A Closer Look at the ‘Hearsay’ Claims Surrounding Hutchinson’s Trump Testimony
National Review ^ | June 29, 2022 3:18 PM | Andrew C. McCarthy

It seems to me that the Secret Service and the commentariat are misfiring in their claimed contradictions of Cassidy Hutchinson. If there is a proper target of criticism (and that’s not clear at this point), it is the House January 6 committee, not the witness.

In the course of her riveting testimony Tuesday (which I described in a column posted last night),

[cut]

We shouldn’t leap to the conclusion that anyone is lying. But we should be provided with all of the relevant testimony. And, contrary to the committee’s practice, there should be probing cross-examination so we can get to the bottom of any discrepancies.

Apparently she was in line to work for him at Mar A Lago.

She’s nothing but a snitch.

She’ll be the talk of the town for a day or two and the. Disappear into oblivion as everyone now knows that she can’t be trusted.

She’ll be another like that red-head that used to be on Fox that got into it with Lewandowski. The “Conservative”‘who was dating the Democrat staffer.

Sorry, the two don’t intermingle anymore.

You’re either a Conservative or a UNIPARTY/Liberal Hack(as they are the same). And there aren’t all that many Conservatives in DC.

Cashing in on being an INTERN for Ted Cruz passed on to Steve Scalise, then passed on to Mark Meadows, like a joint at a Grateful Dead concert.

These guys need to explain their relationship to her and why they thought she was a good INTERN.

GOP gave up the chance for that.

What’s with this 25-year-old underling calling everyone by their first names?

Is that a norm these days?

Why a third party testimony? Why hasn’t the unselect committee been able to track down the original witnesses to Trump’s alleged behavior, to have them testify? Sounds like an investigation conducted by the Keystone Cops.The fact that the Secret Service has said that the unselect committee never contacted them about Hutchinson’s testimony before she appeared at the hearing, tells me all I need to know about the lack of credibility of this witch hunt.

Have we heard from Mark Meadows?

I don't trust Meadows as far as I can throw him.

The parallels with the cherished Ukraine whistleblower are amazing.

These people are rewarded and treated like Celebrities.

This is my closer look-—

1. Those who worked in Trump’s White House had Executive Privilege and generally were unwilling to be deposed by J6 Committee. 2. J6 committee brings in low level Cassidy who says ‘so and so’ said this’ 3. J6 committee demands that ‘so and so’ testify. 4. The objective of the J6 committee is to get around ‘executive privilege’. And never-Trumpers like Andrew McCarthy are helping the J-6

Wow interesting take and it makes a lot of sense.

"Eye-witness accounts? Don't trust 'em! The hearsay is much more reliable."

Democrat mantra: "It's not the evidence that's important, it's the seriousness of the charges that count."

I have a line through him in my book.

Didn’t wait long to write that scathing POC did he.

Well, I’m not waiting either. He’s OUT.

There’s no need to go deeper. What she offered was the textbook example of heresay. What’s worse is her heresay is actually perjury… since the folks she’s quoting have said she’s lying.

"Not gonna watch him anymore!"

I stopped watching Fox News when Obama was elected. That was the only news channel I bothered watching, but they went off the rails a long time ago. I watch no news programming on any platform ever. I don't need my news filtered through somebody who is paid to tell me what they think I need to hear.

McCarthy gets it wrong again. Tony Ornato wasn’t in the car. It wasn’t hearsay. It was a flat out lie.

"She’s nothing but a snitch."

Compare how the media has treated her, to the way they treated Linda Tripp, and the rest of the women who came forward about Clinton. They were nuts and sluts. This c*nt who offers 3rd hand, unverified hearsay, is considered a hero by them.

It was riveting to idiots who think the president rides in the front seat of the beast. They are all so desperate to get Trump that they keep making fools of themselves. What a bunch of losers.
