this trial is shameful...
It might be, if it was a trial. This is not a trial.

i doubt anyone other than partisans are watching it. i haven't watched it, but do read the news and the media has once again shown their naked bias by reporting as fact the hearsay testimony of ms. hutchinson. reason number 3485859404 why the mainstream media is overwhelmingly distrusted by the public.
The only rule of evidence that matters in this process is the oath the witnesses swear to tell the truth. Not surprising that no defenders of Trump are willing to follow that one simple rule. How many more times does it have to be said that everyone is welcome to testify?

Why do you not care about the health of our system of government? I can't understand how anyone who says they love this country doesn't finally see the disaster we just barely escaped. This process is painful but necessary, no matter which party committed the crimes.

It's notable that they are not disputing the rest of her testimony, in which she stated (from your link):

"Trump demanded that Secret Service allow his armed supporters into the cordoned-off area where he was delivering his remarks. Hutchinson said that many of Trump’s supporters refused to walk through the metal detectors — or magnetometers — that had been set up to secure the area, and Capitol police spotted several men in the crowd carrying handguns and AR-15 rifles."

“I don’t f***ing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the f***ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the f***ing mags away,” Trump said at the time, according to Hutchinson.

He could have done one tweet and simply said that "Gugliemi says the agents will testify she's full of cranberries."

Is Cassidy Hutchinson under oath??......why is she flat out lying....and lies they have to know someone is going to immediately call them on?

Hutchinson lied about Trump in the ”beast”....
First off, the Secret Service guys said they would testify...under oath...that not one word of that is true

...second....Trump wasn't in the ”beast”

then Hutchinson presented a ”note” she claimed she wrote.....another flat out lie
....Eric Herschmann immediately came forward....said it's a flat out lie....he wrote that note

Liz Cheney presented the note....claimed Hurchinson wrote it....when Cheney knew all along that was a lie

what the sam hell is up with these people.....it's one thing to flat out lie....it's another to be this bad at it

My question is why would they be focused on that part of her testimony and not the part about Trump demanding that they let the armed people past the mags?

Bennie Thompson has issued an open invitation to anyone with information to come and testify more than once at the close of a hearing.

If I was the one being maligned by spurious testimony, I would be over there banging on the doors and demanding to set the record straight.

Sorry I have to post this meme. I go crazy when people use the Gateway Pundit as a source.
