Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson cooperating with DOJ probe
CNN ^ | July 27, 2022 | Evan Perez and Paul LeBlanc

Posted on 07/28/2022 4:32:23 PM PDT by lowbridge

Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson is cooperating with the Justice Department's criminal investigation into the plots to subvert the 2020 election, a source with knowledge of the discussions confirmed to CNN.

The extent of that cooperation, first reported by ABC News, isn't clear.

The Justice Department declined to comment. An attorney for Hutchinson did not respond to a request for comment.

The criminal investigation into the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, and attempts to disrupt the transfer of power between the Trump and Biden administrations is the most wide-ranging in the Justice Department's history.

The agency has already brought two top aides to Pence in front of a federal grand jury, a move that signals its probe has reached inside former President Donald Trump's White House and that investigators are looking at conduct directly related to Trump and his closest allies' efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Hutchinson has cooperated extensively with the House select committee's investigation into the attack on the US Capitol, having sat for four closed-door depositions. She revealed how Trump and his inner circle were warned about the potential for violence on January 6, and how Trump wanted to join the throngs of his supporters at the Capitol.

Her testimony bolstered the narrative that the committee has been driving toward: That Trump incited and supported the insurrection as part of a desperate power grab to steal a second term, and that many of his top advisers thought his schemes were illegal.

The Justice Department has also reached out to other Trump White House officials regarding the Capitol attack, said Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House communications director during the Trump administration.

Isn’t she the one who gets secondhand information and makes leftists all moist? Not particularly a great go-to witness.

So what can us lowly serfs do when an election is clearly stolen? Outside revolution. I thought the system allows us peasants to have our grievances addressed.

The Justice Department reached out to her following her testimony a month ago before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the sources said.‘’

———-

We can see how this works and a deeply corrupt Justice Department is a willing participant.

Did she tell how Trump suggested the National Guard be activated to protect the Capitol? Or that Trump never told anyone to try to take the building over? Or that an insurrection involves weapons of which there were none? Or that Trump never called on people to organize an insurrection? Nope. I didn’t think so.
