What Cassidy Hutchinson Might Say
June 28, 2022 at 6:36 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, will testify today before the January 6 Committee.

Playbook: “Hutchinson knows a lot. Before, on, and after Jan. 6, she had close proximity to both Meadows and then-President Donald Trump.”

Said Hutchinson: “Almost all, if not all, meetings Mr. Trump had, I had insight on.”

Punchbowl News: “Hutchinson also testified that she saw Meadows burn papers in his office after meeting with Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) in the weeks before Jan. 6. Perry played a key role in the push to appoint Jeffrey Clark, a DOJ environmental lawyer, as acting attorney general in order to use the Justice Department to bolster Trump’s false election fraud claims.”

CNN: “Hutchinson told the January 6 committee that Trump had suggested to Meadows he approved of the ‘hang Mike Pence’ chants from rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol.”

Former Meadows Aide Says Lauren Boebert Was Involved in ‘Early Planning’ of January 6th

BY TARA DUBLIN
APRIL 27, 2022

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former assistant to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, identified Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) as one of a small group of Republican lawmakers who met with Meadows as early as the last week of November 2020 to “raise the idea” of former Vice President Mike Pence intervening to prevent the certification of election results by Congress on January 6, 2021. The ensuing assault on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters that day led to the deaths of five people and Trump’s eventual second impeachment trial.

Hutchinson specifically named Boebert in her testimony before the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol in February. Portions of her testimony were made public this week as part of a legal filing made by lawyers for the committee in a lawsuit brought against it by Meadows in an effort to block several subpoenas.


Boebert has been scrutinized for giving tours of the Capitol to a “large group” of people on the day prior to the insurrection, and for sending tweets that some characterized as relaying “intel” about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s location during the attack. On the morning of January 6th, she tweeted, “Today is 1776.”


Under questioning, Hutchinson recalled several meetings in the weeks after Thanksgiving in which “campaign officials and a few members of Congress” discussed the possibility of Pence aiding an effort to overturn the election results on January 6th. “Mr. Scott Perry, Mr. Jim Jordan… Ms. Marjorie Taylor Greene. and Lauren Boebert are the four members that immediately jump out to me,” Hutchinson said.

You know she isn't the brightest match in the book. Who gave her the ideas? Probably the same people who recruited and funded her run for Congress. She just didn't emerge from the ether. She certainly wasn't some local policital star before her bid for the House of Representatives. Whoever put her up to running was also directing her actions.

Meadows and Meadows had Trump's ear and Ginny had Trump and Meadow's ear and Ginny is married to Clarence -- given Clarence's refusal to recuse I want someone or something to connect that. Ginny and Thomas must go down.

I think she's going to testify about Trump having direct knowledge of the plan for violence at the Capitol.

This will be killing a lot of birds with one stone.

The plot thickens and all fingers point to TDFG. For NOTHING goes down without his knowledge or involvement. That is how a Mob Boss acts.

I see lots of people going to prison for many years. Boobert included.

I don’t know Cassidy Hutchinson, and I can’t speak to how things worked at the White House, but when Meadows was on the Hill he always insisted that she be in *every* meeting he had, no matter how small. It was odd then, and doesnt seem to be working out for him now.
