Secret Service agents confirm Hutchinson details

False. Somebody told her what they witnessed. And she recounted that. The incident is hearsay, the conversation is not. Nor are any conversations to which she was a party. Keep your day job.



"Engel, then the head of Trump’s security detail, then allegedly grabbed Trump’s hand and told him to take his hand off the wheel. Trump then allegedly turned on Engel himself, using his free hand to “lunge” toward the agent, Hutchinson said."



"Ornato didn’t witness the encounter himself, and he wasn’t under oath when he allegedly relayed the story to Hutchinson. This line of testimony would be considered inadmissible hearsay, if Hutchinson was testifying at trial and that testimony was being offered in support of the alleged fact of Trump trying to grab the steering wheel. Ornato didn’t witness the encounter himself, and he wasn’t under oath when he allegedly relayed the story to Hutchinson. "

Hearsay Defined
Hearsay is defined as an out-of-court statement, made in court, to prove the truth of the matter asserted. These out-of-court statements do not have to be spoken words, but they can also constitute documents or even body language. The rule against hearsay was designed to prevent gossip from being offered to convict someone. "

SHE WAS NOT OFFERING HER TESTIMONY TO PROVE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER ASSERTED, YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER.

SHE WAS ANSWERING A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING ORNATO TOLD HER...AND SHE ANSWERED TRUTHFULLY.

NO ONE IS EXPECTING HER THIRD HAND ACCOUNT OF WHAT WAS SAID IN THE FUCKING CAR TO "PROVE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER." ALL SHE IS TRYING TO DO IS TO ANSWER A QUESTION POSED TO HER.

YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY REALIZE THIS, BUT YOU ARE A TRUMPER, AND YOU MUST CONTINUE WITH THE BULLSHIT YOU ARE ON.

SO CONTINUE. THE LAUGHTER YOU ARE PROVIDING IS PRICELESS.

The ability of a Trumper to show his or her ignorance is astounding.
 
Hello floridafan,

Does it really matter, what your opinions are? After all you would defend Trump, to the extreme, regardless of what was said or done.
Done really know why you continue to defend this man, since your allegiance has changed.

There is a certain portion of America that would stick with Trump no matter what he was accused of. They simply refuse to acknowledge any possible wrongdoing by this man. He is like a deity to them. His word is 'the truth,' and if his word changes then it is 'the new truth.' Absolute loyalty to the man. In their eyes, Trump can do no wrong. If Trump does it, that makes it OK. (Shades of Nixon, except now on a mass scale.)

It is a very troubling situation for America. We need people to be loyal to our country, to our Constitution.

No one person can be held higher.

We are so many generations removed from a monarchy that these people do not understand where we must place our loyalty, nor why.

Hello Concart,

No it isn't. It is just an anecdote that demonstrates Trumps emotional unfitness for the job. The top line is that Trump knowingly sent an armed crowd to the capitol and intended to go into the capitol with them.

The Secret Service protected him from physical danger and also inadvertently protected him politically. Had he gone to the Capitol and been in the middle of that mess it could not be disputed that he was leading it.
 
Secret Service agents are coming forward to say for months after the January 6 insurrection they heard stories very similar to the account former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said she was told by a Trump loyalist and White House aide. The right-wing pro-Trump propaganda machine latched on to parts of her story in which she said she was told the outgoing president lunged at an agent, and “grabbed at” the steering wheel of the presidential limo, which on January 6 was an SUV.

Trump “angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn’t get his way,” CNN reports, citing “two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred.”

That directly supports Hutchinson’s remarks before the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack in her surprise bombshell testimony Tuesday. “The sources tell CNN that stories circulated about the incident,” CNN adds, “in the months immediately afterward the US Capitol attack and before she testified this week.
CNN also reports that “one source, a longtime Secret Service employee, told CNN that the agents relaying the story described Trump as ‘demanding’ and that the former President said something similar to: ‘I’m the f**king President of the United States, you can’t tell me what to do.’ The source said he originally heard that kind of language was used shortly after the incident.”

Hutchinson had told the Committee a Trump aide, Anthony Ornato, had told her Trump got into the presidential limo, which was not “The Beast,” as right-wing propagandists are claiming, but an SUV, and said: “I’m the f-ing president! Take me up to the Capitol now!”

I tell you, these men who worked for trump don't have one testicle between them. That courageous woman's going to be hounded by the twump death squad for the rest of her life now. These guys should be supporting and trying to protect her.

Fuck them!
 
My guess: IT HAPPENED JUST ABOUT THE WAY SHE SAYS SHE WAS TOLD IT HAPPENED.

There will be testimony to corroborate her testimony...you can bet on it.

Of course it did. And right now, she's the only one talking. All the pussies throwing darts from behind spokesmen are such cowards.
 
Hutchinson was telling the truth about everything. Ornato is a liar that won't testify under oath because he knows he will go to jail.

It's very simple calculus. There was absolutely no reason for Hutchinson go on national TV and perjure herself with a made up story about a person she supported. She decided to testify under oath because she finally wised up to what was going on . A lawyer provided to her by Trump told her not to testify. She fired him, and went on to do the right thing. Trump is going down for witness tampering as well. Should be a fun summer.

We won't be able to tie the tampering directly to twump. It will be a character paid from one of his illegal pacs but claiming to be working on his own. The only smart thing twump ever does is not put anything in writing, or flush anything down a toilet that might incriminate him.
 
I think what the Reichwingers who are desperately trying to paint her as a liar forget is that she did not lie under oath. She stated clearly what she was told, NOT what she observed. Yes, that is hearsay. And no, that's only invalid in a court proceeding, not in a congressional investigation. Ivanka Trump herself testified under oath and mentioned that she was told various things, as well. Are they going to call her a liar too?

Remember the main detail that no one has disputed: twump wanted to lead an insurrection of armed rioters into our Capitol. The only reason he's not on trial for murder or attempted murder right now is because his handlers got the best of him after that speech at the Elipse and got his fat ass back to the White House.
