As we previously reported, the Jan. 6 Committee called a special hearing on Tuesday, after previously saying they weren’t going to have any more hearings until July. Now, I’m calling them “hearings” because that’s the general term being used. But they’re not really “hearings” as we normally understand a government hearing. These are completely controlled events with a set agenda–trying to smear President Donald Trump and Republicans–that have nothing at all to do with a search for the truth or any regard at all for objectivity or truth.
But the reason I wanted to mention this hearing is because of the “big” news that they think they had for the hearing, apparently to call Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The problem is with this testimony once more reveals the problem in this entire Committee. What is this about, if it isn’t about the riot? But they don’t appear to have any evidence to support the claim that Trump associates were in charge of planning the riot or taking part in it.
The story from Hutchinson — billed as something big — seemed more about telling gossip about Trump, which seems to be the aim of the Committee. It is insane.
One of the ‘big’ stories from Hutchinson was something that she didn’t even witness. They just had her repeating hearsay — a story she said she heard someone else say — that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol and tried to grab the wheel from the driver of “The Beast” — the vehicle the president is driven in, but they didn’t think it was safe for him to go there.
Cassidy Hutchinson testifies to having been told by a Secret Service agent that Donald Trump, then-President of the United States, was being driven to Washington after his Jan. 6 rallies. He demanded to go to the Capitol and seized the wheel from an agent. https://t.co/JefVhEsY0b pic.twitter.com/uUyQcnSlLG

I don’t think this is having the effect that they hoped it would.
First, it’s hearsay, so the Committee is having her “testify” about something she didn’t even see. So how is she a “witness” to this? Why didn’t they have the people testify who allegedly saw it? But in a regular court of law, they wouldn’t generally be accepted in evidence.
The second is, what has that got to do with the riot. Again, nothing. What’s it supposed to prove, even if it were true? It was clear that he was unhappy. He wanted to calm down the situation by going to the Capitol. What?
Third, I doubt that, given the structure of “The Beast,” since the President sits in the back seat, and there are seats, as well as a partition in between him and the driver. We’re supposed to believe Trump somehow managed to make it to the wheel to grab it, past other Secret Service people? Congratulations, he’s much more athletic than I ever gave him credit for, and more so than a member of the Secret Service.
Let’s just say the story wasn’t going over well with people.
Sure Cassidy 😂😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/OH4DjwyLkm pic.twitter.com/FbDK4N6leC

The rest of A-Team followed the limousine to their destination. He jumped into his van, and they were able to escape capture thanks the amazing driving of Mr. T!

And then Iron Man said to Trump that if he didn’t take his hand off the steering wheel, which he was holding from the back of The Beast through bulletproof glass, that he would get The Hulk to remove it for him. Trump released Thor and clapped. https://t.co/HNtqUgJv3X

Trump said it was absurd and impossible.
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.
He then scolded her, saying that if he thought she was so horrible, why would she follow him to Florida to get a job?
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. What made her want to join us when she was so critical of our performance? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. It is not good news.
Sorry, Committee. You thought you knew something? Then you made it up with this absurdity.
