As I said above, a legal principle is "Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus."
- Has it been established that there is a falsehood in Hutchinson’s testimony?
No, not specifically. However, there are two things that come into play.
-
She was inconsistent in her use of "The Beast" vs a Secret Service SUV. Which was it? Were you confused? Was the person who told you this confused? In either case, why should she be believed if she can't get her story straight as to where it happened, as told by a third party.
-
If her testimony can be countered by people who were there (i.e. the Secret Service agents), why believe anything else she said?

OK, I will just wait until a falsehood has been established (if that ever happens) before going further with this line of inquiry.

My old Uncle Henry used to say, If a person will lie about one thing, they'll lie about something else.
How often does Uncle Henry think Trump is lying?
Nice deflection.
Now, quit the gags and stick to the subject.

Is the aforementioned legal principle applicable here? Think of it this way: every one lies about something at some points in their lives, a strict universal application of that principle would disqualify every testimony. Yet we live in the world where many testimonies have been accepted. So clearly that principle is only applied under some conditions but not others.
- Yes. If the Secret Service has notified the committee that agents will be happy to be sworn in to refute her testimony, I consider her to be lying.
- Weasel words.

You brought out a Uncle Henry quote, I asked a direct Uncle Henry question; no deflection at all. You are the one deflecting from my direct question.

No, you've never met Uncle Henry, you don't know Uncle Henry, and you look enough like a "slant-eyed bastard" as he termed most folks of Asian descent, that I doubt you'd have said boo-shit to the man.

Of course not, you are the one who brought out Uncle Henry with a quote attributed to Uncle Henry. I asked an Uncle Henry question only after you brought out an Uncle Henry quote.

This article breaks down various parts of Hutchinson's testimony, carefully classifying for which parts she testified as a direct witness and for which other parts she provided second hand recounting ("hearsay"), and calling out the significance of each:
It turns out for the most part she was a direct witness to events recounted in her testimony; only on the "Trump tried to grab the steering wheel" part did she recounted the event second hand.
My old Uncle Henry used to say, If a person will lie about one thing, they'll lie about something else.
Now, I figure if the woman would lie about something as easily discernable as people fighting over a steering wheel, the truth ain't in her.
How does your Uncle Henry’s wisdom affect your view of President Trump?

Wasn’t Trump attacked by the left for not showing up at the Capitol when he told the protesters he would be?
-
As Greenwood says further down in the Tweet:
"It's literally impossible to count how many times during the Trump years some blockbuster! Russiagate event materialized - the thing that was going to be the fatal blow - and journalists spent all day on Twitter reflexively peddling it, only to watch it fall apart over and over."
THIS alone is why I don't believe any of this crap.

There is a speech pattern in her testimony that occurs over and over again. IIRC, it's words to the effect. It's obvious she was coached up for her testimony by a lawyer or legal team that knew her story was full of hearsay and holes, and needed to CYA the silliness.
She changed to a Democrat lawyer three weeks before her testimony.
Just another ploy ginned up by this guy...

You keep repeating the falsehood that her testimony is “full of hearsay.” The fact is that her testimony has a lot more “direct witness” material than hearsay. E.g., among things recounted in her testimony:
-
Trump saying to remove the magnetometers and let armed protesters in … she’s a direct witness to Trump saying those things.
-
Then White House counsel Pat Cipollone’s warning about the criminal liability leading up to Jan. 6 … she’s direct witness to Cipollone making the warning
-
Kevin McCarthy’s phone call to Hutchinson expressing surprise and anger that Trump said (while speaking to a crowd) that he was going to the Capitol and McCarthy telling the Trump team not to go to the Capitol … she’s direct witness and party to that phone call, McCarthy called her.
-
After the Capitol was breached, then White House counsel Pat Cipollone’s angry reaction to Trump’s inaction, Cipollone’s verbalized worry about the Trump team being responsible for people dying as a result … she’s direct witness to Cipollone’s reactions and statements.
Itemizing the events recounted in her testimony (and the USA Today article I linked to earlier did that) and you would see that there are a lot more “direct witness” matters than “hearsay” in her testimony.

So because your Uncle Henry disliked people of Asian descent, people of Asian descent are by definition fearful of Uncle Henry??
Did Uncle Henry know about the Bataan Death March, by chance?

She changed to a lawyer who was nominated by Trump to lead the DOJ’s Civil Division and was formerly US Attorney General Jeff Session’s Chief of Staff. That’s not a “Democrat lawyer.”
Now that I have shown you a falsehood in what you said, are you going to “Uncle Henry” everything else you say here? Should @George-K “falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus” everything else you say here?

No, I said that simply because Ax is being a pedantic Asian bastard. Her testimony is worthless and it's quite obvious, from the made-up shit, to the CYA coaching, to lack of any cross examination, to the point that the committee members were so objective, they were hugging up on her as she left the room.
Ax knows this is political theater, it's heavily influenced by the same lying, low-life, mother-fucking, son of a bitch (and I'm being charitable) who led the Russia! Russia! Russia! hearings. The best part of Adam ran down his mother's legs as he was born and if there was any justice left in this country, he'd be sitting in a jail cell.
If they had actually wanted a fact-finding January 6th Commission, they could have had one. This is political theater, the third bite at the Trump apple, and a blatant attempt to politically wound him in case he tries to run again.
I was listening to a congressman last night, a black gentleman representing a district in Florida. he said much of this testimony has already come out in House hearings and this committee is cherry-picking what they want you to hear in primetime.
As one example, did you know there was sworn testimony in the House that Trump offered troops to House (Pelosi) leadership on January 4th? Have you heard that in these latest hearings? If not, I'll save you the trouble - it hasn't. And it won't.
For whatever bad things Trump may have done as President (and they aren't near as many as breathlessly enumerated by much of the MSM), the Democrats are out of their rabid-arse minds and are opening the door to serious problems down the road for this country...Impeachment by hearsay, Impeachment for purely political reasons, blatantly false testimony pushed as fact long after it was known as false, tampering with Justice, abusing FISA, lying to judges, setting up innocent people using the FBI, no-knock SWAT raids on elderly people under the glare of CNN cameras...The list goes on and on as they feed their TDS.
As one very thoughtful person recently told me, "You can't talk to these people, you can't rationalize or debate with them. The only thing left to do, is shoot them".
Jon has long thought I was crazy about armed conflict in this country. I suspect he doesn't think I'm near as crazy about that as he used to...
