    Trump Group Pays for Jan. 6 Lawyers, Raising Concerns of Witness Pressure

    WASHINGTON — Former President Donald J. Trump's political organization and his allies have paid for or promised to finance the legal fees of more than a dozen witnesses called in the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, raising legal and ethical questions about whether the former president may be influencing testimony with a direct bearing on him.

    The arrangement drew new scrutiny this week after Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide in his White House, made an explosive appearance before the House panel, providing damning new details about Mr. Trump’s actions and statements on the day of the deadly riot.


    She did so after firing a lawyer who had been recommended to her by two of Mr. Trump’s former aides and paid for by his political action committee, and hiring new counsel. Under the representation of the new lawyer, Jody Hunt, Ms. Hutchinson sat for a fourth interview with the committee in which she divulged more revelations and agreed to come forward publicly to testify to them.

    Yep.

    The woman told the truth but you know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished. The Tea Party/Trump Fascist GOP troll army is out in full force. She'll need security for a long time if Nov 2022 gives the Trump fascists a leg up.

    It is extremely odd and curious with a lot of posts describing the same exact thing describing it in totally opposite views. Shows, I guess, people see and hear what they want to see and hear.

    Evidently Hutchinson had a dislike of her former boss' boss which made the committee very giddy, and was just the type -- the only type -- of witness they wanted. She disliked Trump and was willing to say bad things about him, verifiable or not doesn't matter because no challenges will be allowed anyway, Her first lawyer, while willing to represent her as a lawyer, probably made clear he personally (as opposed to lawyerly) didn't agree with what she was going to testify and its veracity. I would have changed lawyers too.

    Proof please... that ""Former President Donald J. Trump's political organization and his allies have paid for or promised to finance the legal fees of more than a dozen witnesses called in the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack"... show us the "financial disclosures" please
    ""According to financial disclosures, in May alone, Mr. Trump’s “Save America” political action committee paid about $200,000 to law firms. That including $75,000 to JPRowley Law, which represents Cleta Mitchell, a pro-Trump lawyer who has filed suit to try to block the committee’s subpoena, and $50,000 to Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White, which has represented Stephen K. Bannon, a close ally of the former president who refused to meet with the panel and has been charged with criminal contempt.""

    Straight out of the purge playbook. Try to not let defense witnesses have legal representation, but if that can't be done for other reasons at least disparage, denigrate, slander, and trash hell out of them.

    Read the news. How many Democrats have said they will not abide by supreme court rulings and will attack the court? I've lost count by now.

    The committee is not worthy of Trump's testimony...The committee is the ones showing they are not telling the truth, so I'm thinking for Trump to step up and let the committee tell yet more lies and alter the evidence of what he said would only be the results... they have already altered evidence and lied about it, so there would be no doubt that will happen again, with the common denominator by the name of Schiff.

    They have put witness that is just a low level aide to the Chief of Staff that is giving 2nd and 3rd hand testimony and the left treats her like a god that is not to be doubted...

    The committee is illegit and illegal, so any testimony they collect will be illegit and illegal and not permissible in a court of law... Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine...

    The altered text message exchange Jordan had with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...t-message-between-mark-meadows-and-jim-jordan

    They have omitted evidence regarding Ray Epps, the figure seen in many videos orchestrating the breach of the Capitol who, nevertheless, has not been indicted by the Justice Department.

    Their repeated claims that the event was an “armed insurrection” of “white supremacists,” not one person has been charged with carrying or using a firearm inside the Capitol building.

    The committee needs to clean up their own act before continuing this charade..

    Hutchinson claims she wrote a note... that it is her handwriting... while Eric Herschmann claims it is his note written on January 6, 2021...

    Why does it look like she has a 5 o'clock shadow under her nose? And why is she sweating so much in that picture? Could it be in response to the smoldering embers of any semblance of her credibility?

    It is a 100% absolute certainty that If Trump did testify the committee would not believe nor accept a single word he said.

    If he gets elected again he stands a chance to be President for life and the WH toilet will be permanently clogged and so will the Oval Room.

    I wonder why. The guy is as honest as they come, a real saint. Who would doubt anything he says? His disinfectant cure for Covid saved millions of lives, no?

    BS... cross-examine the woman in front of you telling the "story".. You want to drag every one and his uncle in because of this lady's "story"... let her wiggle out of her own lies.. right in front of you... ..and charge her with perjury... oops, my bad, this is not a court so she probably can't perjure herself... she already gave a lie about what Trump did not do.. she told it third hand...
    But keep up the good work.... you folks will ride this Hutchinson fake testimony all the way through the election as a distraction from Biden's failed policies...

    I would like to make a prediction... Hutchinson will never sit in front of a jury and be questioned again... I'm smelling a rat.

    The political right is lining up to volunteer to be the next laughing stock for stupid political jokes. They have nothing ...... NOTHING ..... to offer by way to facts, truth, hope or a future for us. So all they can do at this point is to pretend they don't understand what the Committee is doing and why. They have no choice but to pretend it is a legal proceeding, --a court trial, --or should be. They hope to trick the sane part of America into forgetting that it will be up to the DOJ to act with charges and prosecutions and court trials if the DOJ thinks any are warranted. This trickery gives them an opportunity to slander and smear anyone who is not among their cohort of Trump loyalists.

    And this is what we have come to as the right continues to do such damage to America.

    Sorry but did you miss the point that these hearings are NOT A COURT OF LAW!

    There is NOTHING stopping anyone from testifying with an alternative narrative

    Believe the committee's demeanor or not. I don't care. Believe the moon is made of green cheese. I don't care.
