in 2024, but to go full-on Lucius Cornelius Sulla in his retribution.

Cassidy Hutchinson’s favorite often repeated 6 words.

“....said something to the effect of”

Now that’s some pretty hard hitting hearsay with some personalized editorial interpretation.

Someone on the phone who knew of the name Mark Meadows said something to the effect of Trump taking the wheel of the beast and doing burnouts on the WH lawn.

She testified that Ornato told her. Ornate was not in the car!
