1:02: And here we go! Committee Chair Bennie Thompson gavels in and introduces today’s witness, Hutchinson.

1:04: Just kidding, he hasn’t introduced her yet. He puts a fine point on how the Committee has received a bunch of new evidence recently on exactly what was going on in the White House and in the chief of staff’s office on January 6 and in the days just prior. Explosive stuff. Big stuff. And NOW he mentions today’s witness and says she is extremely courageous for the testimony she has given.

1:06: Liz Cheney makes sure y’all know Cassidy Hutchinson is a REPUBLICAN who worked at TRUMP WHITE HOUSE and used to work for STEVE SCALISE and y’all ALL KNOW HER so don’t LIE you FUCKERS.

1:10: Hahahaha, Thompson is like hey before we start, here are a bunch of pictures of Cassidy Hutchinson with Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise and Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Not being a mere coffee fetcher in literally ANY of these pictures.

1:12: THOMPSON: Is it fair to say you were right in the middle of the thick of all these assholes?

HUTCHINSON: On a typical day I saw every Republican in Congress and every person in the Trump White House and also my desk was literally between Mike Pence’s office and Jared Kushner’s office and the Oval Office.

They even have pictures of the West Wing, showing how close her office was to all these dicks.

1:15: CHENEY: You remember Rudy Giuliani meeting with Mark Meadows on January 2?

HUTCHINSON: Ayup! I walked Rudy out to his car that night and he was like oh hey Cassidy are you excited about how we are going to go to the Capitol (for coups) on January 6? Afterward, Mark Meadows said things might get “real, real bad” on January 6.

She says before the 6th, she was “apprehensive,” and after hearing Rudy Giuliani and Meadows’s response, she was “scared and nervous for what could happen on January 6.”

1:17: Now we move on to a conversation Hutchinson had with DNI John Ratcliffe (that asshole) during December 2020. Cheney plays a clip of Hutchinson’s videotaped testimony where she said Ratcliffe seemed disinclined to participate in Trump’s campaign to overturn the election.

1:20: Cheney goes over evidence that DOJ and the Secret Service had all these warnings about violence on January 6, and that the White House was receiving intel on that. Hutchinson in her earlier testimony said she heard the words “Oath Keeper” and “Proud Boys” when Giuliani would be around, in regards to the planning for January 6.

1:22: Cheney plays Hutchinson’s testimony about a call she got on January 4 from Robert O’Brien, the national security advisor. He wanted to talk to Mark Meadows about potential violence on the 6th. There’s discussion about Meadows meeting with and talking to Tony Ornato, who was at the time the deputy chief of staff for operations about violence on the 6th. Hutchinson explains that the position Ornato held was one of the most important, as it coordinated pretty much all security for the president, the White House campus, and the vice president.

1:27: Cheney plays footage and shows evidence of reports early on January 6 about people at the Ellipse rally with violent weapons, people in DC with AR-15s, and so on. In earlier testimony Hutchinson said Meadows and Ornato met that morning and Meadows was briefed on what the rally attendees were armed with that day. Hutchinson testified that Meadows’s reaction to that was that he didn’t even look up from his phone. He was asked if he heard what was just said. He asked if Ornato had told Trump, and Ornato said yep he sure had.

Sounds like Mark Meadows was just real worried!
