Did you miss the part about him throwing his lunch against the wall? Great man, that Trump guy!

BTW, Peter Alexander is not sticking up for anybody. He is a reporter. He reports on information other people give him. That is how reporters work.

Do not confuse with commentators and pundits.

Trump responds to Hutchison with the usual, "I hardly knew who she was." The problem with being a narcissist is you are so full of yourself that you don't notice other people in the room watching and listening to you. There are 400 other "nobody's" who staff the West Wing who have been no doubt watching and listening to Mr. President.

If I had the culinary staff that the leader of the free world has. I would never be eating anything that required catsup. sheesh..

Prediction: Ms Hutchinson will or already has an agent who will get her a hefty book deal advance so she can live comfortably until Hollywood or the media finds a soft landing for her.

This seems relevant.

Here is a memo written by the newly hired Mr. Miller on January 4, 2021, in which he severely limits the power of the National Guard.

This is kind of a Big Deal!!!

There has not been a chance for any further testimony after this, because they actually postponed going on the vacation break that all congrescritters get over the 4th to present this at the last minute, but now there won't be anything further from them until later in July.

At that point, perhaps we'll hear more about this and maybe we won't.

Because again, assault on an agent is not the story here.

And unless it's proven that she specifically lied (which it has not been) it has no effect on the credibility of the remainder of her testimony.

Also? I have less trust for things coming out from journalists, from anonymous sources, on Twitter or on TV shows or what not, than I do for statements made UNDER. OATH. That's the standard. These things you all are saying prove her a liar, are weaker by far than her testimony.
She testified someone told her that they heard that someone else heard. That's real quality there. So high quality that if this was a court of law, it would never be allowed.

She has a book deal in the works and needs some hype. Follow the money.

On the other hand, we know two secret service agents actually in the car state her testimony is false.

We know two secret service agents actually in the car state Trump never tried to grab the wheel or choke the driver.

The political committee has stated they will not be hearing testimony from the two secret service agents, even though those agents have requested to do so to set the record straight against false rumors.

Why don't you and others just face the facts. You have something made up in your minds and you are more than willing to listen to not only facts as you should, but also rumors and flat out lies that you should not if they match up with your view. On the other hand, you want to discount or eliminate any information which goes against your views.

And I say all this as someone who continues to advise against anyone supporting Trump to be the Republican nominee.

It has not been debunked. Those reports came from anonymous sources. Nobody has heard anything from the Secret service or the agents. At all. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

He tweeted an update to the original tweet this morning, in which he named the source. I have posted it several times.

Peter Alexander may have been played....nobody has corroborated the story that I am aware of. It's a journalist worst nightmare...a permanent exclusive. We will see.

this trial is shameful...
It's not a criminal trial. It's a congressional hearing with different rules.

Ornato can testify before the committee, under oath, with counsel at his side, at any time.
