New J6 Witness Testimony Explodes on Contact with Reality

Cassidy Hutchinson

Has there ever been a witness whose testimony was refuted this fast? Yesterday, Mark Meadow 25 year old underling Cassidy Hutchinson took the chair in the J6 Star Chamber and made some incredible accusation. And I do mean incredible. At Da Hill, Hutchinson says Trump knew Jan. 6 attendees had weapons: ‘They’re not here to hurt me’. You know, there are two way to "know", one is to have personal knowledge, which Trump likely did not have. A second is to "know" that in any large group of people, some will be armed. She also claimed Trump threw ketchup at staff. In addition to the long anticipated statements that several pro-Trump congress members and other staff members solicited pre-emptive pardons, she swore that a Secret Service agent told her that Trump attempted to go to the Capitol, going as far as to lean over the seat of "The Beast", and grab the drivers arm. Only one problem here. The Beast's driver and passenger compartment are separated by a partition, and it would be physically impossible for Trump to do so. Oh, that, and the Secret Service members in question coming forth and saying they are willing to testify under oath that it never happened, and that she was never told that by the officer. Many links. AllahPundit at Haut Hair bought it hook, line and sinker, Trump aides, Fox News stunned by Hutchinson testimony about Trump and Jan. 6 witness: Trump tried to grab the limo steering wheel to go to the Capitol, lunged at Secret Service agent, as did Bret Baier at Fox, FNC’s Bret Baier: Hutchinson’s ‘Stunning’ Testimony Moved the Ball (Breitbart).

"Her Fake story that I tried to grab the steering wheel of the White House Limousine in order to steer it to the Capitol Building is “sick” and fraudulent, very much like the Unselect Committee itself – Wouldn’t even have been possible to do such a ridiculous thing. 

I hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and “leaker”), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down. Why did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news! "

And then the final nail in Cassidy's credibility, proof that some of her direct, as well as her hearsay testimony was a lie, at Da Wire, Top Former White House Lawyer Delivers Devastating Blow To Cassidy Hutchinson Testimony

Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann delivered a damaging blow to Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday as he claims that he wrote the handwritten note that Hutchinson told the January 6 House select committee that she wrote.

The note that Hutchinson claims that she wrote stated, “Anyone who entered the Capitol without proper authority should leave immediately.”

“Herschmann is claiming that a handwritten note regarding a potential statement for then-President Donald Trump to release during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was written by him during a meeting at the White House that afternoon, and not by White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson,” ABC News reported. “At Tuesday’s Jan. 6 committee hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney displayed a handwritten note which Hutchinson testified she wrote after Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows handed her a note card and pen to take his dictation.”

One source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Daily Wire that Herschmann is claiming that he wrote the note, and not Hutchinson.

“The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,” a spokesperson for Eric Herschmann told ABC News. “All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann.”

So, you can either conclude that the Star Chamber willingly embraced the perjury, or that their research was sufficiently shoddy that it didn't reveal the obvious discrepancies before they held the show trial. Your choice. As for Ms, Hutchinson, I wish her a long career on CNN+, although I assume the DOJ will decline to investigate and prosecute. From Madeleine Hubbard at JTN, Chuck Grassley slams Justice Department for not prosecuting employees for lying "Grassley listed more than a dozen cases where the United States Attorney's Office declined to prosecute staffers."

“The riot on Capitol Hill after the 2020 election is one of the most boring, overblown stories of the Trump era, but naturally, Democrats and the media obsess over it because they think it makes Republicans look bad. Oh, and because it gives them an excuse to talk about one of their favorite things — themselves,” added Scarry in his latest book, Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone.
