Meadows' Aide Paints Trump As An Unhinged Lunatic During Explosive Hearing

From trying to grab the steering wheel and drive his presidential limo to the Capitol, to calling for the White House to let the rioters come into the building, Donald Trump behaved like an absolute madman during the Capitol Riots, according to former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson. The testimony during an emergency hearing on Tuesday was certainly explosive, and it just might be the final straw for many people on the Right. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So yesterday, we obviously had a rather explosive emergency hearing of the January 6th select committee where Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aid to Mark Meadows pretty much gave up the game. Uh, she told stories of course, about how Donald Trump wanted to go to the capital for the actual riot said that he was irate and demanded that they removed the metal detectors so that his armed fans could watch his speech on the Ellis. She told the story of how he won, attempted to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limo to drive it to the ellipse. And then of course put his hands around the neck of a secret service agent told the story of how one time he got so irate that he threw a plate of food against the wall. And she had to clean up ketchup. It was a lot, it was, uh, it was a lot to take in, but the question of course, is does any of this rise to the level of criminal behavior, right?

Because if these are just stories about, Hey, look how crazy and unhinged Donald Trump is, we appreciate it, but that's not gonna put him behind bars. So does any of this at all rise to the level of criminal behavior? Some legal experts say yes, 100%. And of course the biggest crime that they say, these actions that were revealed by Cassidy Hutchinson reveal is seditious conspiracy, actively encouraging these individuals that did have these weapons to come in, you know, encouraging people to storm the capital, or at least even go to the capital with weapons that could easily result in a charge of seditious conspiracy against the United States. One legal expert has gone even further. In addition to seditious conspiracy, he also says that you could have interfering with congressional proceedings, you know, basically interrupting the electoral vote, uh, certification Donald Trump by encouraging people to go there could be charged with that defrauding the us, of course, with all the claims of voter fraud, uh, seditious conspiracy, as I mentioned, assaulting a secret service agent, that's illegal, by the way, you can't do that.

It's kind of like a police officer. You can't, you know, put your hands around their throats and I'll get more to that in just a minute. And then of course inciting a riot, but here's the thing the secret service has come out and said, Nope, none of this is true. Donald Trump did not lunge for the steering wheel. And they were very particular in saying that he did not lunge for the steering wheel. So I think the language they chose there is, uh, rather telling, you know, it's not technically a lie if he didn't lunge at the steering wheel, even if he grabbed for it, if they say he didn't lunge for it, you know, they're not technically lying. And then of course they say he never put his hands around the throat of a secret service agent. Um,

So we have conflicting stories. Of course, although Hutchinson was in fact under oath, these secret service agents that have come out are not, of course they have offered and I hope they do take them up on that offer. If this testimony is not true, we need to know that. But here's an interesting point, uh, made by Bo of the fifth column. He mentioned on Twitter, that it is the job of a secret service agent, not just to protect the president, but to protect the presidency.
