According to previous reports, the January 6th Committee trial trials are not high on Americans’ priority list. However, Democrats, NeverTrump allies, and the Democrats seem determined to make them successful. Even though there’s not even one bit of concrete evidence to suggest that Trump had intended to inspire supporters to enter the Capitol and/or be part of a conspiracy/plot to undermine the democratic process, this is despite the fact that the Capitol was breached that day.
A perfect example of the sham nature of the “surprise” proceedings this week is in how then-Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows’ aide and “star” witness Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony imploded on multiple levels, as we also noted, with the “blockbuster” part of it – namely where she gave hearsay testimony about how Trump allegedly tried to take over “The Beast” from the Secret Service because he badly wanted to go to the Capitol to join the protesters – being strongly countered by the Secret Service, who say they are prepared to give additional testimony if called upon to do so.
It was a short and memorable trip through #SteeringWheelGateIt was a remarkable story. But because the mainstream media for the most hasn’t done their due diligence in uncovering the who/what/when/where/why of how it unfolded – specifically as to why third-hand testimony was allowed and without the benefit of also calling on Actual witnesses for another round of questioning to either corroborate or counter said testimony, former NRSCer Matt Whitlock provided a handy two-tweet primer on what went down this week, including how The Usual Suspects conveniently changed their tunes on the supposed “importance” of the “Beast” story once it started to fall apart:
Follow me as I take you on an adventure through Europe. #SteeringWheelGate
1️⃣ J6 Committee bills “explosive testimony” including steering wheel chaos
2️⃣ Networks cover extensively
3️⃣ It falls apart
3️⃣ We find out Secret Service wasn’t even asked to confirm
4️⃣ Left argues “steering wheel didn’t matter” pic.twitter.com/AaaIDybUL4— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) June 30, 2022
The “interview” on CNN involving committee member Jamie Raskin, who despite repeatedly claiming that questioning election results was wrong has himself attempted to block a president-elect’s victory from being certified, was particularly revealing
This was important – at the time of the interview Raskin was aware the committee had decided *against* seeking corroboration from the Secret Service, likely knowing it would blow up their “explosive testimony.”
It’s amazing that they allowed such fragile stuff to go on air. https://t.co/NXwEeY8K08
