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.

Oh please you RINO. Nobody is fooled by this. You were D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E to believe it was true so you did your best to try to puff it up.

You ended up once again with egg all over your face.

Lotta of words from this guy to say so little.

Hearsay testimony can be used to help discover admissible evidence. Okay, we all know that.

But why did she testify in the open hearing? The committee investigators would have interviewed her off-line to discover the witnesses that should be called, such as, the driver, secret service, etc.

Instead, this girl was presented as a fact witness when most of what she said would be inadmissible in a court. The Dems were counting on Americans being to be too stupid to tell the difference. But, I think given the popularity of crime and law television, even the most tuned out Americans can recognize that her live testimony was a meaningless distraction.

Exactly.

Her 15 minutes is already up though. She thought she was going to be able to ride that wave a little.

25 year old staffer vs senior Secret Service personnel who were quick to refute her story. She’s done. She was played by the committee. A ‘useful idiot’ that was chewed up and spit out.

Is the term “The Beast” for any vehicle POTUS is in or is it exclusive to the limo

Neither. Here is Dan Bongino's comments on her "testimony".

I thought I had heard every variation of the word, but that’s the first time I’ve heard that particular appendage referred to as a steering wheel.

No thanks. I'm not interested in any news programming. I've survived on FR and what it offers for many years. God gave me a brain, and I can read, and I have the capability of analyzing what I read, and making up my own mind on issues. Listening to these reporters regurgitate what is written for them, is no different than hearing 3rd party hearsay testimony like that of Cassidy Hutchinson.

This dope apparently realized -- too late -- that he sacrificed his integrity as a lawyer to further his career as a propagandist for the establishment GOP.

Perhaps he never imagined that the "testimony" of the witness would be so clearly refuted so soon after she got up and left J6 committee room.

“””Is the term “The Beast” for any vehicle POTUS is in or is it exclusive to the limo?”””


You mean like whatever plane the President flies in is called Air Force One???

That would be a stretch since the “Beast” is generally acknowledged to be the heavily armored Lincoln limo.

What’s worse is her heresay is actually perjury… since the folks she’s quoting have said she’s lying.

You are right. Hearsay testimony can be false, and therefore grounds for a perjury charge.

In this particular case if her testimony were true it would indicate criminal conduct by the Secret Service agents involved. Refusing to take the President to his desired destination, and then effectively detaining him to prevent him from performing his duties, as he sees them, is highly improper and illegal activity.

A good way to understand the nature of the charges would be to consider what charges the DOJ would bring against a random American who somehow got in the drivers seat of the presidential limousine and took the President, against his wishes, to a location the driver chose when the President was trying to get to the White House, or the Pentagon, or the Congress. It would not be a misdemeanor.

This guy tried the 1st WTC bombing in the 90’s and is living off that conviction. He is a strong anti Trumper and is a typical RINO. He’s lost credibility.

Whiskey Tango F.... REALLY? What other conclusion is possible, given the UNTRUTH of what Ms. Hutchinson said.

actually white supremacy is ok.
The 2020 census found 58.7% of the U.S. population is white.
a majority.
as it has been since forever.
Majority rules...hence White Supremacy.

“This is not an investigative panel, it is a persecution committee and their final decision has already been pre-made.”

This is an inquisition. From Merriam-Webster dictionary:

Definition of inquisition

1a capitalized : a former Roman Catholic tribunal for the discovery and punishment of heresy
b : an investigation conducted with little regard for individual rights
c : a severe questioning

I like that. I will henceforth refer to the J6 Inquisition. We all should.
