Jan. 6 committee member says witnesses do not 'corroborate other witnesses'
Washington Examiner ^ | July 10, 2022 | Abigail Adcox

A member of the Jan. 6 committee indicated former White House counsel Pat Cipollone was not directly asked to corroborate or respond to Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony that he had advised former President Donald Trump against going to the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said on Sunday that Capitol riot investigators do not call witnesses to "corroborate other witnesses" but stressed that Cipollone provided testimony that "does not dispute" what Hutchinson told the committee.

"We never call in witnesses to corroborate other witnesses or to give their reaction to other witnesses," Lofgren said during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper. "I will say that he did interview with us for eight hours and provide very insightful information, and that augments and certainly does not dispute Ms. Hutchinson's testimony."

"We never call in witnesses to corroborate other witnesses

What a joke of an 'investigation' this is.

They have multiple 'election deniers' on this committee, including the Chairman. Now this.

Still waiting for the open air testimony of the Secret Service agents involved. Yeah, not likely....goes directly against the narrative being driven.

“Yet another reason its not a real or valid investigation.”

It’s an attempt at a political “show trial.” Here’s an excellent summation of what a show trial is and how this one compares with the Soviet show trials of the Stalin era.

Secret Service has the authority to override the president, if they believe there are real security issues.

Although, I don’t know if they can tie him down if he insists on ignore any real risks, but they can say no to him.

I’m aware...but do they really, really have that authority?? I doubt it. “The Art of the Deal Might Apply”.

Without allowing the videos from the Capitol on January 6, this whole thing is a meaningless exercise in State sponsored left wing/deep state radicalism.

So the J6 committee member said witness do not corroborate what other witness say. Why not? Because they can’t. The truth is indelible and can be corroborated. Lies are temporary and cannot withstand the test of time.

Authority of Secret Service

Just read....Secret Service had insisted on a roof for JFK's limo in Dallas. He over rode them.

Corroborate or it didn’t happen.

Some are still laboring under the impression that this is an actual legal proceeding when in fact it is a show trial, plain and simple. It’s not an attempt to lay out all the facts, and reach a conclusion based on all the facts, it is an attempt to weave together statements to support their predetermined narrative, i.e., Trump is guilty of the “crime” of disagreeing with the rigged and fraudulent election.

“We never call in witnesses to corroborate other witnesses or to give their reaction to other witnesses,”

It would upset the narrative.
