Mark Meadows' associate threatened ex-White House aide before her testimony

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson received at least one message tacitly warning her not to cooperate with the House January 6 select committee from an associate of former chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The message in question was the second of two warnings the committee disclosed at the end of its explosive special hearing on Tuesday, when Hutchinson testified about matters including how Donald Trump directed a crowd he knew was armed to march on the Capitol, the sources said.

“[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal, and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition,” the message read. The redaction was “Meadows”, the sources said.

The message was presented in closing remarks at the special hearing by the committee vice-chair, Liz Cheney, who characterized the missive as improper pressure on a crucial witness that could constitute illegal witness tampering or intimidation.

1. Hey, lawyers! Clearly that was an attempt to intimidate.

But would that wording be illegal? Sounds very carefully parsed to me.

2. Mob bosses know how to word threats.

3. Each sentence could be taken 2 ways.

"He wants me to let you know he's thinking about you."
Either concerned about the pressure you must be under or he's threatening you.
"He knows you're loyal". To the Constitution or to the orange fuck?
""You're going to do the right thing." Tell the truth or blindly follow a madman?
