So then what are they for?

Other posters have stated DOJ is running a concurrent investigation and Grand jury. So why are these politicians getting involved in a criminal case?

I'm putting on my "thinking cap." I think that the committee wouldn't have allowed that topic to come up UNLESS they had something to back it. There are attorneys on the committee. They know exactly what "hearsay" means. Stay tuned, I just bet the Beast driver and other witness have already told their version of what happened and that is why they let today's witness talk about it.

I and many others on the forum realize that you Trump lovers can't bear to hear the truth about your guy. It hurts. It's a betrayal to us Americans and yes it hurts like hell. The poor man is clearly suffering from a mental disorder whether it be dementia or bipolar.

It's a political kangaroo court. Her testimony is useless to prevent Trump from running again. If she wasn't only the people at the hearing but talk is the Secret Agent and driver.


If I say that I heard you stole money at the job and I wasn't there, the internal investigation has to question the people in the accusation to verify the validity of the accusation.




Are they going to call the Agent and driver or they are just going to stick with her hearsay testimony?

It’s funny they’re investing all of this effort because they’re scared of Trump running again and no other reason. Reality is DeSantis is probably a bigger threat in 2024 than Trump

Even if it turns out that the story is not true, there is a veritable mountain of evidence that Trump planned an insurrection to take over the government after he lost the election and knew he lost the election. That's the point of the hearings and it's more clear every day.

I still think the committee already has testimony from the Secret Service guys about the ride back to the WH. Otherwise they wouldn't have asked Hutchinson the question on live TV.

You think? if they don't, would you admit this is a Kangaroo court?


Stupid, you don't need a hearsay that wasn't there if you have the testimony of the 2 people there.

IMO the committee almost certainly has strong backing evidence for anything that was aired today. We'll be seeing...

I wish the Secret Service agents would testify. They can clarify that part of the testimony and while they’re there, clarify anything else. Anything at all.

That goes for anyone else that can refute the testimony on record.

Anyone of those people who can prove something is not factual, step forward. DO.

Once again though they could easily be lying just like everyone else
