This had to give Trump a big thrill up the leg:
Republicans on Capitol Hill are asking the Justice Department to consider bringing criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide in President Donald Trump’s first administration who became a star congressional witness about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to two sources familiar with recent developments.
GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk made a criminal referral of Hutchinson to the Justice Department in recent days, the sources said. He accused Hutchinson of lying to Congress in her summer 2022 testimony when she alleged Trump was aware of the potential for violence on January 6, 2021, and forged ahead with his attempts to rile up his supporters.
Loudermilk has long attempted to reframe the public perception of the events at the Capitol, including by scrutinizing the House committee that investigated the Capitol riot and found Trump was “directly responsible” for the riot. Loudermilk’s referral was co-signed by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, who chairs the committee under which Loudermilk is running a probe of January 6.
The “charges” such as they are are about her heresy testimony about what she heard second hand about Trump in the limo and Trump saying that they could let the people with guns come in because they weren’t there to hurt him. How that translates to a crime, I don’t know but the main purpose of something like this is to serve as a warning to anyone who deigns to testify against Trump. (Epstein survivors certainly will take notice.)
These miscreants will never give up on exonerating their Dear Leader for that day. It won’t work, of course. We all know what we saw. But until he’s long dead they’ll keep trying. It’s a cult.
