Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the January 6th committee continues to take body blows after multiple statements she made were contradicted by eyewitnesses. The most outrageous claim involved a supposed fight between Donald Trump and two Secret Service agents, culminating in the president grabbing the steering wheel of “The Beast” in an attempt to get to the Capitol.
Although the story was amazing and spawned many memes, it has been denied by the agents. Of course, the committee has shown no urgency in allowing contradictory testimony that pushed back on “the narrative.”
However, Hutchinson’s defenders portray her as a virtuous truth-teller. Leaked text messages however tell a completely different story.
EXCLUSIVE: Text Messages Show Cassidy Hutchinson Referring To January 6 Committee As ‘BS’
The January 6 committee’s key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, called the committee “bs” in a text message obtained exclusively by the @DailyCallerhttps://t.co/zqy6SqZtgV

In the text message, Hutchinson says: “Hey (redacted)! Cassidy Hutchinson. Kind of a random question, but do you still work for the Schlapp’s at the ACU?”
Hutchinson then said, “Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition).”
“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this bs,” Hutchinson added.
The long and short of this is that Hutchinson was originally as skeptical of the January 6th committee as anyone else in Trump’s orbit. She went so far as to reach out to CPAC to get legal help because she felt the committee’s subpoena was “bs.”
Is that an impartial witness who can provide an exact account? Or does it sound like someone who is looking out for number one, willing to push the committee’s narrative if it gets her out of the crosshairs and maybe a cable news gig along the way? I know where I’d put my money regarding which is more likely.
Hutchinson’s next question was exactly the same as what she promised. The text messages make it clear she didn’t want to cooperate. Was there anything that changed her mind? The idea that she just decided to offer herself as the committee’s biggest witness out of the goodness of her heart doesn’t add up. This is the same person who worked at the White House as Mark Meadows, and for the President himself. You shouldn’t believe for a second that she wasn’t all-in until it became inconvenient and bad for her career. DC is selfish and these often anonymous political operatives will do whatever it takes get ahead. Hutchinson is no exception.
The end result is that people will believe anything they wish to believe. Hutchinson’s infallibility will be believed by those on both the right and left. Those on the Trump-supporting right are going to think she’s a self-serving liar. Most likely, the truth lies somewhere in-between. Did she lie? Probably not, but some of it was based on the evidence we have, and that’s enough to make her testimony nothing more than political gossip. She simply isn’t credible. Because of that, it is hard to believe she could have anything meaningful to add. It doesn’t change the game at all, no matter how much the January 6th committee wants to pretend otherwise.
