[quote] Cassidy Hutchinson will testify publicly, according to two people familiar with the committee’s plans, after providing crucial testimony to the panel about significant exchanges among Donald Trump’s inner circle in the weeks before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Hutchinson replaced her attorney earlier this month as the select committee’s hearings began; her former attorney was the Trump White House’s chief ethics lawyer, and her new attorney is a longtime ally of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

(emphasis mine) talk about an oxymoron!
Individual 1 is ranting about how he barely new Cassidy Hutchinson, and if he was so bad, why did she want to to go with him to Florida with the transition team? And he turned her down, so now she’s getting revenge.
Nitpick: I believe the “transition team” mentioned in the context of Hutchinson is the subset of the 2021 Trump administration personnel responsible (?) for working with the Biden-Harris transition team.
For the 2017 transition, Hutchinson was still a college student and AFAICT played no role in the Trump White House until 2019.
I read the SEC documents containing the disclosures they gave investors, and they pretty much came right out and said that Donald Trump had a deep history as a con artist that scammed investors, that Donald Trump would be the final decision maker on everything, that Donald Trump might make decisions that put his interest over that of the company and that Donald Trump would be paid for content (truths) he submits on the platform.
Fuck ‘em. You can only go so far in protecting people from their own stupid.
I remember back in the 80s there was a bubble of “investment clubs” in the Bay Area where people would pool their money and make big bux. They were all pyramid schemes where the money collected later went to pay the “investors” who had climbed on earlier.
The state Attorney General and various county District Attorneys all issued statements decrying them and various police and sheriff offices closed them as fast as they could find them, but they kept popping up like toadstools. All the while, would be investors were complaining how their rights were being trampled on and how they should be allowed to put their put their money where they want to.
A month later, after the inevitable collapse, they were squawking about why they hadn’t been protected better.
There is a report that lots of D voters have changed their registration to R. I wonder how many Dem Coloradans changed theirs just to vote against these guys in the primary. I suspect lots of them did. We’ll know if lots of them change back to D in the coming weeks.
I didn’t, but many years ago I registered as Libertarian here in Colorado. Mostly (90%) because it got me a lot less fundraising / polling phone calls (landline baby!), but also because it lets me pick to vote in either Primary. And I may have chosen to vote the Republican Primary this year.
Not that the quality of Republican leadership at the national level (some quibbles at state) has gotten me to vote for a Republican presidential candidate, well, ever. They keep forgetting we hear all the Christian Conservative BS they spout during the primary. Although, if it had been McCain vs Clinton or Kasich vs Clinton there would have been many hard thinks.
[to be clear, I don’t think Hilary was unqualified, or more of a crook than the rest of the invested interest / insider trading politicians, just that I feel (still do) that a more fiscally conservative government is a good idea, if we can drag that POV away from a bunch of Christian coddling, socially oppressive bigots]
OK, I apparently got this backwards. At least that’s what Electoral-vote.com thinks. According to them, CO D-voters reregistering as Rs voted for the wakkos because they (the wakkos) would be easier to defeat in the general:
