The Jan. 6 Stalinist show trial featured a surprise witness Tuesday, and CNN wants us to know that the walls are closing in: “This is a bombshell,” sputtered someone whom the alleged news network described as “one Trump adviser.” The “adviser” continued: “It’s stunning. It’s shocking. The story about ‘The Beast’ [the presidential limo] — I don’t have words. It’s just stunning.”
Oh yeah, they’ve got him now: “This paints a picture of Trump completely unhinged and completely losing all control which, for his base, they think of him as someone who is in command at all times. This completely flies in the face of that.”
At last, the Jan. 6 circus has the credibility that has so far eluded it: “No one is taking this lightly,” said CNN’s anonymous Trump aide: “For the first time since the hearings started, no one is dismissing this.” Back in the real world, however, there is considerable doubt about what the surprise witness described as happening.
The witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, who had been an aide to Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, didn’t even witness the events she recounted firsthand. She claimed that Tony Ornato, the White House deputy chief of staff for operations, told her about what had happened after Trump’s Jan. 6 speech. “When I returned to the White House,” Hutchinson testified, “I walked upstairs towards the chief of staff’s office and I noticed Mr. Ornato lingering outside of the office. Once we made eye contact, he quickly waved me to go into his office, which was just across the hall from mine.”
Once inside, Hutchinson was confronted with the malign effects of the out-of-control Commander in Chief: “When I went in and he shut the door, I noticed Bobby Engel, who was the head of Mr. Trump’s security detail, sitting in a chair looking somewhat discombobulated or at a loss.” Engel was shell-shocked over the evil he had experienced at the hands of the demon Trump: “I looked at Tony, and he said, ‘Did you f—ing hear what happened in the Beast?’ He proceeded to tell me that when the president got in the Beast, he was under the impression from Mr. Meadows that the off-the-record movement to the Capitol was still possible or likely to happen and that Bobby had more information.”
All right. So Trump wanted to go to the Capitol. That in itself is nothing, but what Hutchinson said next is raising Democrat and Never-Trumper hopes all over that the real beast, Trump himself, is finally slain and his 2024 hopes ended once and for all.
There is more. Read the rest here.
