Witness Tampering? Ms. Hutchinson was under intense pressure from Trump World"

Why Cassidy Hutchinson’s Testimony Was Rushed

New York Times: “At Ms. Hutchinson’s deposition the next day, committee members investigating the attack on the Capitol were so alarmed by what they considered a clear case of witness tampering — not to mention Ms. Hutchinson’s shocking account of President Donald Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6, 2021 — that they decided in a meeting on June 24, a Friday, to hold an emergency public hearing with Ms. Hutchinson as the surprise witness the following Tuesday.”

“The speed, people close to the committee said, was for two crucial reasons: Ms. Hutchinson was under intense pressure from Trump World, and panel members believed that getting her story out in public would make her less vulnerable, attract powerful allies and be its own kind of protection. The committee also had to move fast, the people said, to avoid leaks of some of the most explosive testimony ever heard on Capitol Hill.”

why she would need to is beyond me, she isn't guilty of anything.

But righty would lose it's mind. Righty would wait about 3 hours for her arrest and if not they would get their guns and go to the streets.

Next thing you know it will be within 60 days of an election, when you "can't" do anything - for fear of being "partisan." Only Republicans are allowed to be partisan, don't you know?
