    Default Secret Service agents confirm Hutchinson details

    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!”

    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.
    ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

    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.

    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?

    Excellent point. She said she changed her opinion on the election after Bill Barr explained things to her, and not one RW considered that to be hearsay.

    And neither did any LWers either, at least that I have heard about.

    I wonder why one side is so eager to paint the witnesses as liars, unless they're Trumps?

    I'm convinced. He lunged.
    No doubt a grand jury will indict him for lunging and he'll be convicted for it. This is it!

    At minimum I'd like to see him impeached for lunging. The Russia Hoax didn't work, the phone call didn't pan out and the second impeachment trial for exercising his 1st Amendment rights resulted in acquittal.
    Third time's the charm.
