Ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Tuesday testified that former President Trump and his former chief of staff Mark Meadows were both told attendees at the Jan. 6, 2021, Ellipse rally had weapons and that Trump was frustrated that security measures were keeping those with weapons from joining the rally crowd.
Hutchinson, a former top aide to Meadows, told the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that Trump was “furious” that the Ellipse near the White House

What did Pelosi know, and what was she doing? She was in charge of Capitol security. Why hasn't she been subpoenaed?

If this witness is lying she should get jail time. I read another article that said she still planned on working for President Trump at Mara Lago even after the events of Jan 6th occurred. Someone is not being truthful.

Lies, lies, and more lies. Many of these Swamp Creatures will literally say ANYTHING that they are told to say, just like Traitor Joe.

The Hill, Mark Meadows. I don’t mean to sound like a snob but this girl is a 2019 graduate of Christopher Newport College. (Me neither.) I’m guessing she’s a plant.

He asked for the "Mags"(magnetometers, metal detectors) to be turned off, as the crowd was getting backed up, entry slowed and people being forced to hand over pocket knives, car keys and leathermans. Media is couching that as "Weapons", guys consider them daily carry tools...and have been carrying them every day since Grandpop gave us our first one around the age of six or seven yo..

Since the dems can’t define what a woman Isaac now what a ‘weapon’ is maybe they should stop this show trial before the whole country starts a laughing at them.

It doesn’t matter what the testimony is or even if it’s true. All they will succeed to do is damage Trump. People are much more concerned about what is going on in THEIR life. I will not continue living this way because I hate Trump for some reason. I will never vote for the party that is responsible for making me poor and unsafe. It is disgusting what is being done to our children.

Except, they didn't HAVE weapons. The only people armed were the embedded FBI and the Capitol Police.

I came back a while ago from visiting my elderly neighbors. They were getting ready to watch the kangaroo court
hearing. It is taking more and more self restraint to keep from telling them how brain-washed they are.

And reply #7, it is more the Democrat's speed to promise what they WILL do to you, than wasting bribes pating you.
My dad was acting as counsel for a witness of a mob hit. Bobby Kennedy was AG, then, and he wanted my dad out of the room so he could speak privately to the witness.
Witness refused. Bobby mentioned consequences of decisions made.
2 weeks later, witness was murdered.

She said that Trump was " furious " that the ellipse had not filled up. There have never been any overhead shots of the crowd published for a reason. The turnout was huge.She's a liar and the question is who paid/promised her how much or what for her lies.

Does kind of beg the question: who exactly IS the President of the United States (at any given time), and what authority does he really have? Also, makes me wonder what kind of briefings the limo driver and detail got and from whom, beforehand, to be prepared to calmly override a direct order from the President, which is not to say, hold the President against his will??

This hearing gives Liz Cheney plenty of talking points for the Wyoming U.S. House debate scheduled for Thursday. The event, sponsored by Wyoming PBS, is closed to the public and media. The Cheney Campaign issued the following statement: “No one from our campaign ever asked, requested, or called on the debate organizers to close the debate to the media or to the public. Period.”

Okay, who told Trump and Meadows? What proof did they have when they told him?
Yeah, if the President of the United States is making a speech, I would like to know that there are people who are trying to keep weapons away from the location. Seems there are more than a few incidents in American and world history where that combination led to a very bad, bad result.
Saying something doesn't make it so. You can say I was warned that the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders planned to have an overnight sleepover at my house last Friday night, but that doesn't make it true.
So this is the "explosive evidence" that the witches on the witch hunt committee stuck around DC instead of starting their 4th of July vacation a few days early. Ho hum. I was hoping they'd finally have stuck Trump on tearing those "Do not remove under penalty of law" tags off his hotel mattresses.

Her entire testimony is misinformation. She is reporting what others told her about the incident, so she has no direct knowledge of the facts. She says the President tried to grab the steering wheel of "the Beast". The President was driven in the Suburban and not the Beast limo so that is false. Both vehicles have bulletproof partitions between the seats and the driver so that is would be physically impossible for anyone to get to the driver and put a Ninja move on him. Total fabrication.

Pelosi is ultimately in charge of the security at the US Capitol building, not Trump. It has been reported that Trump and the Pentagon offered Pelosi the National Guard and other troops to secure the Capitol complex a couple of days before Jan. 6th and Pelosi and company turned those offers down. Remember all along the Democrats have been crying that Trump did not go to the Capitol building to stop the rioting that was occurring, now we know why, the Secret Service would not allow Trump to travel there.

She is full of beans. The Secret Service and the police would never, ever have allowed this to go unnoticed. BTW, how come no one took a photo of those so-called weapons!?

Apparently the Secret Service Agent who Cassidy Hutchinson said told her the information that she testified about in the Congressional Hearing has now denied ever talking to Hutchinson concerning the matters about which Hutchinson alleged, and that Secret Service Agent is being backed up by a second Secret Service Agent who was there with both maintaining that Hutchinson’s testimony was false.
