About the Secret Service

There’s some important context to the story about Trump trying to grab the wheel that day:

Here is our conversation with @CarolLeonnig , who literally wrote the book on the Secret Service, about the questions surrounding Cassidy Hutchinson's recounting of the story of Donald Trump lunging for the steering wheel when he found out he wasn't going to the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/LYB8zGdvtp

There are three possible explanations for what happened.

1. Cassidy Hutchinson is a fabulist who made that weird story up out of whole cloth for no apparent reason
2. Ornato and Engel embellished the story they related to Hutchinson that day
3. It happened

Considering what we know about Ornato and Engel from Carol Leonnig, They are Trumpers, both of them and Hutchinson was too so they had no reason to make him look worse than he was to her.

I pick door number 3.
