That article reports a lot of very nice things being said about Hutchinson by people in the Trump orbit, that she was well-liked, well respected in that circle, and she indeed has access to a lot of insider meetings. E.g.,
-
Sarah Matthews, who is a former Trump spokesperson, told leftist outlet PolitiFact that she was “essentially [Meadows’] right hand and a very close confidante of his even though she was pretty young.”
-
Matthews would go on to comment that Hutchinson was “extremely mature for her age, highly intelligent, very personable.”
-
Brendan Buck, an ex-aide to former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who stated that as an aide to Meadows, Hutchinson “was always by [Meadows’] side … when there were meetings you’d expect to be principal-level or very small, senior staff-level, he would always insist she was in the room.”
-
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is Pence’s former press secretary, texted PolitiFact that Hutchinson was a “consummate West Wing insider.”
-
“She was known as an incredibly hard and loyal worker — arriving as early as 6 am and often staying until after midnight. She flew all over the country on AF1 with the president,” Griffin texted. “She was well liked and well respected. Always moving a million miles a minute. She was also on a first-name basis with most Republican members of Congress, and was plugged in throughout Republican circles.”
If anything, these glowing comments from these Republican figures make Hutchinson and her testimony more credible.

Try as you may, Ax, you cannot polish a turd. A week AFTER 1/6 she was announcing that she would be working at Mar-A-Lago on the Trump team. Then she didn't get the job. Then she decided to tell these tales, and the clouds parted and jobs from heaven came down.

The “disgruntled (ex-)employee” attack is pretty much foisted on every (former) employee who says negative things about the (former) employer by the employer’s team. I didn’t think you’d get taken in by this sort of attack so easily.

What kind of name is Cassidy anyway?
That is kind of a weird name.
Butch or Hopalong OK, but as a first name, it just isn't right.

Does that make you feel badly? I hope not. There are too many bad feelings in this thread already - enough is enough.

Or that you would fall for her bullshit. And it's proven bullshit.

@Larry said in A bad day for Trump:
Anyone who has even looked inside a limo can tell you it is flat out impossible to grab the steering wheel from the back seat, which is where the VIP would be sitting. That's one. The Secret Service says it didn't happen. That's two. By making such a ridiculous claim, the woman proved herself to be a liar before the sun had set. That's three. It is a proven fact that Trump tried to provide the znational Guard to beef up security. Yet this bunch of fools would have you believe that at the same time as he was trying to beef up security he was conspiring to send armed I surgents into the capital. Thats four.
Ok, I'll bite:
One: If it was the Presidential SUV, there is no barrier between the backseat and the front seat.
Two: The Secret Service hasn't testified to that under oath.
Three: Not sure how her testimony makes her a liar. I believe she told the truth about what she heard. Now, whether what she heard was accurate is a different question, as others like @George-K have pointed out.
Four: I'm not sure he was trying to send armed insurgents to the Capitol, but as said before, all of this is hearsay anyway so until there is better proof of his comments (this and others), this is all just vapor testimony, IMO.
- How do you KNOW there is no barrier? There's one in the Presidential limo.
- The SS has already submitted papers saying they will be happy to testify under oath. Hide behind a tree and see if they're called. I'd say it's 75/25 they're not called.
- That's hearsay. What person in their right mind wants hearsay, possible even third or fourth hand hearsay given in a committee of supposedly this much importance. It's not important, son. It's a political sideshow. They on't give a shit about the country...This is solely trying to wound Trump politically, trying to keep him from running again. It's very hard to steal two elections in a row.
- Troops were offered. It's Pelosi's responsibility to ensure the safety of the Capitol. She did not take the President up on his offer.

I have been in one. Have you? Don't forget I worked in DC for many years doing many things you'll never know about.
Larry said it was flat out impossible. I can guarantee you it's not. Larry said she proved herself to be a liar, which is untrue. The amount of bending over backwards you and Larry do to defend anything against Trump is quite...gymnastic.
I said earlier that most of what she said wouldn't surprise me if true, even stuff she saw directly, but not much hard evidence to use besides her words. Let's try to remain objective instead of Trump cheerleaders, shall we? I'm sure the ketchup on the wall and broken plates was just a interior design decision, too. I'd react the same way if this was Obama who did (or allegedly did) all this.

You honestly don't see how stupid your statements are. That is flat out amazing...
No, you CANNOT reach the steering wheel of a limo from the back seat where a VIP could sit. Let's look at this whole claim. The woman said they were in "The Beast" - term describing the presidential limo. They were not in "The Beast" they were in a Secret Service SUV. THOSE aren't limos, so that isn't even at issue. Secret Service SUVs do not have a partition either, so that isn't an issue. There were however, 3 secret service men in the SUV with Trump. The driver, one in the front passenger seat, and one sitting beside Trump in the back seat. This woman claims that one of these 3 men told her about it. The man she says told her about it has a 21 year career with the agency, with an impeccable record. When he heard what the woman had said, he stated for the record that it categorically did NOT happen, and that he wants to testify to that under oath.
It's not me or Jolly bending over backwards to defend Trump, it's you bending over backwards to me at him - and it makes you look like a fool.

@Larry So now you admit it wasn't a limo, good. And that the SUV doesn't have a partition, good. We are making progress.
The "beast" can be used to reference the presential SUV, you know. Well you might not know, but now you do. But it is not officially "the beast", that is only the limo.
Also she said he reached "at" the steering wheel, which is completely possible from the back seats if he leans forward. Pretty sure you could do that. I know I could. I would imagine, if true, he was not trying to literally drive but was making a point that he would drive if needed to get to the Capitol.

Prithee, how can a sixty-something year-old man reach across three secret service agnts to grab a steering wheel from the back seat?

The full conversation is interesting. As Julie Kelly pointed out, the MSM took an uncorroborated story from an unknown aide with a thin resume, who offered mostly second and third hand accounts of conversations and incidents, and reported it as fact.
Is it any wonder Americans don't trust the media?
