At the January 6 Committee hearing yesterday, former Trump Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows’ aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, provided some hearsay testimony that liberals ate up TDS spoon. One of the more outrageous stories she told involved Donald Trump trying to grab the steering wheel of the presidential SUV and then attempting to strangle a Secret Service agent. Welp, that Secret Service agent is ready to testily that none of it happened.
Hutchinson testified that she had heard how after the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6, President Trump wanted to go to the Capitol but his Secret Service detail ruled against it. In Hutchinson’s second-hand tale, an enraged Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential SUV and tried to steer it in the direction of the Capitol.
A Secret Service agent by the name of Robert Engel then allegedly grabbed Trump’s hand and told him not to do that. In response, Trump supposedly tried to strangle Engel.
It’s a great story that had liberals creaming in their jeans, but as Fox News reports, it never happened:
Two Secret Service agents are prepared to testify before Congress that then-President Donald Trump did not lunge at a steering wheel or assault them in an attempt to go to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, a source close to the Secret Service tells Fox News.
Engel and the SUV driver, an unnamed Secret Service agent, are prepared to testify before the Jan. 6 committee that the president did not lunge at the steering wheel. The Jan. 6 committee and the Secret Service are in discussions about whether one or both men will appear on camera.
Since the purpose of the January 6 Committee is anything but finding the truth, you can bet that those “discussions” involve not getting either Secret Service agent to testify.
In some other totally non-shocking news, there was another problem with Hutchinson’s “bombshell” testimony. Hutchinson claims she wrote a note instructing President Trump to condemn anyone who illegally entered the Capitol on January 6. This was her testimony yesterday:
“That’s a note that I wrote at the direction of the chief of staff on Jan. 6, likely around 3 o’clock,” said Hutchinson.
“And it’s written on the chief of staff note card, but that’s your handwriting, Ms. Hutchinson?” Liz Cheney asked.
“That’s my handwriting,” replied Hutchinson.
But as ABC News reports, it ain’t her handwriting:
Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann is claiming that a handwritten note regarding a potential statement for then-President Donald Trump to release during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was written by him during a meeting at the White House that afternoon, and not by White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Sources familiar with the matter said that Herschmann had previously told the committee that he had penned the note.
“The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,” a spokesperson for Herschmann told ABC News Tuesday evening.
“All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann,” the spokesperson said.
Making the lie worse, Liz Cheney knew it wasn’t Hutchinson’s handwriting and she allowed the fake testimony to continue.
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since Hutchinson testified and already 2 lies have been exposed. There is a Latin phrase used in legal matters that goes Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. It means “false in one thing, false in everything” and is used to discredit witnesses who have made verifiably false statements. If they lie about one thing, everything they say is bullshit.
