Cassidy Hutchinson and questions on her testimony

Also, Accounts of Trump angrily demanding to go to Capitol on January 6 circulated in Secret Service over past year | CNN Politics

But, I hate that this has been the conversation, exactly as Trump’s circle wanted. Change the conversation from A FUCKING COUP ATTEMPT to a tiff in a car. Jesus, stay on target people!

I am hoping they brought this up because they already can show contradictions in prior testimony by Ornato and others. You can’t go wrong putting a Trumpist under oath, they couldn’t tell the truth to save their own lives. Otherwise, this is a distraction since Hutchinson didn’t witness anything.

And there is precedent for Trump, not just Obama:

I think Hutchinson bringing it up is fine. The distraction is the breathless reporting around “an anonymous source is disputing it, lets concentrate on that for the next week instead of the rest of it.”

Who took the video of the alleged Lunge With Intent to Steer?

Reminds me of a certain Key & Peele sketch.

Thank You!!

The only one I know from them is the substitute teacher sketch (which I have watched at least a hundred times on YouTube). This happened all the time at work, that was a particular guy I worked with for a very long time. He went from being the new kid who knew nothing to being my second in command. He was often tasked with explaining what I actually meant no matter what I had said. I may have even been guilty of it myself, but in all honesty I cannot recall a single instance when I was guilty (I am sure I sometimes was). Funny how the memory works.

Not to mention Jeff Foxworthy.

Gee, I wish I had someone to do that.

Here’s the Key & Peele sketch I was referring to:

Also, I can’t recall the specific quote, but she used that phrase once following a quote containing the word “effing”. If she hadn’t qualified it, Trumpists would’ve claimed that she lied. If she had used the actual expletive, they would’ve attacked her “vulgar” speech.

This is from the other thread, where it was deemed a hijack, but it fits right in here.

Do you still think it’s most likely false now that we know other people heard essentially the same story?

FWIW, during Hutchinson’s testimony I flipped over to Fox during a break, and that* was exactly the reaction of one of the commentators.

How dare they refuse his direct order! That’s insubordination! It’s an outrage!

Love this!! It is clear that I have only seen the best two bits these guys have ever done! This is the dynamic exactly! And it is not hard for me to imagine Mr. Ornato saying (something to the effect of): (looks over shoulder and all around) "Listen Mr. Preseeedent, I don’t care who you are! I say we aren’t going to the capitol because that is MY decis . . . " (coming to attention) “Yes sir Mr. Trump, do you need me for anything!”

He was really valuable, he knew the standard procedures and he knew all my quirks. (He was also fairly fearless at great heights with shear drops but that was a whole other thing.) The few times I went on vacation, that guy would be in charge of running the operation even though he was relatively under skilled, and a different guy was in charge of all technical matters.

I believe that was legal scholar Jonathan Turley.

He used to be normal. Now he’s a straight up loon.

So he’ll be in Congress soon?

Nah, they’re mostly all great. There’s an occasional clunker, but I don’t think I’ve watched any of their shows and not belly-laughed at least once.

Never before seen footage of Trump inside the SUV on J6:

Thank you for the tip, I will be watching these as much as I reasonably can going forward.
